elijah-wood-09-9-8 Elijah Wood and fellow co-star Robin Williams have signed up for Happy Feet 2. Just exactly what the world needs – another Happy Feet film. The Hollywood Reporter have it that Woods and Williams will be heading down under early next year to record their parts. The original had a fairly large cast of A-listers, but only Wood and Williams are confirmed so far. Nothing is known of plot details, needless to say, it will revolve around dancer extraordinaire – Mumbles, and an adventure somewhere. Recently, Robin Williams announced his movie choices will take a darker turn…did this include Happy Feet?

George Miller is also prepping Mad Max: Fury Road, so it will be interesting to see which comes first. The first Happy Feet film was as daft as a brush with a stellar cast. It also won an Oscar. Where will Mumbles go to next? Broadway?

Miller has produced kids films before when he made Babe in the 1990s. Its sequel was a much more disturbing vision, so let’s hope Happy Feet 2 goes in the same direction. Nevertheless, the CGI penguins shall be returning in the near future. With Mumbles and the gang dancing all the way to the box office, no doubt.
