Not so Happy Feet two..

But too many feet spoils the movie..

The trailer shows dancing baby Emperor Penguins, a flying "penguin", an angry walrus and a runaway krill, and that interest Anson. At the last 30 minutes, Anson's interest started to wane.

Maybe for a three year old, all the moving and dancing was something he could relate to, other than that, it was all talk.

The problem with this movie was that there were too many characters that even as an adult, you tend to get lost in the whole scheme of things.

The main plot of the movie falls on the relationship between Mumble, now a father, and his son Erik. Problem with Erik is that he is trying to find his voice or his dancing feet. Erik runs away, Mumble finds him, returns to Emperor Penguin nest only to find that the Emperor Penguin nest is now trapped by moving icebergs.

From there onwards, the movie is all about the rescue effort of the Emperor Penguin.

The movie also wanted to highlight how the little things in life connect up to result in earth shattering event, but for young children, it is extremely hard for them to connect the dots.

A movie for children should be straightforward. If the parents don't get it, neither will their children.
