[...]Hi Harry - Long time reader, first time writer. There was a screening in Atlanta today of about 20 minutes from 'Happy Feet', and I was lucky enough to see it. A rep from Warner Brothers introduced the footage, which was shown in video form, saying that it was rough in spots, and with a temp track, but that otherwise what we would be seeing would be what will be in the finished film. He mentioned that Savion Glover had done all of the tap dance sequences by motion capture, and that he was currently in a studio filming more for the end credits, which included a new song by Prince ("Heart Song").[...] http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=118897 Miller's Happy Feet on a grand scale Tuesday Aug 1 16:40 AEST George Miller's new film is shaping as one of Australia's biggest ever movie productions, using more technological power than the Pentagon. Selected media and industry types were treated to a 15-minute sneak peek of Miller's new animated film, Happy Feet, about a bunch of singing and dancing Emperor penguins. The multi-million dollar film is a co-production between Village Roadshow Productions and Warner Bros Pictures and has been several years in the making. "We are using more computer power than the Pentagon uses," Miller said of the animation which will hit screens in Australia on Boxing Day. "We decided a long time ago to make the film as photo-real as possible. We sent two expeditions down to Antarctica to research and take photographs to capture the landscape and light." Happy Feet boasts a strong cast of Hollywood heavyweights, including Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, and Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Other Australians voicing characters include Magda Szubanski and Hugo Weaving. The film tells the story of a group of penguins who can all sing, except Mumble (Wood), who can't sing a note but can tap dance. "At the heart, it is a story about belonging," said Miller, whose other film credits include Babe, Dead Calm and Mad Max. "Happy Feet is a film unlike any other anyone has ever seen before." Australian visual effects company Animal Logic has been working on the film at Sydney's Fox Studios. Roadshow managing director Joel Pearlman said Happy Feet would be one of the biggest films to be released this Christmas. "This is without a doubt one of the most important films we have ever released," said Pearlman. Happy Feet, which also features the singing voices of Pink and KD Lang, will be released in the US in November. Miller said pop star Prince also was penning a song for the film. "Prince saw the film the other day and was very excited to write something for us," he said. aussie aussie aussie oy oy oy. night all lol see u on the morrow.xx " the embassy shut to keep the fools out " - as above, so below. |

really cool! can't imagine what that song's gonna be like though... pull your cell phone out and call your next of kin; we're about to get funky |

He is not going to be running around in his underwear anymore. I really think he is living in L.A. and hanging around all the celbs to get into the movies. Could be a good move for him as these kiddie movies are the only pictures selling tickets these days. [Edited 9/15/06 14:23pm] |

This thread is proof that some will find fault with anything Prince does. First, animation is not just for kids. Second, not only is this film a quality project but it will surely be a classic. This is a great gig for, not just Prince, but anyone...if they can get it.

I hope he takes it to the next level and is cast in an upcoming film/animation of theirs. 
im gonna admit i havent really been jazzed about prince of late but i said it was a cool thing for him to be doing... and while i am jonzing to see the film myself (before prince's involvement) calling it a potential classic seems a bit of a stretch...IMHO.

If it was the whole soundtrack, I'd agree with you, but everyone contributes a song or two to soundtracks at some point. At least it's a high-quality project, not like Showgirls. This line makes me think of Family Name: "This is without a doubt one of the most important films we have ever released," said Pearlman. Thinking now that he was singing about someone specifically at WB  |

People seem to be upset that he's doing stuff for kids. If you remember, back in 1996 (before the tragic death of his son), Prince had plans to put out a children's book, and an album of songs for kids. He went ahead with the Muppet Show appearance. Why is it so unbelievable that a man his age would do something for children? Many of his fans have children, and he seems to have a real heart for kids. [/b] The Muppet Show was more for adults, imo... It's not even so much that it's for a children's film, or even that it's an animated film (which I detest), it's the fact that between this, performing in Vegas, AI & the Superbowl, he's teetering awfully close to becoming some sort of mainstream parody of himself. (Popular does not equal good.) Elton John used to be funky and rock the crazy outfits, etc. now you only hear his songs on easy listening or classic rock stations. I just don't want Prince to end up marginalized like that--he has enough problems getting air play as it is...  The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat.

anon said: Haven't heard the Happy Feet track but if it's good, it will probably get the air play that you seem to be concerned about, so you should be happy.
Actually I couldn't care less if Prince gets airplay. (I don't even listen to the radio anymore.) It just seems to me that he is sometimes concerned with it, as are a lot of other fans. Imo, the 'general public' or 'mainstream' have no idea he's been putting out albums on a regular basis for the last however many years, etc. and so when he pops up on cheesy shows like AI or in Las Vegas (regardless of whether the concert was cheesy, Vegas has a certain image assoicated with it) it seems that he's desperate to become relevant/popular, but for him to become 'popular' by mainstream standards his music will probably have to suck (like most 'popular' music today.) Admittedly, I'm not really into 'pop culture' I'm sort of a snob that way; so it drives me insane when people equate popularity with good/talent. Often it seems that the two are tangentially related, if that. Just because an animated movie with a bunch of so-so actors doing voice overs and singing (poorly from what I can hear) is going to be popular doesn't mean it's good. (I understand the animation technique is groundbreaking but again that doesn't necessitate a 'good' film.) I saw Babe and found it mildly amusing (perhaps b/c I grew up on a farm?), I hated Moulin Rouge, I can't stand Nicole Kidman, & I detest animated films...so I won't see this movie, and if I have to buy a CD full of crappy remakes or 'feel good' songs to get the rumored new Prince song I'll probably do it, but I'll be slightly annoyed...

