Puffin happy feet7/28/2023 Meanwhile upon discovering his reason for existence is to become lunch, Will the Krill becomes determined to move up the food chain and takes off, leaving his best buddy Bill alone and terrified (Pitt and Damon are not unlike their cocky/naive selves of "Oceans 11," except as microscopic sea bait who pun). But even Mumble is stymied when they return home to find that in their absence all the Emperor penguins, including wife Gloria (voice of Pink), have been trapped by shifting glaciers. When Erik and then Mumble arrive, Mumble becomes second fiddle to the inspirational Sven, but along the road home, he helps save the father, Bryan the Beachmaster (voice of Richard Carter), of two baby elephant seals when Bryan plummets into a crevice caused by warming temps. The little mascots are happy until Sven witnesses the crew eating chicken and, horrified, they depart. Sven is actually a puffin rescued by 'aliens' (humans) along with Adelie penguin Lovelace (voice of Robin Williams) from an oil spill. It's not very good as a film, but there's no denying its stunning animation, particularly in the service of its two daffiest new characters Will (voice of Brad Pitt) and Bill the Krill (voice of Matt Damon), and its sheer lunacy can be invigorating. Its global warming theme leads to some dark places which may be scary for the very young and it tries to do many things. The film surges and sputters, driven by hip hop and opera, but crashing to a dead halt with a sappy ballad ('Bridge of Light'). What were these people smoking? Where "Happy Feet" was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with penguins, the long-in-coming sequel is absolutely balmy, cacophonous chaos.
