Wikipedia tells me (because I sure as hell couldn’t remember) that Happy Feet ends with the Penguins convincing the world via dancing to stop overfishing Antarctic waters, which is celebrated with dancing. Then Prince happens. I’m not sure what narrative path a sequel to the musical would take, but the original had one of the highest grosses of 2006 so I’m sure they can render out a few more dickheaded old penguins to teach rhythmic life lessons.
Several of the principle players- namely Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, and director George Miller- are already signed to return to their various roles and positions. One would presume some or all of the other original cast members such as Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Brittany Murphy, and Hugo Weaving are more than likely to reprise their roles too.
I hope to hear the announcement of James Gandolfini voicing Whale any day now.

HAHAHAGHAAAAA HAHA!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HAHA….Delightful.
Boooooo.
As a marine biology student, I found so many things wrong with that movie. For example, the harsh unforgiving waters of the Antarctic Ocean are one of the few unspoiled places left where there is almost no commercial fishing. Due to the high cost of operating in the aria, and the dangerous conditions, animals that live there are not even considered threatened species. Not to mention the fact there that there are no fewer than four international treaties protecting the entire Antarctic region. It is the Arctic in the north that is threatened, not the Antarctic in the south. The Antarctic waters have never been overfished.
More like Solitary WANKER.
What Comment #3 failed to point out was that penguins apparently DO NOT sing and dance. Little known fact really…
So, voicing cartoons is all Elijah Wood is doing post-LOTR? Interesting career nose-dive. In his pre-Frodo days, he worked with Ang Lee. As an actor. Now all directors want from him is his voice. I guess they had it enough of his eyes for a lifetime or somethin.
I can't wait for Happy Feet 4: Flurry Road
that first movie bored me to tears. And IIRC it won an Oscar for Best Animated Feature…ugh
I wish I could give H1N1 to every asshole that paid to see Happy Feet.
All I'm saying is that I've seen a six year old say she wanted to watch World's Deadliest Parasites on the Discovery Channel over Happy Feet.
Happy Feet started pretty good but completely falls apart the longer it goes on – the poor pacing hurts too.
I don't mind messages being put into family movies but at least a movie like Wall-E was more satirical than preachy. Happy Feet was just downright haphazard in this regard.
Happy Feet was eyeball cancer. How dare they make another. I don't care how much it made. I hope the creators are eaten by Shamu.
eyeball cancer haha
