Synopsis
Happy Feet is set deep in Antarctica. Into the land of Emperor Penguins, where each needs a heart song to attract a soul mate, a penguin is born who cannot sing. Our hero Mumble, son of Memphis and Norma Jean, is the worst singer in the world. However, as it happens, he is a brilliant tap dancer!
The Numbers' Movie Spotlight - Happy Feet
It takes just one look at this year's list of
digitally animated films to realize two things.
One, there have been far too many of them.
And two, far too few of them have been major hits.
Only one such film has reached $200 million, and only
two
others have topped $100 million.
In the end, ticket sales for digitally animated films in
2006 might not top those for
2004, despite having more than three
times as many releases in theaters.
That's not an encouraging sign for the release of
Happy Feet this weekend, but the
penguin pic has a couple of things working in its favor.
First, it's being released at just about the perfect time for a family movie.
Second, it has penguins in it.
We'll take a look at what this is likely to add up to at the box office.
