Prince pens song for Happy Feet

News via:
Sci-Fi Wire

An exerpt reveals some of the other musical talent (I use that word loosely) that are taking part in the film.

Rock star Prince has written an original song for the upcoming animated musical movie Happy Feet, Warner Brothers announced at a preview screening of movie
footage in West Hollywood, Calif., on Sept. 19. The film will also feature the singing debut of voice star Brittany Murphy and a Spanish-language version
of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," sung by Robin Williams. The movie will also feature music by Yolanda Adams, Fantasia Barrino, Gia Farrell, Chrissie Hynde,
Patti LaBelle, k.d. lang, Jason Mraz and Pink, as well as the motion-captured tap dancing of Savion Glover.


If you want a plot summary all you need do is:



Happy Feet stars the voice of Elijah Wood as Mumble, an emperor penguin who is unable to master the "heart song" his species must sing to attract a mate.
But he can tapdance and manages to find similarly fleet-footed friends among the rival Adelie clan of penguins.

Warner screened about 17 minutes of the movie, featuring hundreds of singing and dancing penguins, to audiences of invited guests and their children. Afterwards,
guests were treated to penguin-shaped cookies and got a chance to get a photo with real penguins. Happy Feet, directed by George Miller (Babe), also stars
Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Hugo Weaving and opens Nov. 17. —


A movie about tapdancing Penguins. Next year we have a movie coming out about Penguin surfers. I blame Madagascar for this. But, its a movie about Tapdancing so I mean I'll be charging towards the movie theater on Nov. 17 to see this so hard you'd just better stay out of my way lest ye die.
