This Happy Feet Movie Guide challenges students to think critically about themes like individuality, social norms, and environmental stewardship. Consider Mumble’s challenges with fitting in due to his unique talent for dancing, sparking conversations about the value of being different. Compare the contrasting penguin cultures that Mumble encounters, examining where he feels most accepted. Explore the director’s choice to zoom out from the penguin enclosure to outer space, opening up discussions about our place in the larger world. Reflect on Mumble’s journey of personal growth, touching on themes like courage, acceptance, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. Discuss the impact of Mumble’s ‘happy feet,’ both as a symbol of his individuality and as a catalyst for change in his community. Is this movie guide worth it?
