Robin and Elijah Wood are all set to repeat their respective roles from the very successful movie 'Happy Feet'. The original movie won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature and swept the box office in 2006. The movie was based on the adventures of Mumble, voiced by Wood, who plays the lead role in the movie. Wood successfully projected the plight of a penguin who could not sing like others in the group but could really dance fabulously.
When a severe famine hits the region, Mumble ventures out to discover the roots of the problem and finds himself in connection with the Adelie penguins. Their leader Ramon, voiced by Robin, gets friendly with Mumble. The character of Lovelace, also voiced by Robin, will return in 'Happy Feet 2' along with Mumble and Ramon. Shooting is expected to commence shortly and the voice tracks will be recorded by the actors in Australia. 'Happy Feet 2' will be directed by George Miller, who has also written the screenplay for the movie. Most of the details are kept secret in the interest of the film's future success. The movie is creating a good amount of interest in film circles, given the stupendous success the original film received in 2006 ($384,335,608 in earnings at the Box Office).
On our Happy Feet 2 page you can read what Robin has to say about the upcoming sequel.
