I love Prince's music!! I just recently learned of Prince from the BET Awards. I would of join this group sooner, but college is buzy. I did on-line research on him and brought some of his CDs after 3121. I love his music!!! I think that this novelty movie with Prince's music will go off the charts with steam.

[...]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").[...]

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.

Watch Moulin Rouge, or listen to the soundtrack - Nicole Kidman is actually a very good singer.
