Burbank, CA, January 19, 2007 – Get
ready for one of the best animated films of the year when Happy
Feet arrives on DVD in a 2-disc set this March 27 from Warner

Will Hunting, Man of the Year), Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman (The
Hours, Moulin Rouge), Elijah Wood (Bobby, The Lord of the
Rings trilogy), Hugh Jackman (The Prestige, X-Men trilogy)
and Brittany Murphy (Sin City, Just Married).
Set deep in the heart of Antarctica, in a
land ruled by singing emperor penguins,
Happy Feet follows the
adventures of tap dancing Mumble and his struggle to carry a tune. Cast
out of the community for his strange dancing ways and alone for the
first time in his life, Mumble sets out in search of his “heart song,”
which will ultimately lead him to his true love. Along his journey,
Mumble meets the Adelies who immediately embrace his cool moves.
Together with his new friends, Mumble encounters some epic adventures
and soon finds that being true to himself can make all the difference in
the world.

Feature Film and Best Original Song (“The Song of the Heart”). The film

SYNOPSIS
“...high steppin’ it all the way to the Academy Awards.”
- Pete Hammond, MAXIM
In the great nation of Emperor Penguins,
deep in Antarctica, you're nobody unless you can sing - which is
unfortunate for Mumble (ELIJAH WOOD), who is the worst singer in the
world. He is born dancing to his own tune...tap dancing. As fate would
have it, his one friend, Gloria (BRITTANY MURPHY), happens to be the
best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment
they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity- hoppity" ways.
Away from home for the first time, Mumble
meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins - the Adelie Amigos.
Led by Ramon (ROBIN WILLIAMS), the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble's
cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land,
Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru (also voiced by ROBIN
WILLIAMS), a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of
life's questions for the price of a pebble.
Together with Lovelace and the Amigos,
Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters,
proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference
in the world.
