1. Mumble sounds very funny in Quebec French

2. Creators messed up the seasons in the movie in Antarctica

3. You miss tons of things watching the movie without subtitles

4. Ramon and Lovelace are the same person, just that Robin Williams can have 2 very different voices.

5. Baby Mumble's voice actor is the same one from Rugrats for Tommy.

6. Steve Irwin had the crappiest role in the final movie, only 2 - 3 lines. They should've used his original role.

7. Characters were actually speaking during the Blizzard scene, turn on your subtitles!!

8. Baby Mumble wiggles his tail when he's dancing.

9. When helicopter enters "Emperor Land", Noah swears and says "Holy Flock!"

10. The song "Let's talk about sex", is "Let's talk about eggs"

11. There is almost no way in hell to understand everything that Memphis is saying. Turn on your subtitles.

12. The movie is not only about the "ugly duckling" or try hard and you shall succeed or even "Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer" but also, it shows human carelessness can lead to grand mistakes that they will eventually make (ref. Memphis dropping the egg), human's fear of the unknown (ref. "The Aliens")

13. The song "I Love Big Butts" is not in the French voiceover.

14. The Fullscreen version is actually a "pan-and-scan" and cuts out much of the background when compared with the full movie in Widescreen mode.

15. When the amigos are singing in Spanish, subtitles are unavailable.

16. Subtitles can be missing some key words when actors say their lines too fast.

17. The extra features on the DVD-ROM (which requires the computer) doesn't work. Even when you installed it and following the instructions fully.



It's a great movie none-the-less. I've been watching it at least once every week on my XBOX 360 tongue.gif. Too bad I don't have an HD-DVD player so I can watch it every week on HD-DVD.

Whoa. Your review of this movie slightly scared me, mainly because I simply can't imagine sitting through this movie that many times. I watched it a couple of days ago while playing WoW, and I was weirded out through out most of it. Such an odd movie. I kept questioning everything like, "What in the world is going on??" I'm glad though that you've found a way to pass the time, but....Happy Feet? Seriously, there's got to be a better movie to watch over and over, right?

I must agree Leafbunk, I have steered our family away from this film, were getting kind of sick of these cheaply made animated films.
Also I have never seen soo much promotion over the easter weekend for the dvd, I think it must have done really bad in the cinema in Europe for it to be everywhere soo soon.
I go to get gas..I literally have to push past a huge penguin, I go to pay and guess what ? yes theres a stack of DVDs on the counter and posters all over the shop.
I got to buy a newspaper..same thing going on there, we dont watch much TV but before the football on Easter Sunday three adverts  in a row on the TV.Not to mention the toys..the cornflakes.. the stickers..the cleaning cloths!
I much preffer our son to watch something like Howls Moving Castle or Princcess Mononoke.Much more  talent involved, much more of a story, much bet
ter animation.

Holy crap I didn't even know the voices of half those characters were those people, that's very surprising.

So Steve Irwin did this before his unfortunate departure, wow I had no absolutely no idea (are you talking about the character with the outback accent?).

Didn't even know robin williams was in it lol, doesn't surprise me that he did 2 voices?

Man, I love this movie. However, it hasn't broken my record of watching the exact same movie over and over again. The record currently is watching Spaceballs 10 times.

Steve Irwin's original Albatross scene:


Steve Irwin's Elephant Seal scene:


*Both pictures come from the Fullscreen DVD.

@leafbunk and Mark420: it's all about matter of opinion, I love Happy Feet, but maybe you two love other films. =)

Wow, you must REALLY like that movie to watch it that many times in so little time. I don't think I would have noticed most of those things even if I had seen it that many times myself, lol. Some interesting stuff there.

I ran out of good movies to watch, played the exact same XBOX 360 game over and over again ... don't have money to buy new games ... so I guess this is the best alternative tongue.gif

Plus, I love penguins ... why not watch it and break my old record tongue.gif

Hmmm, pretty amazing what you find out from watching something over and over.
I personally don't have the spare time for that, so thanks for providing that information.
