Trailer | "Happy Feet Two"

The full trailer for Happy Feet Two has landed, and while I adored the first one, this trailer shows no signs of the original's emotional resonance. But then again, they're trying to attract the kid audience right now, and are going heavy on the slapstick.

Here is the official synopsis:

The sequel to “Happy Feet,” the Academy Award®-winning animated smash hit, “Happy Feet Two” returns audiences to the magnificent landscape of Antarctica in superb 3D.

Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven—a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. 

But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. 

Erik learns of his father’s “guts and grit” as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures—from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals—to put things right.

Happy Feet Two opens November 18.
