Happy Feet Two

I’ll check this out when LoveFilm releases it. It does look rubbish though :slight_smile:

I didn’t really like the first film aside from it’s good first half. Also, I don’t understand why it’s “Two” instead of “2”.

^To sound clever, probably 8D

Probably. It sounds like a “hip” way to put the “2” in the title.

It’s not as bad as Hoodwinked Too!

That’s ture. 8D It’s just as bad as Dreamworks working numbers into their sequels.

I like it when they give a sequel or prequel a different name all together. Like, I hope DW name the HTTYD sequel after one of the book titles, like How To Speak Dragonese, rather than just lumping “2” on the end of the title.

Agreed. All the titles Dreamworks gave for their sequels sounded stupid.

Do you think Happy Feet Two has any chance of being nominated for the Animated Feature Oscar? :slight_smile:

Most likely not. I still don’t think the first one deserved “Best Animated Feature”.

I really liked this movie. IMO i thought it was better than the first one and i have no idea why it got so many bad reviews!

also, i just LOVE this song: youtube.com/watch?v=Aoxlp3z7 … st_related

I agree with this statement.

Yep. The first one if I’m correct was a heavily motion-captured movie. I don’t hate mo-cap, but I don’t think it’s animation.

I dont think so.
While it was a good way to kill a few hours, it’s something I wont watch all the way thru again. If I do watch it again, it would be all the Sven parts, Gloria singing Bridge of Light, and the ending.
I did’nt have a huge interest in it, but I wanted to take a special needs friend of mine to see a movie and that was the one she choose.

I personally am not a fan of mo-cap either.

It’s not the mocap I have issues with; personally I think it’s done well in the Happy Feet films, and I think that it is animation as long as it’s used only as a tool to aid the look of the film rather than to just avoid animating the characters by frame. The issue with the Happy Feet film(s, I haven’t seen the new one but i’ll take a wild stab and put it in there) is that they’re so preachy and contrived in such a patronising manner. And then there’s other annoying things, like, the characters are a pain in the backside, and oh, I can’t sing, I’m an outcast! Because I really had no sympathy towards Mumble. At all.
The rest of the film is cliche after cliche, which doesn’t always equate to a bad film, but in this case, the story went nowhere. The singing and dancing thing I’ve always found to be a bit creepy and weird anyway, but, looking at the trailers for Happy Feet Too, it looks even worse than it did in the first film. Like, Alvin level annoying. :angry:

Yep. I thought that Happy Feet 2 looked dreadful looking at the commercials. I don’t see it as Alvin annoying though but it’s close.

Which makes me think, was anybody really asking for singing animals? Really?! What with Alvin and Happy Feet, enough to want to smash a TV screen :angry:

True. I’ve seen commercials for Chipwrecked hundreds of times lately and it’s getting quite annoying. I just hope they don’t pursue a fourth film down the road and just end the series here. But you’ll know what they’ll do.

There is a scene in the movie that points out (a true fact) that if a penguin is found caught in an oil spill, they have to get it cleaned, and then they make special sweaters (fact: penguins lose their insulation in their feathers if caught in an oil spill). I read about it once during Eco-Geo class in my junior year.
