In the new film, George Miller wanted to imbue even more physical comedy and action, while staying true to the spirit of the first movie. I think this new film, which is about family and community, gives them the opportunity to be able to do that through the characters of the penguins." He explains, "I think what a storyteller wants from every film is to have the audience somehow experience something that they can relate to, so that they can see their own lives through it. It was surprisingly easy to go back there, and so much fun hanging out with them once again."īut George Miller, who directed, produced, and also co-wrote the film with writers Gary Eck, Warren Coleman and Paul Livingston, aimed to do much more than simply return to Antarctica with Mumble, Gloria and the other penguins.

"As you're thinking about them, new stories arise, which is what led to Happy Feet Two.

They became a part of your family," the filmmaker continues. "When you work on a film like that for so long, you actually fall in love with the characters. The idea for the story of Happy Feet Two actually began even as George Miller and his team were putting the finishing touches on the first film. I think one of the reasons why Happy Feet resonated is that it had a kind of nourishment to it, with the time-honored ideas of being true to yourself, being brave and trying to treat the world and yourself with respect." George Miller explains, "I often say that these stories are for the adult in the child and the child in the adult. It also fueled greater efforts for environmental and wildlife conservation and even entered the modern lexicon, with happy feet becoming a synonym for tap dancing, its star Mumble's particular talent. The film went on to earn numerous awards, culminating in the Academy Award® for Best Animated Feature. Happy Feet was an unqualified global hit that appealed to critics and audiences of all ages.
