happy feet

April 15th, 2007

i’m having a bit of a movie weekend, and it was rounded off with watching this cute little song and dance penguin film which also has a strong environmental theme. sounds like it is trying to do too many things – and that does hurt the story telling. it does make you smile and chuckle out loud, but the one thing that did it for me was the animation – it really was stunning, the makers went for photographic realism and it works. the water scenes are especially realistic, it’s a shame the dvd extras didn’t go very far into the geeky side of the film making process as it would of been interesting to see what the makers process was.
