Happy Feet (2006‪)‬ Talkin' 'Toon 'Tics

In this week’s episode Ed and Tom tackle the bonkers 2006 tap dancing penguin jukebox musical, Happy Feet.

In preparation for this unbridled jibber-jab, Ed brushed up on the mating rituals of penguins while Tom re-watched all 4 of the Mad Max films.

They ask…

· What does Happy Feet have in common with Fury Road?

· Are flash mobs a bit sinister?

· What’s the point of realistic looking animation?

· Why are mystical hero’s journey’s only for boys?

· Is it still OK for Robin Williams to do a broad Latin X accent?

· Is Happy Feet actually an allegory for the refugee crisis?

· Why are fish so often denied souls?

· What would ‘March of the Morgan Freemans’ look like?

Listen till the end for Ed’s surprise (but not a surprise) quiz ‘Peng-win or Peng-lose’.

This episode features the occasional naughty word bomb.
