Happy Feet Two is an upcoming 3D computer-animated family film directed by George Miller, who co-directed the original film Happy Feet. The film is a sequel to Happy Feet and stars Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Pink, Sofía Vergara and Common. Dr. D Studios in Sydney, Australia is producing the film, which is currently set to premiere in North American theaters on November 18, 2011 in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D. The film will be released with a Looney Tunes short called I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat.
Mumble the penguin has a problem: his son Erik, who is reluctant to dance, encounters Amazing Hero Puffin called "The Mighty Sven," who he thinks is a penguin who can fly. Things get worse for Mumble when the world is shaken by powerful forces, causing him to bring together the penguin nations and their allies to set things right.
Elijah Wood and Robin Williams are set to reprise their previous performances as Mumble, Ramón, 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. 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, but died from pneumonia on December 20, 2009. Pink replaced Murphy and Miller has confirmed that she will contribute a song ("Tell Me Something Good", also by Pink, was contributed to the soundtrack of the first film), and Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will voice the tiny krill.[12][13] Hank Azaria also signed on to play a new character.[14] Elizabeth Daily, who played young Mumble in the previous film, played Mumble's choreophobic son Erik and Sofía Vergara appears in the film as a new character. There is to be a live action scene in the movie as in the first Happy Feet. Mitchell Hicks has signed up as the movie's choreographer.
