![]() She couldn't have been fired because they hadn't worked out any sort of contract. Even if they didn't intend to put her in the movie, Her husband claimed she was fired when he was angling for wrongful death suits against anyone and everyone he could think of, and the chance of replacing her income was more important than silly little things like "accuracy". Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.That first part is factually inaccurate. Some material may be inappropriate for young children. PG-13 - Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. ![]() Some material may not be suitable for children. Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions: release, is rated PG for some rude humor and mild peril. You have to applaud a group of filmmakers that can take millions of disparate creatures - plus songs as different as Queen and David Bowie’s “Under Pressure” and the theme from “Rawhide” - and unite them in a rousing, harmonic climax where for one brief Hollywood moment, predators and prey have a common cause. Williams, Azaria, co-star Common and even Pitt and Damon get in on the singing, the tunes woven cleverly into the themes and action. ![]() Pink belts out pop songs old and new, co-writing one number, too. Azaria, one of the vocal masters behind “The Simpsons,” extends his reputation as one of Hollywood’s top voice stars, giving Sven a gurgling Scandinavian accent that’s an absolute hoot. Williams again does double duty in two breathlessly manic roles, voicing both Ramon and Lovelace, the colorful penguin who becomes a key disciple of Sven. The camaraderie of Pitt and Damon, co-stars in the “Ocean’s Eleven” movies, comes through loudly in their goofy banter, making them highlights of an already stellar voice cast. The krill interludes are delightful, and the dark, quiet depths through which they swim make a lovely contrast to the bright world of the penguins above. They discover to their horror that krill are just munchies for other aquatic life, sending Will on a comic quest to move up the food chain and become a predator himself. When Will decides to swim out on his own to see the world beyond the teeming krill swarm, skittish Bill tags along. The best addition of “Happy Feet Two” are Pitt’s Will the Krill and Damon’s Bill the Krill, who are so engaging they deserve their own buddy-comedy spinoff. Once the crisis arrives, the action bogs down a bit, the movie lingering a long while on its penguins-on-the-precipice menace without a whole lot happening.īut with its interspecies collaboration, as birds, elephant seals and even the little krill contribute to a happy ending, the movie is a stirring, if kind of sappy, endorsement for the good that can result when everyone rows together. Miller again shovels on an eco message as a colossal iceberg cast adrift by climate change endangers the entire colony of emperor penguins. Running away with a couple of friends as they chase after Mumble’s buddy Ramon (Williams) on the return to his own penguin colony, Erik meets the amazing “flying penguin” Sven (Hank Azaria), whose can-do attitude makes him the idol of the youngster, to Mumble’s detriment. Young Erik (adorably voiced by Ava Acres) hasn’t got rhythm, you see, an embarrassment for the son of the local lord of the dance. Mumble and his mate, Gloria (pop star Pink, subbing for the late Brittany Murphy, who voiced the character in the original) have a tyke of their own, whose identity issues seem too pat a repetition of those his dad once faced. ![]() Once a freak for his tap-dancing skills in a colony where singing was the supreme talent, emperor penguin Mumble (Wood) is part of the establishment now that hoofing has joined crooning as a prized gift. ![]()
