While very bloody, the violence has a highly stylized look that makes it less horrific. Fantasy and action buffs, however, may get a charge out of the battles between and among men and gods in this weird 3-D riff on Greek mythology. “Immortals” R - Teens 16 and older who want this film to make sense will come away disappointed. The humor includes very mild sexual innuendo. And there’s a sense that Erik’s mom Gloria and the other thousands of Emperor penguins could die of starvation after their colony is cut off. Erik and his dad Mumble are threatened by elephant seals. THE BOTTOM LINE: The 3-D animation will make the breaking up of huge icebergs scary for kids under 7. Meanwhile, a pair of bickering ocean krill, Will (Brad Pitt) and Bill (Matt Damon), jump out of their swarm to see the world, and get caught in the middle of the penguins’ crisis. Mumble, Erik, Ramon and the Adelies need help to rescue them, and it comes in the form of huge elephant seals, human fishermen and others. ![]() There Erik meets the mysterious Sven (Hank Azaria), a penguin who can fly! While Mumble is off searching for Erik, huge chunks of ice break off and isolate the Emperor colony. Impulsively, Erik runs away, following his dad’s pal, the Adelie penguin Ramon (Robin Williams), to the Adelies’ colony. Their hatchling is an adorable pipsqueak named Erik (Ava Acres) who hates dancing. Mumble (voice of Elijah Wood), the young Emperor penguin of the first film, who defied his parents and chose to dance instead of sing, is now a father himself, with Gloria (voiced by the singer Pink, aka Alecia Moore). This time, the animation is in 3-D, which means the scary bits will seem more real to younger kids. In “Happy Feet Two,” it is global warming. Like the original, “Happy Feet Two” mixes the cuteness of penguin characters with a theme about following your dream and not conforming to what others expect.Īnd all this is again laced - rather too heavily - with an environmental threat. Even more ironically, they live in the tropics, as far from Antarctica as anyone can imagine.“Happy Feet Two” PG - Kids 7 and older already familiar with the original “Happy Feet” (PG, 2006) will be able to jump into this sequel with both feet tapping. They must have escaped zoos, or even abandoned their mainland alongside Chinstrap and Little penguins. However, in Happy Feet Two, they are in Antarctica. They live in Adélie-Land instead of living of their own homeland. In Happy Feet Two, they are seen in large numbers, collecting fish to feed the trapped Emperor penguins. When the 3 penguin species are eating fish, Magellanic penguins can also be seen too and also when Mumble is dancing and showing off to the Aliens. ![]() He also tells him to try the water that is real. In Happy Feet, they are first seen when a male Magellanic penguin calls Mumble "Dave". Their salt-excreting gland rids the salt from their bodies. Magellanic Penguins feed in the water, preying on cuttlefish, squid, krill, and other crustaceans, and ingest sea water with their prey. Like other species of penguins, the Magellanic Penguin has very rigid wings used to "fly" or cruise under water. By the time these birds reach about ten years of age, their feet usually become all black. Young birds usually have a blotched pattern on their feet, which fades as they grow up into adulthood. Magellanic Penguins can live up to 25 years in the wild, but as much as 30 years in captivity. Chicks and younger penguins have grey-blue backs, with a more faded grey-blue colour on their chest. The head is black with a broad white border that runs from behind the eye, around the black ear-coverts and chin, and joins at the throat. There are two black bands between the head and the breast, with the lower band shaped in an inverted horseshoe. The males are larger than the females, and the weight of both drops while the parents nurture their young.Īdults have black backs and white abdomens. Magellanic Penguins are medium-sized penguins which grow to be 61–76 cm (24–30 in) tall and weigh between 2.7 kg and 6.5 kg (5.9-14.3 lbs).
