The marketing campaign behind this was really slick. The previews kept people like me at bay and enticed unsuspecting masses. It was only a matter of time before the inconvenient truth was learned and the rest of us said, "Uh, two for Happy Feet, the movie that destroys childhood ignorance?"
My preview would have looked a little bit different:
"From the director of Mad Max and The Road Warrior...an animated musical that will make you feel bad...Featuring the voices of Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman in a limited amount of screentime, and Robin Williams at his most tolerable."
[cue E.S. Posthumus' "Pompeii" to a montage of penguins fleeing realistic animal predators]
"Happy Feet."
[pull back on Earth with three dirge-like percussive beats]
"This Thanksgiving, embrace guilt."
