This page is NO use to me what so ever ! i need to know ABOUT the characters but theres no link for it ! WASTE OF TIME REALLY HAVING THIS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.223.8 (talk) 20:42, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Why is this an article?! We don't need Happy Feet characters! We need an article on how stupid Happy Feet is, that's it. --69.67.230.174 03:56, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion on the film is NOT encyclopediac. The S 00:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it ever actually proven that the egg getting dropped has anything to do with Mumble's inability to sing as the article states?

It's not "proven" per se, but the theory is presented in the film, and never disputed by any other characters. --Procrastinatrix 15:20, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Why do Mumble and Gloria have their own pages? These articles should be combined with the List of characters in Happy Feet article. --theglockner (talk) 20:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Facts about adult penguin "design"

Factually, Mumble's down retention is erroneous, and even life-threatening. Emperor chicks fledge at about five months, and yearlings have full adult plumage. Mumble would not retain his down for such a long period of time, i.e. the three months he was contained in the marine park. While swimming, the down would have a detrimental drag effect to it, as well as adding unwanted buoyancy. The highly absorbent down would also retain water and dry poorly in the cold air, freezing on the body and increasing the risk of hypothermia. The most likely reason for the fact that Mumble retained his down was perhaps because the "accident" that he had as an egg (which also caused his tap dancing behaviour and his inability to sing decently) may have changed his body development.

(NOTE: I cut this from the main page because it's Suspension of disbelief that allows Mumble to look this way. Factually, it's also erroneous that penguins can tap dance and sing major rock, pop, and disco songs, having no exposure to the world of human beings. It's also factually erroneous that in Ice Age, a mammoth, sloth, and saber-tooth tiger can all speak English, know that a crying human baby might need a new diaper, and that the sloth is actually capable of changing said diaper. It's factually erroneous that The Flintstones would have a television, a car, a telephone, and a baby elephant vacuum cleaner, not to mention the major anachronism of A Flintstone Christmas. But so it goes. That's animated film for you. --204.246.229.174 15:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC))
