P!nk and Richard Carter replaced the deceased Brittany Murphy and Steve Irwin as Gloria and Trev, respectively. ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ is dedicated to the memory of Brittany Murphy and Steve Irwin. Also Common was also replaced Fat Joe as Seymour. The original cast is joined by new characters voiced by Hank Azaria, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, and Sofía Vergara.‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ is easily one of the most enjoyable, energetic and sometimes chaotic experiences out there, packed with classic songs, fun characters, great 3D visuals and a few nifty surprises. It's the sort of experience that's worth checking out more than once, and it gets better with each viewing. ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ film is several films crammed into one, mixed with numerous songs, plenty of fun characters, a few genuinely awesome 3D visuals, and outstanding computer animation, not to mention a couple of cute surprises. It also happens to be one of the most intriguing, ambitious, and often original sequels out there. While some will not enjoy the film's chaotic spirit, you can't fault a sequel for daring to be not just different, but better.This time around, the sequel follows Erik [Ava Acres], the son of Mumble [Elijah Wood], our hero from the last tale. Erik is scared of all the singing and dancing that his Emperor penguin clan engages in, and ends up leaving them in search of greener pastures and Mumble then leaves the clan to track him down. This leads both of them to another colony lead by Sven [Hank Azaria], a so called penguin who has adopted the ability to fly, but later reveals who he really is. From there on things go from traditional, to completely non-traditional. And the narrative spirals in many different directions, not unlike the ice and watery environment painted in the film.When Erik and Mumble return to their clan, they find that a gigantic iceberg has trapped their families inside the canyon. From there on they attempt to free their loved ones before hunger seals their fate. Along the way, and woven throughout the story, is the somewhat existential adventure of two krill named Bill [Matt Damon] and Will [Brad Pitt] who both give tremendous performances, who leave their mundane existence in search of something daring, fresh and new.Chaos is sort of the best way to describe this film, but what Australian director George Miller seems to be doing is creating multiple of story threads, dozens of characters, and a few twists and turns on the way, so making ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ feel like a four or five animated films ideas tightly woven together into one and does quite a good job overall and if anything, it makes for a much more rewarding experience when watching it in its full and glorious 3D animation.But ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ is about as bizarre as they come, a lively product that captures the heart and spirit of cult Australian filmmaking. The narrative, while borrowing some cues from the first animated film ‘HAPPY FEET,’ does not flow like a traditional 3D animated film, and the story scenario is sometimes more mature than some younger audiences will be able to handle or understand, and to my mind that is not a bad thing, as why should children always be catered for over adults foremost needs in enjoying a 3D animated film of this calibre.The somewhat negative reaction ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ endured during its original cinema release was likely the result of shock over how much this film has to say, and how sometimes sprawling the narrative appears. But cut underneath the surface, and there is a simple, and rather lovely poetic message this 3D animated film is trying to convey, and it's a profound one well worth experiencing and especially as it is still has a wonderful rollercoaster ride filled with magic, love, music and tons of hilarious fun. The 3D animated film dares to be better, as well as different, and it always tries its best to make you smile. And seriously, how much more can you ask from a penguin and especially the team behind this 3D animated lovely family oriented film?HAPPY FEET TWO 3D MUSIC TRACK LISTINGRHYTHM NATION [Performed by P!nk]SEYMOUR’S RAP [Performed by Common]SEXYBACK [Written by Chad Hugo, Pharrell Williams & Mystikal]AIN’T NOBODY [Performed by P!nk]I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS [Performed by Robin Williams]THE MIGHTY SVEN [Performed by Robin Williams and Hank Azaria]MY MIKE SOUNDS NICE [Performed by Common]PAPA OOM MOW MOW [Written by Al Frazier, John Harris, Carl White and Turner Wilson Jr.]NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP [Performed by Matt Damon]ERIK’S OPERA [Performed by Omar Crook and Elizabeth G.

It really should come as no surprise to anyone that ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ looks positively marvellous and stunning via this 3D Blu-ray disc. These days, it's very rare when a 3D animated film of this calibre hits the Blu-ray format and cannot fail to impress and the transfer brings out the very best of the 3D format. The image is bright, bold, immeasurably detailed, as well as flawless images in every single way.

