Don't listen to the negative reviews

Beautiful, moving film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Even if there is tons of that like in this film here. I liked the first film mostly for the charm and emotional story lines, for example the one about Mumble and his dad. This sequel, which came out five years after the first, lacks completely in that area. They tried to do the same as in the first film (that won the Best Animated Feature Oscar) in some areas, for example they included once again a mix of live action and animation with the animation being the far dominant part. However, this turned out a disappointment. Not even the small fluffy penguins were a delight anymore as they were written so annoyingly with stupid rap songs and without the slightest ounce of obedience to their elders. Talking about the music, it was really really bad early on, but got a bit better as the film went wrong. Still I heavily object to the casting of Pink here. In terms of voice acting, she adds nothing to this movie, simply because she never does it. All she does is sing and her loud scratchy voice did not bring any emotion that this film was so badly in need of. She even sort-of destroyed the final scene with her rendition of Queen's "Under Pressure". As an animal choir the way it started I liked it, but then she started singing and all the magic was gone.This movie was shout completely at the Annie Award (animation Oscar) that year and that says it all. It is a bit of a joke this film had 3 directors and 6 writers and this is what they came up with. Truly embarrassing. The core filmmaker was also the one who directed the first "Happy Feet" movie and he is otherwise mostly known for directing "Mad Max" (the old and the new). What a strange collection of movies he worked on. It does not get any further apart than "Mad Max" and "Happy Feet". One of the film's intended most emotional moments was when the walrus is trapped and Mumble goes to rescue him, so he can reunite with his children. Sadly, the execution really took out all the emotion for some reason. This could have been so much more. Apart from that, this scene made it obvious that the walrus would return the favor at some point later in the movie and now this film was not only void of any heart, but also fairly predictable. The film gets a bit better after the 30-minute-mark, but that does not mean that it becomes a quality movie, just that it really really sucked early on.Another oddity in here is the inclusion of Brad Pitt and Matt Damon as voice actors. I wonder what they were thinking including the duo as krill. I guess they only wanted to advertise the film with these two superstars as their characters basically had nothing to do at all with Mumble and the gang. It was like they were in their own movie, even more extreme than with Scrat and the "Ice Age" films. And Bill's and Will's storyline adds absolutely nothing to this sequel here. So far, there is no news yet about a third "Happy Feet" installment and I do not really think it is necessary unless they somehow manage to come up with something a lot better than they achieved here. The director is busy anyway right now with the "Mad Max" sequel, but who knows. Between film 1 and 2, also a lot of time went by.Another weakness is that the film takes itself so seriously at times and then again is so goofy and childish on other occasions. You really don't know what to think of that. For example there are really all kinds of musical styles in here from rap music to almost opera music or stuff you would expect in "Les Misérables". The only truly positive thing here was the animation. The finale was mesmerizing to watch actually and that was only on a small computer screen. But as I wrote in the title: This is not enough.

Just like the 'Cars' sequel, the 'Happy Feet' sequel doesn't have the charm of the original. Coincidentally both Cars 2 and Happy Feet Two were released in 2011. 'Happy Feet Two' follows the story of 'Erik' who is the son of 'Mumble' and 'Gloria' from Happy Feet. Just like Mumble, Erik seems to be finding difficult to fit into the society. Erik can't dance! While the story may seem very similar, the first-half is quite engaging with the creative story line of interesting characters like the krills and Sven the puffin. The second half is honestly a let- down and the whole penguins stuck by the wall of ice thing didn't work well. Most the things that happen feel unnecessary and extravagant. Thus by the time we reach the climax, the story is all over the place. Erik doesn't get the spotlight he needed to get and even in the end where he shows his talent it was very less impact. Despite its good moments, Happy Feet Two feels like bland unnecessary sequel to a heart- warming film.RATING: [2/5]

The story this time around is a little more unfocused, with some superfluous characters, but the animation is just as impressive and voice cast is expanded in this sequel to the Academy Award-winning HAPPY FEET. In HAPPY FEET TWO, Mumble and Gloria have a son Erik who is having difficulty finding his place in the community. Will he sing? Will he dance? He doesn't know. Meanwhile, shifting Arctic ice traps the majority of the Emperor penguin colony and Mumble goes to off to find help. What I noticed as different this time was that there wasn't as much singing/dancing. This was an element that really enriched the first one and made me enjoy it a little more. The story in this sequel had less of that, and at times was a little dull and borderline depressing. Still, there is a happy ending because, you know, it's a kid's movie. Also, while it was nice to have a larger cast full of recognizable voices, a couple of the characters they play were largely unnecessary and distracting to the overall story-line. The two biggest offenders, despite how entertaining they were to watch, were Brad Pitt and Matt Damon as two krill. Why were they in the movie? Who knows? They never interacted with the main story in any meaningful way, and just seemed like an excuse to get a couple more big-name actors on the marquee. A little more understandable in terms of the themes is the inclusion of a puffin named Sven, who can fly. His primary function is to provide inspiration and guidance to Erik although, as penguins (and the audience) already know, they can't fly even if they wanted to. Despite the character being somewhat unneeded, Hank Azaria did a great job voicing him. The rest of the voice cast, some of which were replacements (Common for Fat Joe, and P!nk for Brittany Murphy), also did a good job, but P!nk was probably the least compelling of them all. She's a decent singer, but her acting could definitely use some work. Overall, the film was slightly less entertaining than its predecessor, but nonetheless enjoyable in its own right.

I gave this two stars as I suppose it would keep children entertained. That's its only redeeming quality.The first film was a wonderful surprise; a CGI movie which wasn't just made for little kids, and which had an engaging, unpredictable story as well as some terrific voice actors. This sequel is essentially a very cheap copy, a money grab slapped together to capitalize as much as possible on the first film.There's essentially no plot. The penguins get trapped in a ravine and have to find their way out. That's it. Elijah Wood's lines amount to little more than chasing his annoying kid and trying to somehow teach him morals.This film completely lacks the charm of its predecessor - which didn't call for a sequel at all.
