Critics Consensus

Visually dazzling, with a thoughtful storyline and catchy musical numbers, Happy Feet marks a successful animated debut from the makers of Babe.

Miller ensures that a conceit - dancing penguins! - that might have seemed best left to the jokey attachments that clog up email inboxes is supple enough to carry a sardonic parable about the hypocrisy of Western consumers.

You should see Happy Feet -- not only because it's stupendous, but also because it features the best dancing you'll see on the screen this year.

Clássico, e trás uma mensagem importantíssima sobre preservação das geleiras e dos hábitats, uma animação linda que chega até mesclar com atores reais. 7.5

Desde una perspectiva evaluativa, Happy Feet representa una apuesta creativa arriesgada, que priorizó transmitir un mensaje con conciencia social por encima de seguir fórmulas comerciales tradicionales. Aunque esta decisión limitó su impacto en ciertos sectores de la audiencia, fortaleció su valoración crítica y le permitió diferenciarse dentro del género de animación.

This movie is decent, of course. It's not perfect, but if you’re bored or looking for a movie to watch, I’d recommend it. It has a pretty good story, but not something too crazy.
