Introduction:

Cute penguins, good at singing and dancing

All emperor penguins are born singers. The little penguin Bobo is an exception. He is a born dancer - a tap dancer! This abnormal behavior caused Bobo to be expelled from the emperor penguin territory, wandering alone in the vast cold world. Accompanied by a group of Adelaide penguin friends and a rock-and-roll penguin master named Ailas, Bobo embarks on a long journey that ultimately proves one thing: stay true to yourself and you can make a difference in the world!

In the snow-covered Antarctic, there are thousands of cute penguins living. Memphis (Hugh Jackman) and Norma Jean (Nicole Kidman) are one of the many penguins. Like all penguin lovers, they gradually came together through mutual courtship songs. Although there is endless happiness and joy in married life, when they have their own love child, endless troubles also follow: the seemingly lively and cute child Mob (Elijah Wood) He is an outlier who is not welcomed by his companions. Seeing that other children of the same age are all singing loudly and expressing their feelings to each other, poor Mobo is clumsy and unable to sing a single beautiful song. It almost ruined his marriage to his childhood sweetheart Gloria (Brittany Murphy). Fortunately, Raymond (Robin Williams), the leader of the Penguin team, gave Mob the right inspiration at the critical moment - it turned out that although God did not give him the talent to sing, he gave him the ability to be a talented dancer. !When Mobot wiped out a large ice flower with his cheerful tap dance, the entire ice and snow world left countless happy footprints amidst the overwhelming singing and dancing of the penguins...

Australians "near the water"< /p>

Obviously, Australia has a huge advantage over the United States in its distance from Antarctica. It seems that director George Miller, who directed the film, also took a fancy to this, so he favored Australians in the choice of the film's voice actors. One of the major benefits of Warner, the producer, choosing Miller to direct the film is probably because the powerful Australian Legion will come to help out for the sake of fellow countrymen. Nowadays, Hugh Jackman, who is famous in the world of film circles with his wonderful roles such as "The Wolverine", had the resounding title of "Australia's Best Opera Actor" back then, so it is natural for him to "play" the penguin father who can sing and dance well. . However, he often complained in the recording room because dubbing characters in cartoons is not an easy task. Although he does not need to sing until his throat smokes like in "Oklahoma", Penguin's voice is different from that of a standard male voice. There is a huge difference in the treble. Therefore, it takes a lot of "Wolverine" energy to hold his throat and pretend to be innocent. Nicole Kidman, who can be called a role model for Australian women, is quite excited about the experience of "playing" a penguin mother after getting married again. And with her successful singing experience in "Moulin Rouge", she will naturally not disappoint movie fans, especially the elders in her hometown. Hugo Weaving, who has lived in Australia for thirty years, stepped into the recording studio to join in the fun after leading "V for Vendetta" to blow up London. Vivian only has a small cameo role in this film. Even after taking off his mask, he has no chance to show his face. For the past few years, the audience room has only been able to see him with his ears.

In addition, the cast of voice actors from the United States, the hometown of Hollywood, is also particularly eye-catching. Robin Williams plays three roles in this film with his unique skills of thousands of faces and thousands of throats. In addition to the penguin leader Ray Outside Mongolia, there is also an Argentine penguin and a little sea lion basking in the sun. As you can imagine, his appearance in the recording studio is no different from his wonderful performance in "My Fair Daddy". As for the protagonist in the film - the penguin boy Mob who can't sing, Miller hired Elijah Wood, the "hobbit" who also can't sing, to dub him. Mob is the core character of the whole film. He doesn't have a good singing voice, but he has a little head full of personality. Sometimes he looks like a little thorn, sometimes he looks like a lovable little pitiful person - it's a pity that there are so few dubbings. The experienced Wood has been in the studio four times and suffered. Fortunately, his courage to not be afraid of difficulties is quite similar to Mobber, which makes the final appearance of the little penguin character to the audience more vivid.

Strong Warner, Ice and Snow

2006, a year of extremely fierce competition in the Hollywood animation market, is about to pass. However, the wealthy Warner company will still not give up any opportunity to show its strong strength and bold courage - the application of IMAX 3D movie technology in this film fully reflects this. The successful application of IMAX 3D technology in movies has brought more impressive audio-visual effects to the emerging art of movies, but the huge investment is also staggering. In order to establish its strong position as early as possible in the turbulent animation market, Warner Corporation, Bold "bloodletting" is of course not a problem. As an animated film, all the shots of this film are virtual images produced by digital technology. Therefore, it is impossible to capture the picture directly from two angles during shooting. The advancement of IMAX 3D DMR technology lies in its ability to The original 2D film negatives are converted into 3D format, and then IMAX DMR (Digital Remastering) technology is used to convert ordinary 3D images into IMAX 3D format, so that the already three-dimensional picture can be viewed under polarized glasses. Under the action, it can better reflect the full three-dimensional sense. In addition, this film is Warner's fourth IMAX 3D animated film after "The Polar Express", "Super 3D Racer" and "Don't Mess with the Ants". Although the first three films failed to set off the expected craze in the Hollywood animation market as promised , however, IMAX President Richard Gaffer is still confident about the prospects: "Happy Feet is definitely a blockbuster this winter, and its IMAX 3D version will detonate all audiences at the same time as the ordinary 2D version. Big, but I strongly recommend that young viewers choose the former, because it is really spectacular!"

The desolate polar regions are easy to make money

A "Diary of the Emperor Penguin"" The success of "Using a small way to make a big difference" instantly aroused mankind's interest in "bravely creating" Antarctica. There was the remake experience of the action movie "Antarctic Adventure" before, and then the animated film "Happy Feet" once again told the heartwarming story of determination and family feeling with the "owner" of Antarctica - penguins. Recall that the first time humans encountered penguins on the big screen dates back to 1919, although Ernest Shackleton only showed the audience a vague glimpse of a group of penguins in "Antarctica" impression, but in the 87 years since, those waddling, tuxedo-clad penguins are no longer a rare sight in movie lenses. The 62 movies about penguins in the history of film have portrayed this forgotten corner of Antarctica with vitality and fun, and also made the cold "Queen Maude Land" and "Enderby Land" on the map become fascinating. . In 2005, when the Frenchman Jean-Luc Jacques threw the tear gas bomb "Diaries of the Penguins" into Hollywood, the shrewd producer Bill Miller just woke up from a dream: Hollywood has had enough of flying in the sky, and running underground Yes, they swim in the water, but they neglected their companion penguins who live in the southernmost part of the earth. The French, who have always been gentle and romantic, actually walked ahead of the proud Americans and thought of the charm of penguins first. Fortunately, Warner, which wanted to get a share of the animation industry, followed closely and seized this opportunity in time. However, there are still doubts in the minds of the producers. After all, the painful lesson of the failure of "Penguin and the Pebble" is still there, and the lingering warmth of "Diary of the Penguin" is still there. Shooting a penguin theme again may be thankless. But when John Kerry, the screenwriter of "Into the Wild", came up with the first draft of the script, Warner immediately gave up its doubts and immediately put the filming plan on the schedule. And gathered all the talents and material resources that could be gathered to launch this cute penguin's story of determination. Looking forward to making another big profit when winter comes.
