Review of Happy Feet Two (2011) by Matt N — 31 Mar 2015

Unnecessary Sequel.

Just like the 'Cars' sequel, the 'Happy Feet' sequel doesn't have the charm of the original. Coincidentally both Cars 2 and Happy Feet Two were released in 2011. 'Happy Feet Two' follows the story of 'Erik' who is the son of 'Mumble' and 'Gloria' from Happy Feet. Just like Mumble, Erik seems to be finding difficult to fit into the society. Erik can't dance! While the story may seem very similar, the first-half is quite engaging with the creative story line of interesting characters like the krills and Sven the puffin. The second half is honestly a let-down and the whole penguins stuck by the wall of ice thing didn't work well. Most the things that happen feel unnecessary and extravagant. Thus by the time we reach the climax, the story is all over the place. Erik doesn't get the spotlight he needed to get and even in the end where he shows his talent it was very less impact. Despite its good moments, Happy Feet Two feels like bland unnecessary sequel to a heart-warming film.

RATING: [2/5].
