Home cinema showcases don’t come much more vibrant than the visually brilliant Happy Feet Two. Astonishingly well presented, in crystal clear 1080p, it’s a film that, from the off, rewards any decent investment made in home cinema equipment. 3D, too, has a habit of working best in animated productions, and there’s ample evidence of that on offer here. It’s not quite dancing penguins leaping off the screen, but it’s not too far off.
Not that the film needs expensive hardware, though, to work its charms. Taking its cue from the original, Happy Feet Two once more integrates toe-tapping music, lots of penguins, and no shortage of comedy. It’s the music that lifts the film and gives it its distinction, though. Wonderfully staged, the musical numbers are great fun, and the heart of the family entertainment that the film offers.
The Blu-ray also builds heavily on the family appeal, with some welcome features for younger audience members. The sing-a-long songs encourage you to join in with the musical mayhem, for instance, and are some of the highlights of the supplements. Look, too, at the How To Draw A Penguin guide. Perhaps it’s all a little shy on detailed making of material, but then Happy Feet Two, both the film and the Blu-ray, have been put together with entertaining a younger audience in mind. And whilst the movie itself isn’t the equal of its Oscar-winning forerunner, it’s still good fun, and unlikely to leave you feeling shortchanged.
And it really does look and sound stunning, too. --Jon Foster

The 3D here is amazing, some of the best i've seen. The underwater, space and character animations are full of depth and pop out occasionally. I really was blown away as I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Even the end credits were a treat.
The underwater animations are particularly good as far as to be a bit scary in encapsulating the feeling of dark blue depths full of the unknown. If I was a kid I probably would have been petrified of the whale eating the Krill sequence. I felt like I was being eaten! horrible but great!
The story is average to poor and the songs are terrible. Don't expect the original, moving and wonderful songs from Disney. I hated listening to the majority of them to be honest (and there are many) I only continued watching because of the animation. I used to like Pink...until now. I do think kids would like the songs, however.
I felt the story was quite dark in places too, far from the lightness of Disney or Pixar animations. I quite liked this but kids could feel a bit scared.
The two Krill, voiced by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon saved this film in my opinion. They were brilliant and funny and went on an amazing adventure. I would love to see a film with them as the central characters because they were a heck of a lot more interesting and engaging than most of the penguins.

Whoever these people are giving this film bad reviews are just crazy. I'm 24, my partner is 26 and we both loved it! The music in it fit the scenes they were played in so well and Pink was amazing playing Gloria. Little Erik will have you crying, Ramon and his buddies will have you laughing as always and Sven the Puffin will have you in hysterics! I advise young and old to buy this DVD when it comes out or head to their nearest cinema now to see it. It's worth every penny

Happy Feet Two 3D Blu-ray
A decent film with a good mix of characters. The plot is fairly simple but is dealt with enough detail to make it more than watchable. Animation is top notch. Read more

very moving
Superb in 3D. This was my first 3D purchase I don't know why it is so expensive, perhaps because the ordinary DVD and the Blu-ray are also in the packet. Read more

Great follow on to the 1st movie and Pink does an excellent job too. All characters are excellently voiced and as usual Robin Williams is OTT. Read more
