Live your life to the fullest. Don't be afraid to be yourself, no matter who you are. These are the heart-warming lessons you learn through the song-and-dance animated movie "Happy Feet." The movie takes place in Antarctica in the home of the emperor penguins. Each penguin sings a "heartsong" to attract a mate, but young Mumble is a terrible singer. Mumble can tap dance though, and he eventually wins over his heartthrob with his clever footwork.

George Miller, the writer-director of "Happy Feet," used sophisticated computer animation to create this visual treat. The voice-overs by Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Robin Williams and Elijah Wood are part of why "Happy Feet" won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. For Penguin lovers, here is a collection of memorable "Happy Feet" quotes.