With the 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio you will experience some awesome audio that is very aggressive and thoroughly layered and is equally without error. There is a rather thunderous cue of extreme bass toward the end of this 3D animated film, and it's sure to wake your neighbours up, so fair warning.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Trailer [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [1:05] This is the trailer for the HAPPY FEET TWO: The Video Game.Special Feature: HAPPY FEET TWO Movie App Second Screen: Here you get to enhance your viewing experience by using your iPad®, iPhone® or iPad touch® as a “second screen.” You can play games with the characters from the film, sing along and dance with the movie, and chill out with Lil’ P-Nut [Atticus].Special Feature: Behind the Story: Here you get to view five individual special features that can only be viewed separately and they are as follows:01. Helping Penguins and Pals [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [11:52] Lil' P-Nut [Atticus] hosts as we explore the amazing world of Antarctica, which is the home to penguins, whales, seals, krill and all kinds of fascinating species. Learn more about their habitat, environment and what organizations are doing their part to protect them . . . and how we can all help to preserve these creatures in their natural habit now, and of course it is all aimed at the green environmental angle, but it is again all done very nicely and to the point. We also take a visit to the AQUARIUM of the PACIFIC at Long beach, California. Contributors include Lori Perkins [Presentation Manager], Monica DeAngelis [Marine Mammal Biologist], Kera Mathes [Blue Whale Research Coordinator] and Jerry Schubel [President of AQUARIUM of the PACIFIC].02. How to Draw a Penguin [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [4:59] You get to see the Storyboard and Concept Artist Tim McEwen, who shows us step-by-step how to draw one of our favourite characters "Erik," while highlighting his uniqueness and differences. This feature is about the CGI characters that are hand drawn on a special computer screen. Moreover, this is really interesting and totally fascinating how Tim McEwen shows you how he does his animated drawings of the little penguin to the finished drawing.03. Running with Boadicea [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [3:10] Running, jumping, acrobatics and flips where Bo is the Parkour champion on ice and snow. See how this little lady stays a step in front of all the boys! Once again we have Tim McEwen guiding us through the process of drawing this particular penguin. Contributors include Rob Coleman [Animation Director] and George Miller [Director].04. The Amazing Voices of HAPPY FEET TWO [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [4:51] here we see Robin Williams, Alecia Moore [P!nk], Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Elijah Wood, Hank Azaria. Common and Lil’ P-Nut show us how much fun it was, down under, to voice their animated characters! This brief look shows the obvious fun all the cast had in the studio, where they recorded their lines as a group instead of individually.Special Feature: I Tawt I Taw A Puddy Tat [Looney Tunes Short] [2011] [1080p] [2.40:1] [4:00] Here we have a New Looney Tune Computer-Animated Short. It features the voice of June Foray as Granny, and Mel Blanc's archive recordings taken from the song for Sylvester and Tweety pie. The short is an adaptation of the 1950 song of the same name, sung by Mel Blanc. The animated short is presented with a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround audio track as a bonus. In 1950, Mel Blanc recorded some novelty songs for Capitol Records in the voices of his characters he did for Warner Bros. Cartoons. Now someone has taken his voices from one of those records and, with a new arrangement based on the originals by Billy May, has put them in this new computer animated short in order to illustrate the characterizations of Tweety Pie and Sylvester in all their violent glory!Special Feature: P!nk's New Song [2011] [1080p] [1.78:1] [1:56] Spend time with P!nk and the new song that has been recorded especially for the animated film, which is entitled “Bridge of Light” and was released on the 2nd December, 2011 by Sony Music. We also get to see some behind-the-scene with P!nk in the recording studio. You also get some scenes from the animated film where the song is sung. The song was written by P!nk and her long-time collaborator Billy Mann and serves as the theme song to the film ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ [2011]. The song was a moderate success and became a top 10 hit in Austria, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, but failed to chart high in other countries due to minimal promotion.Special Feature: Happy Feet 2 Sing-A-Long: Here you have a selection of three Sing-A-Long music videos and they are as follows:01. The Mighty Sven Sing-A-Long [2011] [1080p] [2.40:1] [4:15] Why not join in and Sing-A-Long with some of your favourite songs from the animated film and especially with penguin Lovelace [Robin Williams] and to help you, you get the wording at the bottom of the screen, so enjoy!02. Bridge of Light Sing-A-Long [2011] [1080p] [2.40:1] [3:25] Once again you are invited to Sing-A-Long with one of your favourite song from the animated film. But this time you get the full music video from P!nk of the song that again appeared in the animated film and again you get the wording appearing at the bottom of the screen.03. Papa Oom Mow Mow Sing-A-Long [2011] [1080p] [2.40:1] [1:14] Here we get to view the final Sing-A-Long music video. Once again you get the wording appearing at the bottom of the screen to help you join in singing along with the animated characters in the animated film. Sadly, for some unknown reason the Sing-A-Long video ends abruptly.Special Feature: BD-LIVE: This feature requires access to a broadband Internet connection. If your Blu-ray player is currently set to prohibit connections to the Internet, then please consult your Blu-ray player manual or a Blu-ray support website.Finally, ‘HAPPY FEET TWO 3D’ [3D Blu-ray] might pack a lot into a small package, but it's a joyful experience that will bound to impress many adults and children alike. If nothing else, expect this one to earn cult status in the years to come, especially among lovers of Australian cinema. Director George Miller has also mastered the art of the elaborately choreographed animated musical number: The sequel features even more show-stopper performances usually led by P!nk, that is very original, and each of which was planned by a team of famous choreographers, including tap dancer Savion Glover, who was responsible for all of Mumble's moves thanks to motion-capture technology. Overall, the musical numbers and the 3D animation are totally fantastic, but the actual story isn't as cohesive as the original's coming-of-age tale. So I definitely recommend you see this one even if you missed the first ‘HAPPY FEET’ animated film. It's original enough to feel like a stand-alone 3D animated film for sure.

