Happy Feet
This weekend, I ventured out to the movie theatre for the first time in months to take in Happy Feet. While I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, I came away smiling. It was a very fun, cute story about a young emperor penguin named Mumble. As animated musicals go, it was quite good. It was refreshingly not Disney-esque, though the music wasn’t quite as memorable as classic Disney films like the Little Mermaid.
About the only beef I had with the movie was that I had to see it on the IMAX screen since no other screens were showing it in Calgary. In exchange for seeing the movie on a larger screen and with a better sound system, you have to pay a little more (as if movie theatre prices aren’t already high enough) and even worse, you have to suffer through a four minute advertisement for IMAX technology that is boring, repetetive, and more than a little annoying. Oh well. The movie was definitely enjoyable otherwise.
