SEEKING

SYNOPSIS
HAPPY FEET encompasses a 2006 film and a 2011 sequel. The first film won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and a Golden Globe Award for the film's original composition, Song of the Heart, by Prince. It follows a penguin named Mumble who can dance but is unable to sing a song enticing enough to attract a mate. He sets off on a life-changing journey across Antarctica. The first film featured Elijah Wood/Savion Glover as Mumble, the late Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, and Nicole Kidman. The original film and its sequel went on to gross more than $847 million worldwide.
