Lord of the Rings star Elijah Wood tells Sci Fi Wire about Happy Feet, a new animated movie from director George Miller (Mad Max, Babe): “Wood describes Mumble as a penguin who can’t sing. ‘Basically, penguins in life and in the film can sing,’ he said. ‘We’ve used that idea, and so each penguin has [his or her] own voice and their own what we call heartsong. That’s how they meet their mates. I can’t sing, so I’m seen as an outcast. But I can dance, and that’s why it’s called Happy Feet. It’s about … being an individual and going out on his own and, at the same time, learning there’s a fish shortage and trying to figure out why there’s a fish shortage. Ultimately, it’s about being accepted for who I am. It’s a beautiful story, and I think people will love it. It was a lot of fun to do.'” Happy Feet, also featuring the voices of Brittany Murphy and Robin Williams, dances into theaters in 2006.
