HAPPY FEET, TWO 3-D, PG ( 1 hr & 40 min )

Quickie Review:  Mumble is now a father to a son who looks up to a surrogate father-figure, a penguin who can fly.  But when their colony becomes helplessly trapped, Eric sees for himself what his own father is really capable of doing to save their own kind.

I liked the Tweety Bird and Sylvester, the Cat, short film.

I liked the scenes with the Krills.

And there was a "nod" to Porky Pig at the end of the Ending Credits.

The visuals in this movie, as a whole,  was really stunning  ( and I'm still trying to figure out whether or not those men and women on the boat were all real live actors or just CGIs, or CGI-enhanced live actors ).  But, although the audience liked it, it didn't get a "Hands Clapper" ending.

Mumble is all grown-up this time around.  Unfortunately, so is this movie's target audience.  My short conversation with a theatre employee after the movie sums it all up.

Theatre employee:  "How was the movie?"

Cine-Man:  Ehh ...  I think it missed its target audience.  The adults got it ( i.e. The message ).  But it was lost to the little kids.

Theatre employee:  "It's not too 'Kid Friendly.'"

Cine-Man:  Yeah, it's not "Kid Friendly."

Here is what I didn't like about the movie:  ( And it is something that I wanted to avoid mentioning at first  but finally felt that I would be remiss if I did not mention it since this movie's intended audience are children at an impressionable age. ) The other  "message" in this movie is the not-too-subtle insinuation that in a world of  brown-eyed  beings, only a blue-eyed one can truly make a difference.   Even Will Smith, himself,  showed the world that he was just a sell-out to this "Blue-Eyed" propaganda in his 2004 movie, I, ROBOT.  Hollywood has got to stop feeding us all this B.S.!
