Synopsis:

Erik, the son of Mumble, runs away from the Emperor Penguin world after he struggles to keep up with the other penguins. He does not want to dance nor sing. While away from home, he encounters the famous flying penguin, The Mighty Sven. Erik idolizes him for his great flying skills. Meanwhile, Mumble is not only worried for his son but he is faced with a big challenge. A big threat is looming around the Emperor Penguin world and he must seek the help of his friends as soon as possible before it is too late.

Reaction:

This sequel is equally great as the first film. The cool dance moves of Mumble and the sweet golden voice of Gloria are quite entertaining. I should say that those sing and dance scenes keep the audience entertained all throughout the film. If you missed the first film, there is nothing to worry about. There is little connection to both films. The first film is about Mumble as a child, how he lived as an outcast in the Emperor Penguin world and how he redeemed himself as a hero in the end. Now, for the sequel, Mumble is back again with his friends and this time, he has his own family to take care of. Actually, the film has a simple plot. The ending is also predictable. I like the scene in which Erik sang a song for his father when he finally realized that his hero after all is nothing than his own father. I also like the ending in which those elephant seals, the other penguin species, and the krill did the "Happy Feet" dance to help those trapped penguins. It was cool.

Moreover, I like the character of Will and Bill the Krill. They add fun to the story. They are quite spontaneous and I can say that I have some share of good laughs from them. They were able to pull off those funny moments. As usual, Lovelace and Ramon are always a standout. Whenever a certain scene is getting some serious moments, their characters are always present to break the ice down. Anyway, I would recommend this film for the family. Quite entertaining for the kids and even for the adults.
