CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Happy Feet!!

I saw it. I thought it was really good.
This is sad though, and is why I never read christian reviews.

Look at all the negatives and the "Offensive" moral rating. Those people are idiots.

I guess I am an idiot then, because I totally agree with them. I wish I would have researched people's opinions more before I went, to be honest. I took my four-year-old to see it with a birthday party of other three-and four-year-olds. We were aware of the PG rating, which is supposed to be for "scary scenes."
What I got was a bunch of propaganda. My son was bored out of his skull. All around the theater (I looked) kids were either bored and wiggling around or were hiding their faces in their parents laps or shoulders.
The movie made fun of Christians, IMO. I am not a fundamentalist by any stretch, but I had a problem with the leader of the penguins being an unyielding, intolerant worshipper of the penguin god, and would rather the penguin parents send mumbles away because he was "different" and couldn't find a mate. I frankly am tired of the media portraying believers as being so intolerant and hateful.
The dancing was nicely done. I love Savion Glover, and I could tell he was used as a model. But the dancing was mostly only at the end. I mostly didn't like it because it was advertised as a friendly kid movie. Family fun! It was not so much about dancing penguins as about other stuff, and it was stuff I would not have subjected small kids to if I had known.

Cute yes! Good NO!! I enjoyed all the music and dancing. But the plot was so bad I left the theater saying to myself "What huh!?". One penguin amassing army's starting riots because he could dance really didn't float my boat. And also the movie was not even really about pengiuns dancing as much as it was about over fishing and tolerance. There were some major political under tones to the child movie.i saw Happy Feet on Friday! it is SOOOOO cute! it is family friendly & very well made
But the baby penguins were cute
