Happy Feet Two Australian Premiere With Robin Williams And George Miller At Entertainment Quarter In Sydney

Happy Feet Two Australian Premiere With Robin
Williams And George Miller At Entertainment Quarter In Sydney

Robbin
Williams
The Happy Feet Two Australian
premiere took place at Moore Park, Fox Studios this afternoon, and it was happy
feet galore as celebs did the white carpet, with snowflakes flying around all of
us.
Sydney has gone head over heels
for Mumbles, Erik and Lovelace, and they would just love to see you and your
family see their film when it opens in Australia on 15th December.
Even the Sydney weather got in
the mood for the movie with a bit of an Arctic chill in the air.
The sequel to the animated
smash-hit Happy Feet reunites the Academy Award winners to the magnificent and
super cool landscape of Antarctica, this time in 3D. 
Mumble’s tiny son Erik is
choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik and his friends run away where they soon
meet The Mighty Sven – a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing
with this charismatic new role model but things are about to get worse when the
world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik soon 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.
Mumble's son, Erik, is battling
to realize his talents in the Emperor Penguin world. Meanwhile, Mumble and his
family and friends discover a new threat their home - one that will take
everyone working together to save them.
Other than Robin Williams the
film also features the voices of Elijah Wood, Hank Azaria, Alecia Moore (P!nk),
Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sofia Vergara, Common, Hugo Weaving, Richard Carter,
Magda Szubanski, Anthony LaPaglia and Benjamin “Lil P-Nut” Flores Jr. We think
Williams genius saves this film from being pretty average - keeping in mind we
know how awesome Williams and Miller can be when they are at their best.
Robin Williams told Music News
Australia on the difference between voice acting and traditional acting: "It
feels free". On feelings about media and the style of movie "Well, it's very
different from One Hour Photo", which got a great reaction from the press pack -
especially the snappers.
Australian producer, director
and writer George Miller said of the film when asked about creative and
financial success: "It was so rewarding. The film should do really well and its
in 3D this time also". When complimented on his one of one interviews with
today's press and asked about if he would even be open to a Foxtel - StudioTV
'Dinner With Five' concept where producers, directors and actors all sit down
for dinner and discuss the business, taped for television he said "I haven't
actually seen that but it sounds interesting". Further quizzed Miller said: "I
guess I would be open to that".
Miller said getting so many big
names on board was "a great privilege and very humbling".
The Mad Max director said he
already had the story for Happy Feet Two in his mind before they had finished
the first one and it was an easy decision to jump straight into the
sequel.
"When you work on a film like
Happy Feet, the characters become part of you, they're like imaginary friends in
your head, they're like family," he said.
"And it's such a rich world to
work in, it was very,very easy to get into it."
The buzz and excitement for
Williams was so much today that almost a dozen TV media asked Williams for
autographs, and he happily obliged, so we joined in the fun two. Yes, media are
also fans (not just critics).
Some of the best reviews like
the one done by Richard Corliss reads"....Miller is not content to duplicate the
pleasures of his first penguin film; he dares to go bigger, deeper, higher —
happier."
Don't forget it's 3D, so if you
have a foot fetish or whatever, you're in for a wonderful treat. Love the close
ups of beaks too.
Round up the kids of all ages
and step on down to Happy Feet Two. 4.5 out of of 5 paws (because we're huge
Robin Williams and George Miller fans). Well organised from our friends at
Village Roadshow too.
