kenchu Stunning visuals and beautiful animation, but the story is flimsy and incoherent. Half an hour in it still doesn't quite know which direction to go.Happy Feet Two has some good moments. I really enjoyed the part when Sven was introduced. I thought the film would revolve around him and Erik more. It's obvious Erik adores Sven, while being upset with his father. That's a perfect foundation for a good story, but this direction is never really explored. Instead the film shifts its focus entirely when the huge ice sheet imprisons the other emperor penguins. I thought that was odd.What's even odder are the krill. The film spends so much time on them, yet they never really come into contact with any character of importance. What was the point having them at all? It just adds to the film's lack of direction.I was disappointed in this sequel. It feels like the story has so many fundamental problems that should have been easily spotted during the drafting phase. It's a mystery to me how they decided to go with this. What a waste of excellent animation and image quality.

amanda scott it was made good for the targeted audience. This movie had good lessons for kids. So if you are a parent I would let your child watch this. It taught kids that you can do what seems to be the impossible if you work together. It also teaches that things/people are not always what they seem. then there is a lesson with a father and son not seeing eye to eye. the story line is not all that good. it starts with the son running away and ends with them having to save the penguin colony. then there is what seems to be no reason for this kelp story. and they keep going to it and sure they somewhat interact with the main story, and you don't find out till the end that they are only in the story to teach you that one fish/person can change/save the ways of the people. similar to the one person can make a change in the world, its almost like they made the movie then realized that it was to short so they said lets add this, we can teach the kids a valuable lesson.

benitobananas-1 This is a really nice movie - with lovable characters, great voice (Robin Williams is hilarious as Ramon) acting, good animation and music.The story is sweet, and I have to say my 2 yr old boy can't get enough. I've now seen the beginning of the movie at least 5 times, and it's still enjoyable.No idea why it's only got a 5.8 rating here. I'm giving it a 10 to bump it up a bit.If you've got a young boy, I guarantee he'll love it - and you'll be entertained yourself.

fathskie I LOVED the original Happy Feet (I gave it score 10/10), so I went to see this sequel with BIG expectation. Simply said, it didn't deliver. The feeling was too different, at a point I even thought that it might had been directed by different people. The songs (which was one the of the many reasons I loved the original Happy Feet) were terrible, the premise neither strong or clear enough, and the first 5 minutes introduction failed to capture the heart of the original Happy Feet. The crustacean part seems to be more of a meaningless filler that has nothing to do with the plot, annoying to say the least. They tried to be funny with it, but the result is far from succeeded. The black and white scenes to picture human-related flashback was badly executed and felt misplaced. I said it but I say it again: the songs were dull and not catchy. The kids were cute but not comparable to little Mumble and little Gloria. The overall atmosphere were gloomy (despite the humorous attempt) and heavy. The first Happy Feet also has gloominess and a certain heaviness to it, but those came much later. And even while in uncertainty, the original Happy Feet managed to stay fun and light. I must say that the sequel's missing the heart of the prequel.
