As part of the Tots 100 film club we were asked to review Happy Feet Two, carrying on the story about the cute penguins that we all got to love in the first film. Mumble is now a grown penguin and married to Gloria , they have a son Erik, who like his father did, is struggling to fit into the penguin world.

Erik is having a problem learning to dance so decides to run away where he meets all sorts of wonderful characters including a huge flying penguin. In the meantime whilst he is on his adventures his family and friends back home get cut off from the rest of the world because of melting ice. It is up to Erik, Mumble and their new friends to help the penguin colony who are threatened with starvation if they don’t get rescued soon.

Just as in the first film expect lots and lots of lovely happy musical numbers with singing and dancing penguins! There are many well known voices in the film including Elijah Wood, Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Matt Damon and Pink!

Personally I prefer the first film but as a family we loved watching this together, it is funny, sometimes sad but overall a real feel good film and together we rated this 3.5/5 cupcakes. It is definitely one to keep little children amused and the humour will keep older children and adults watching to the end.
