Caught Happy Feet yesterday and i must say it was an adventure to uh...one of the poles? heres my review of the show.
Happy Feet is an Australian animated feature, which give viewers an insight of a penguins life. This animation was supposedly slated for a real life show. However, to train thousands of penguins aitn an easy task and after catching LOTR, the director/producer then decided to use animations.
the show makes clever use of technology to create beautifully rendered enviorments and stunning visual FX and sound FX. the avalanches created literally shook the cinema i was in. although the show is largely animated, it cleverly uses real humans as 'supporting actors'. unfortunately, the show is marred with a weak storyline and of course, the message to FISH LESS. riiiight.....
Happy Feet pales in comparison in terms of story line when compared to other animations like Toy Story and Cars where they too take a look at life from another subject's perspective. however, in terms of animation, this show rocks its socks.
so, if you are a sucker for cuuuuttteee lil furry beings and beautifual auroras, this show is for you. however, if ur a hardcore uncompassionate popcorn popper, this show aint for you...perhaps only bond could save you.
