Overview: An emperor penguin named Mumble is different from all the other penguins. While unable to sing, a trait necessary in obtaining the traditional "heartsong," Mumble has the ability to tap dance. Unfortunately, this unique ability is not a welcomed trait throughout the community, but that's not going to stop Mumble.

Today I watched the first part of Happy Feet. I walked away at where he's escaping from the seal but before he meets Ramon (possibly around the 34 minute mark).
Instant Comments:
1: It was Gloria that helped with Mumble hatch.
1: And named him!
1: Lose my head!
1: His dad didn't mention the egg part
1: Mumble actually the first in the water.
1: Even without the lovesong, Gloria and Mumble already have a connection
1: Hahaha. "Here he comes, you better move in half an hour."
1: "This kid is so accidentally cool."
2b: "Man, this guy is so accidentally cool."
2b: Smile. "I like big tails, and I can't deny it."
2b: I don't think I ever realized how Mumble's "dance" helps inspire Gloria to complete "Boogie Wonderland." Her song prior to this scene is just the first two verses
1: Oh, I never realized (at least I don't think so) the religious themes (with the older penguins being conservative); I also get some themes reminding me of Footloose
1: He finally reveals that the egg rolled away from him
2b: Smile. He tricks himself into jumping down
2b: "Try the water, Dave" (the way it's spoken makes it a reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey)
2b: Not sure what the old penguin would have reason to keep the old ways. It doesn't do anything to bring back the fish. Like desperate times call for desperate measures.
2b: Smile. What a happy moment when Memphis gets his groove back
1: Lol. Holy flock
2b: I didn't catch Noah say "Holy flock." I turned back to the scene and I can see the statement in the caption, but it's barely audible compared to the helicopter
1: Ah the old guy joins in at last. Nice.
2b: the old guy, I believe his name is Noah, starts beatboxing and getting into it