I found this picture pretty straightforward. Mumble is grown and has a young one named Eric,an immensely shy little penguin, who like his father, has trouble expressing himself. Despite his parents encouragement,his one attempt causes an embarrassing moment. When Ramon tries to lend support, he is blown off and on his way back to Adelieland finds he has company when Erik follows allow with two friends. Mumble follows and proceeds to try to get the young ones to return. It is here that Erik meets Sven, a charismatic Puffin from the far North, who met Lovelace aboard a ship and believes him to be a penguin who can fly and who teaches Erik that whatever he wills is his. At that moment,an earthquake shakes the area, pushing a huge iceberg ahead of itself and when the penguins get back to Emperorland,they discover the iceberg has blocked the group inside a deep bowl with no way out. Mumble then tries to enlist what help he can as he strives to help however he can. Lovelace tries to attract the help of the aliens and they do come, but can't stay because a storm drives them away. The Adelies do their best to help by fishing until the storm freezes the ice. It is by dancing that Mumble has figured a way to free the Emperors when he and the Adelies shake the snow against the berg, but it isn't enough and he must enlist the aid of the Elephant Seals and Erik discovers he can sing and does so to persuade the stubborn seals to help. Together, they manage to break the ice to free the Emperors. Bill and Will Krill in the meantime,in their journey of self discovery and to lead the swarm to safer waters also help inadvertantly to break the berg because they believe the dancing means something. The movie does have its drawbacks, the Krills seem a bit disjointed and it flows a bit unevenly, but beyond that, it was a fairly straight story with great music and good characters. One I would recommend.

"Happy Feet" is one of my all-time favorite films for its beautiful animation, wonderful music, and powerful environmental message. There was nothing more that needed to be added to the tale of Mumble Happyfeet, the dancing penguin. So, you can imagine my dismay when I heard that there was a sequel in the works. I've ranted and debated about this sequel in various blogs all over the place, and I can safely say that I both like this film and have issues with it.Good Aspects of this Movie:1. All your favorite characters are back, even if it's only for brief cameos.2. The animation is even better than the first!3. You will fall in love with the characters of Sven and Erik.4. The musical numbers play with some new territory with a great original song and even opera.5. Less environmental "preachyness," as some of you called the first one.Bad Aspects of this Movie:1. Too many pointless subplots that distract from the main story (the krill and Carmen are primary examples).2. Soundtrack isn't as memorable as the first film's.3. A waste of Sofia Vergara. She only has seven lines!Main point: If you've seen the first movie and really like it, check this sequel out. It's not as bad as a lot of people say it is here, but it's not as good as the first one. If you haven't seen the first film or just know it's not really your cup of tea, just stay away.Also, the bonus features even on the bluray are bad. There's virtually nothing interesting to do. This is the same qualm I had with the first film's features though, so go figure.

I purchased this movie after seeing it at the movie theater.The whole audience applauded at the end of the movie at the theater and my whole family loved it on dvd/blu-ray. I think someone is making up numerous one star negative reviews on this film for some unknown crazy reason. You can tell it is the same person who is writing the negative reviews.Just ignore them, and go by the more positive or neutral reviews or better yet,get the dvd and form your own opinions.You can also rent it at your Redbox for a little over a dollar if you want to check it out before buying it.I think it is a great movie and the special effects are fun to watch and very colorful. Great story also.Fun for the whole family.
