Encyclopedic overview

Happy Feet Two is a 2011 animated jukebox musical comedy film directed and co-written by George Miller. It is the sequel to the 2006 film Happy Feet. Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Hugo Weaving, Magda Szubanski and Anthony LaPaglia reprise their roles from the first film, with Hank Azaria, Alecia Moore, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Sofia Vergara, Common, Ava Acres and Richard Carter joining the cast. In the film, young penguin Erik, the son of Mumble and Gloria, who is reluctant to dance, runs away from home and encounters the Mighty Sven, a tufted puffin. When the penguins are trapped by a giant wall of ice and snow, they must save Antarctica.

An international co-production between the United States and Australia, Happy Feet Two was released in North American theaters on November 18, 2011, and in Australia on December 26. The film received mixed reviews, and underperformed at the box office, grossing $159 million against its $135 million budget. This resulted in the closure of Miller's Dr. D Studios, making this their only animated film.
