It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The kids will love it because of couple of sing along songs and a few good laughs; but for adults there is not much in this movie. Same old theme we've seen in many animated movies before. A guy who is different, is lonely, is a misfit and ends up saving his own folks. The pros of the movie are the music and the upbeat songs which can really get you going particularly'the mighty Sven'. Hank Azaria's voice over for Sven is marvelous and is one of his better performances in recent times.It appears that the movie was made in a haste. Many characters such Bill and Will are completely superfluous and uninteresting. If it's supposed to be an animated movie then why aren't the humans animated.

I rented this film before renting the first one to see how they compare and this one is on par with the first with some of its aspects better than others.The characters and backgrounds here are just as realistic as those in the first although it's environmental message isn't quite as valuable or memorable as that in the first. While Elijah Wood and Robin Williams reprise their roles as Mumble, Ramon and Lovelace respectively, Pink replaces Brittany Murphy (who sadly passed away in 2009 aged just 32 - RIP) as Gloria, so it is forgivable that Gloria's singing voice differs significantly here from that in the original but it is instantly recognisable. Her song 'Bridge Of Light' (not your average angsty Pink song) to encourage Erik to find more fish for the colony whilst being trapped by a giant iceberg is beautiful as well as the scene that accompanies it. Although it takes place at night, it is more detailed than the 'Somebody To Love' scene from the original and still has the lovely Northern-Lights style effect illuminating the sky. In addition to 'Bridge Of Light,', the best ones were the opening medley of 'Dance And Shout,' a version of 'SexyBack,' 'Ain't Nobody,' 'Do Your Thing' and 'Rhythm Nation' as well as a cute rap from one of the baby penguins; 'Under Pressure' during the climax; 'We Are The Champions (that's three Queen songs performed in the 'Happy Feet' franchise!)'and the amusing sing-songs of 'Dragostea Din Tei' (AKA the 'Mai a hee' song that everyone was singing back in 2004 - oh, the memories!) by Sven and 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go' and 'Never Gonna Give You Up' by Bill the Krill. Further to the new characters, Erik is adorable but he looks very similar to baby Mumble in the first film and reminds me of a the typical Disney sequel offspring (especially Melody from 'The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea' since she wanted to be a mermaid while Erik wanted to fly like Sven); Sven is a hoot with a distinguishing Swedish accent albeit his involvement with the 'Liar revealed' cliché when he reveals he can fly because he's a puffin, not a penguin; while Will and Bill are comical side characters with a roller-coaster friendship. As for Carmen, she was pretty forgettable apart from being Ramon's love interest but she has a seductive Spanish accent. While Will, Bill and Sven were the funniest characters here, I chuckled when at the beginning of the film Mumble encouraged Erik to dance but Erik refused, Mumble said, "say why" to which Erik replied, "Why." As with other sequels, there are some elements of this one that are similar to those in the first such as Mumble spoiling the opening musical medley and the inclusion of real humans, this time on a boat to save Sven and Lovelace. The choreography is not as prominent as that in the original but Mumble still executes it perfectly.Overall this is a worthy follow-up to 'Happy Feet' with its character and background designs and musical numbers as its redeeming merits. 8/10.

This is a really nice movie - with lovable characters, great voice (Robin Williams is hilarious as Ramon) acting, good animation and music.The story is sweet, and I have to say my 2 yr old boy can't get enough. I've now seen the beginning of the movie at least 5 times, and it's still enjoyable.No idea why it's only got a 5.8 rating here. I'm giving it a 10 to bump it up a bit.If you've got a young boy, I guarantee he'll love it - and you'll be entertained yourself.

I LOVED the original Happy Feet (I gave it score 10/10), so I went to see this sequel with BIG expectation. Simply said, it didn't deliver. The feeling was too different, at a point I even thought that it might had been directed by different people. The songs (which was one the of the many reasons I loved the original Happy Feet) were terrible, the premise neither strong or clear enough, and the first 5 minutes introduction failed to capture the heart of the original Happy Feet. The crustacean part seems to be more of a meaningless filler that has nothing to do with the plot, annoying to say the least. They tried to be funny with it, but the result is far from succeeded. The black and white scenes to picture human-related flashback was badly executed and felt misplaced. I said it but I say it again: the songs were dull and not catchy. The kids were cute but not comparable to little Mumble and little Gloria. The overall atmosphere were gloomy (despite the humorous attempt) and heavy. The first Happy Feet also has gloominess and a certain heaviness to it, but those came much later. And even while in uncertainty, the original Happy Feet managed to stay fun and light. I must say that the sequel's missing the heart of the prequel.
