Happy Feet is in no way happy. It is one of the most depressing and bizarre movies I've ever seen. When Mumble returns from his quest to find out why his penguins are suffering from a fish famine to tell everyone that "no worries! it's not our wrong-doing, it's the result of humans developing our land, but our tap-dancing has endeared them to us enough to stop their development"...is so depressing. It's not even that it harkens back to the times when slaves danced for their masters, it's the image that refuses to stop torturing me, of Mumble so innocently and enthusiastically telling his fellow penguins that everything's going to be ok, all while you see the honing device implanted/attached to his back by humans. It's like a science fiction horror scene. I could cry just thinking about it. Either I'm more sensitive than most people including all children who seem to love this movie or this movie is truly one of the most depressing, environmental horror flicks of all time.
