Happy Feet Two is an upcoming computer-animated film directed by George Miller, who co-directed the original film Happy Feet.[1] The film is a sequel to Happy Feet and stars Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Pink, Sofia Vergara and Common. Animal Logic Films[1] in Santa Monica, California, and Dr. D Studios in Sydney, Australia are producing the film which is currently set to premier in North American theaters on November 18, 2011 in RealD 3D and IMAX 3D. The film will be released with a Looney Tunes short called Daffy's Rhapsody.[2]

Voice cast

Development

Elijah Wood and Robin Williams are set to reprise their previous performances as Mumble, Ramon, and Lovelace. Also set to work on the film are Carlos Alazraqui, Johnny A. Sanchez, Lombardo Boyar and Jeffrey Garcia as Nestor, Lombardo, Raul, and Rinaldo.[8] No other actors have been confirmed as repeating their earlier performances.

Brittany Murphy, who originally voiced Mumble's love interest Gloria, was set to reprise her role and begin recording sometime in 2010,[9] but her death on December 20, 2009 has rendered that impossible. Pink appears to be Murphy's replacement and Miller has confirmed that she will contribute a song, and Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will voice the tiny krill.[10][11] Hank Azaria has also signed on to play a new character.[12] Elizabeth Daily, who played young Mumble in the previous film, will play Mumble's choreo-phobic son Erik and Sofía Vergara will also appear in the film as a new character.[13] There is to be a live action scene in the movie as in the first Happy Feet.[14] Mitchell Hicks has signed up as the movie's choreographer.[15]

A promotional image of all the penguins from the first movie with the title "Happy Feet 2" has been released at CineMovie.tv.[16]
