"Early screenings and reviews of Happy Feet have been sensational, proving that this is a film the whole family will enjoy throughout the entire holiday season," said Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures. "We are thrilled to be able to bring it to theatergoers in both conventional and IMAX theaters this weekend, to kick off the holidays."
"The lovable characters and exhilarating soundtrack of Happy Feet look and sound spectacular in IMAX," added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "We are thrilled that the expanding network of IMAX theatres will enable more moviegoers to have the opportunity to experience Happy Feet in a very special way this holiday season."
Happy Feet is set In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, Deep in Antarctica, you're nobody unless you can sing-which is unfortunate for Mumble, who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune...tap dancing. Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, but his dad, Memphis, says "it just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. Leaving home, Mumble meets the Adelie Amigos, led by Ramon. The Adelies invite Mumble to party with them in Adelie Land, where Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
