What a good movie, with a soundtrack that rivals Moulin Rouge and a story that we can all relate to, at least to some extent!

Take your kids!

Yes, and it actually looks pretty good (I like cartoons, and I'm going to be 28 next Saturday! :oops: ) heheh

Haven't seen it yet though.

Finding Nemo was great on the big screen!

i would see happy feet if i didn't have to deal with all the little kids pointing at the screen and yelling out things such as "Oh, no! that's horrible!" "Oh, so sad..." "Why'd he do that?!"

has anyone seen stranger than fiction, though? i have to say i particularly enjoyed it.

I'll rent the DVD because I like what I've heard on the film's takes on religion and environmentalism, but I'll probably hate the singing. I hate pop songs, and hate most musicals for that reason.

In the commercial it says it's based on a true story. I was confused for a moment.

Robin Williams must have done a lot of coke to get ready for this one.

Well yes that's exactly what I mean!

I don't understand what's true about it... Dancing, singing penguins a true story!?

Maybe the surfing part? But with humans instead of penguins?

Thank you! ^____^ It's concept art for the Mad Hatter in the game "American McGee's Alice," which I'm a big fan of. You could check out more "Alice" art here: http://alice.planets.gamespy.com/files/desktop.shtml

No, you're thinking of the "other" CGI talking penguin movie, "Surf's Up." Happy Feet is less surfer dude ("duuuuuuuude!") and more Mulan Rouge minus the hookers and with environmentalist politics added in. I'm confused about how Surf's Up is a true story too. My guess is that the core plot is true if you replaced the penguins with people, and they just turned the people into penguins to cash in on the whole "March of the Penguins" thing. (Myself, I'm more looking forward to "Farce of the Penguins," the R-rated spoof narrated by Samuel L. Jackson, but that's going straight to video I'm afraid....)

By the way, this is going to be random, but...Starbuline, you live near San Francisco and your main obession is Russia? I live near SF and I know a girl at my college (which is in SF) who's also really obsessed with Russia. I -think- I read somewhere else that your hair is bleached, and hers isn't, so I'm guessing you're not the same person, but still, how often do you get two people obsessed with Russia in such a close proximity? Maybe you two should meet up.
