Happy Feet - Plot

Set in Antarctica, the musical epic follows the adventures of an emperor penguin called Mumble, who has an unusual gift for dance. Like their real-life counterparts, each penguin has the ability to sing a unique "heart song", a talent that Mumble severely lacks. His preference for tap dance leads to his ostracism from his community and to encounters with other varieties of Antarctic Wildlife.

Due to the faithful representation of the life of emperor penguins, many sequences and plot devices in the film are similar to those in the highly successful French documentary La Marche de l'empereur (aka March of the Penguins), released in 2005.

The song featured in the theatrical teaser trailer is entitled Jump 'n Move by The Brand New Heavies featuring Jamal-ski. A second teaser, featured in IMAX 3D and appearing on the March of the Penguins DVD, stars a baby Mumble dancing to the Stevie Wonder song I Wish.