And even if it isn't...PHOTO REALISM like WHOA. They are not a traditional animation company, they're responsible for FX in Matrix, Flying Daggers, Hero, Moulin Rouge many more... So realism is their specialty, but they've managed to combine the 2 worlds really well. This will be a first of its kind. Oh definitely. Like I sad, even if it isn't a smash hit, it'll still get recognized as a technical marvel. I'd really like to see more movies like this from this company, to me it looks like if ILM & Dreamworks had a child, this is the kind of movie it would make. It'll be all the OOH and AAH of the Final Fantasy movie without that annoying little thing called Uncanny Valley to screw it up. " |

If it was the whole soundtrack, I'd agree with you, but everyone contributes a song or two to soundtracks at some point. At least it's a high-quality project, not like Showgirls. This line makes me think of Family Name: "This is without a doubt one of the most important films we have ever released," said Pearlman. Thinking now that he was singing about someone specifically at WB Joel doesn't work for WB - he works for Village Roadshow, an Australian Film Distributor and producer which has a partnership contractual relationship with WB. Unfortunately Joel's never had any contact with P, tho he's a big fan (not as big as me, his younger bro...) [Edited 9/17/06 4:35am] "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

"Poor" can be a matter of taste, but I'm just curious... What parts do you find poor? and, poor in what way? Aesthetically and technologically, I would say it's pretty superior...perhaps it's the realism that bothers you, though. And, as far as the humor goes, I'm still laughing...but maybe you don't find it funny. What are the "(lotsa parts)"? Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify |

I'm all late with this thread. This is great news. I hope the song is great. I haven't read the whole thread but if no one mentioned it before here's a thought: If the song is that good, Prince may get nominated for another Oscar.

People seem to be upset that he's doing stuff for kids. If you remember, back in 1996 (before the tragic death of his son), Prince had plans to put out a children's book, and an album of songs for kids. He went ahead with the Muppet Show appearance. Why is it so unbelievable that a man his age would do something for children? Many of his fans have children, and he seems to have a real heart for kids.

[...]Hi Harry - Long time reader, first time writer. There was a screening in Atlanta today of about 20 minutes from 'Happy Feet', and I was lucky enough to see it. A rep from Warner Brothers introduced the footage, which was shown in video form, saying that it was rough in spots, and with a temp track, but that otherwise what we would be seeing would be what will be in the finished film. He mentioned that Savion Glover had done all of the tap dance sequences by motion capture, and that he was currently in a studio filming more for the end credits, which included a new song by Prince ("Heart Song").[...] http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=118897 Miller's Happy Feet on a grand scale Tuesday Aug 1 16:40 AEST George Miller's new film is shaping as one of Australia's biggest ever movie productions, using more technological power than the Pentagon. Selected media and industry types were treated to a 15-minute sneak peek of Miller's new animated film, Happy Feet, about a bunch of singing and dancing Emperor penguins. The multi-million dollar film is a co-production between Village Roadshow Productions and Warner Bros Pictures and has been several years in the making. "We are using more computer power than the Pentagon uses," Miller said of the animation which will hit screens in Australia on Boxing Day. "We decided a long time ago to make the film as photo-real as possible. We sent two expeditions down to Antarctica to research and take photographs to capture the landscape and light." Happy Feet boasts a strong cast of Hollywood heavyweights, including Robin Williams, Elijah Wood, Brittany Murphy, and Australians Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Other Australians voicing characters include Magda Szubanski and Hugo Weaving. The film tells the story of a group of penguins who can all sing, except Mumble (Wood), who can't sing a note but can tap dance. "At the heart, it is a story about belonging," said Miller, whose other film credits include Babe, Dead Calm and Mad Max. "Happy Feet is a film unlike any other anyone has ever seen before." Australian visual effects company Animal Logic has been working on the film at Sydney's Fox Studios. Roadshow managing director Joel Pearlman said Happy Feet would be one of the biggest films to be released this Christmas. "This is without a doubt one of the most important films we have ever released," said Pearlman. Happy Feet, which also features the singing voices of Pink and KD Lang, will be released in the US in November. Miller said pop star Prince also was penning a song for the film. "Prince saw the film the other day and was very excited to write something for us," he said. |
