Comcast digital cable and high-speed Internet customers can get a sneak peek at the penguin stars
of the new movie Happy Feet with exclusive content available 24x7 on
Comcast's ON DEMAND service and on Comcast.net, its broadband portal. The comedy adventure, Happy Feet, from Warner Bros. Pictures, debuts
in theaters November 17. In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep
in Antarctica, you're nobody unless you can sing-which is unfortunate
for Mumble, who is the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to
his own tune - tap dancing. Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little
habit is cute, but his dad, Memphis, says "it just ain't penguin."
Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never
find true love. Leaving home, Mumble meets the Adelie Amigos, led by
Ramon. The Adelies invite Mumble to party with them in Adelie Land,
where Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered
Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's questions for the
price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets
out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that
by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the
world. Comcast offers fans a variety of exclusive Happy Feet entertainment
on its signature video-on-demand service and award-winning portal,
including:
A Dancing Lesson with Savion Glover - Glover, an award-winning tap dancer who has starred in musicals, such as "The Tap Dance Kid" and "Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk," gives home audience members step-by-step instruction on how to do the tap with Mumble in his "I WISH" solo. As Savion teaches the entire routine, he gives away hints and tricks of his own to make learning easier. Clips of Mumble's dance help guide viewers to perfecting his moves.
"Somebody To Love" Music Video - Viewers can enjoy special behind-the-scenes footage of Brittany Murphy, the voice of Gloria in Happy Feet, performing "Somebody To Love" from the Happy Feet soundtrack and talking about her animated, on-screen alter-ego.
The Amigos Spanish Lesson 101 - Happy Feet fans can learn some key Spanish words and phrases from the film, taught by the Adelie Amigos, a group of un-Emperor-like penguins Mumble meets when he ventures away from the Emperor Nation.
Penguin Environment Trivia - As the audience watches penguins in their natural habitat, Mumble shares interesting facts about life in Antarctica.
