HAPPY FEET is destined to make you sad

Going to see the latest holiday movie at the box office with your family is a fun holiday tradition. This year's chosen movie for your enjoyment is Happy Feet. Have you seen the trailer on TV? Wow! The advertisement says that it will have you "dancing in the isles." What could be more lovable than a warm animated story about happy penguins? But before you pick up the grandchildren and head to the theatre for that wonderful quality-time experience, please read what Michael Medved is saying about the movie. He believes that Hollywood is at it again. He thinks that while they are promising a warm, happy, family friendly experience, they are really delivering a dark, politically correct, anti-religious, film guaranteed to give the kids nightmares. Here is what he says:

"This may be the darkest, most disturbing feature length animated film ever
offered by a major studio. At least 80% of the film’s running time shows its
penguin characters in pain or danger. Scenes of terrifying leopard seals and
killer whales trying to devour the protagonist and his friends are so intense as
to guarantee nightmares; the PG rating is a joke since the film is wildly
inappropriate for young viewers under seven (and their parents). Rather than
sending you out of the theatre with a song in your heart (there’s a big focus in
the script on “heart songs”) the movie produces feelings of fright, discomfort,
even guilt. The title “Happy Feet,” suggesting a feel-good frolic, could hardly
be more deceptive for a deeply ill-considered project that will make most
audience members feel gloomier and more depressed than they did when they
entered the theatre."

Now, is it a crime to put out a dark animated movie just in time for the holidays? Of course not. But when the promotion takes advantage of what we all want to see at Christmas time and then brings us into a theatre under that premise, only to deliver more Hollywood agenda propaganda, we need to rise up and take notice. Hollywood does not play fair anymore. They are all too willing to take advantage of our trust. They don't deserve our trust anymore.
