Title: Bond looses out to penguins at US box office
Post by: Serious on November 28, 2006, 02:35:15 AM
QuoteA flock of Hollywood superstars gathered on an ice-blue carpet amid tons of fake snow to launch the story of a dancing penguin that beat the latest James Bond at the US box office.

Actress Nicole Kidman, one of the voices in the animated film, headed the A-list of stars at the European premiere of Happy Feet.

Robin Williams, Elijah Wood and Brittany Murphy were also at the Leicester Square screening in Londons West End.

The blue carpet replaced the usual red one and the "snow" transformed the cinema into an Antarctic Wonderland.

Happy Feet is already a massive hit in the US where it beat Bond film Casino Royale to number one at the box office.

It follows the story of Mumble the penguin, voiced by Wood, who has a talent for tap-dancing but is ostracised because he cannot sing.

Watched Happy Feet last night - what can I say what a fantastic flick! Animation is some of the best and most realistic Ive ever seen, the music/dancing/voices are excellent and the story has a real message to tell which it does well.

Cant wait for this to come out in HD :)
