Seemed like they tried to hard to make this one good. They tried to be more cute with part 2, it seemed like to me. Plus there's so many penguins that it's hard to know who's who.

Who would've predicted that Brad Pitt and Matt Damon would be the stars of a <em>'Happy Feet'</em> sequel?! Those two are the only real positives of <em>'Happy Feet Two'</em>. It's a better film than the original, so it deserves credit for that. However, both productions are just super uninteresting to me. The plot to this one is an improvement, even if it doesn't massively change it up.…

I liked the first movie better than this one. The songs were better too. Eric was really cute but I guess I'm just too biased for not liking him because of how he was with Mumble.
