So Alex wanted to see Happy Feet - it came the other day from Netflix. Some penguins sing sexy songs to each other then the chicks are born, 1 dances, the rest sing. Next thing - the dancing penguin is in the ocean trying not to get eaten. Dancing penguin somehow ends up in the zoo, then he dances. The people let him go. He goes home - he dances, all the penguins dance. The humans show up - fish for all. More stupid songs and dancing.
How did this movie win an Oscar - I normally love animated films, but this one was horrible.
Alex wouldn't even stay in the room to watch it
Blah!
