HAPPY FEET TWO
4 out of 5 stars

i’m baaaaaaaack!!! :P (sorry, i got distracted with my card making project AND on top of that, i’ve decided to take on the netflix top 100 challenge. so it was DISTRACTIONS GALORE the past two weeks!)

so, unto this movie review… happy feet two is all about erik (who’s the son of mumble and gloria from the original movie) and his infactuation with the mighty scandavian SVEN. (voiced by hank azaria) ramon (voiced by robin williams…with a spanish accent! ole!) randomly decides to go back to woo his own penguin kind, and the kids (erik and his friends) follow him there. mumble (voiced by elijah wood) worries about his little offspring, so he follows him and finds him listening to the preachings of lovelace (voiced by robin williams…again) and the mighty sven. (howdy-doody!) while they’re preaching about how sven can fly and how the “aliens” (humans) saved them, mumble tries to bring erik and his friends back home. along the way, they encounter a big-ass elephant seal named bryan AND find out that emperor penguinland is encased by icebergs…thanks to a lovely thing called global warming. while all this is happening on the surface, we’re introduced to will and bill the krill(s). (voiced by brad pitt and matt damon respectively)

basically, will and bill are like the shrimp equivalent to that lil’ annoying squirrel from ice age. (but this time, they’re really funny and could have made it on their own in their own movie) it’s pretty much the same-old song and dance from the first movie, but this one…with more pop tunes. (and a random operatic song from erik re: his father…LOL) p!ink does a great job replacing brittany murphy (RIP), who died back in 09?  plus, the baby penguins' voices are soooo adorablezzz.  i thought it was super cute, but that’s just me… who doesn’t have a soft spot for singing and dancing penguins?! COMEON!!! :P
