A True Disappointment
I just finished watching this movie with my 3 kids (4-1/2 boy and 2-1/2 twin girls). They are all avid Care Bear fans and love the old cartoons. After the initial five minutes where the Care Bears all appear they lost interest. Except for Funshine Bear, you hardly see the other Care Bears as most of the plot takes place in Joke-A-Lot; a land full of grotesque creatures who are neither amusing or cute to look at. Where are Hugs and Tugs, The Care Bear Stare, Beastly, Shrieky, Lord No Heart? Don’t get your hopes up for the CD either – there are 3 songs in the whole movie so I’m sure it will be a waste of money as well.
This movie had great potential – its too bad they blew it.
Distorting the Care Bears under the guise of ‘updating’
I should preface this review by stating that I still love the Care Bears. I own both of their other full-length movies. It was one of my favorite cartoons growing up. And I was always particularly attached to Funshine bear, and cried when I lost my Funshine doll.
So when I heard there would be another movie, this time about Funshine, I was thrilled. Or, I was for the first few moments.
I realize that the producers of this film are attempting to keep the Care Bears fresh for a new generation, and I appreciate that since I would love nothing more than to see these characters last forever. But I think this film diverted from the original *too* much.
The Care Bears are scary looking in CGI. I don’t like the lack of villians, it makes Funshine seem like the bad guy. And more importantly, what the (bleep) is up with Funshine being a male bear?
She’s female! Can someone please pay a little more attention here? I’m dying. You could at least pretend to care about the original cartoons.
Maybe young kids will like this film, although I think the CGI bears will frighten them. But those of us who grew up with the Care Bears certainly don’t appreciate it.
Not The Same
Okay, Sure this movie is cute and fun like ‘Care Bears’ of the past but The kids DO seem like 5 year olds. I know this movie is a new continuity but there’s something missing.
Fun for little Kids but not for Old Fans. If the ‘Care Bear’ owners wanted old fans to ‘re-connect’ to the fanbase this movie does NOT do it!

Compared to modern American Comedies that consist of an endless series of explosions and fart jokes (when they’re not burping), this British Film is a delight.

Although remarkable of the film may be a bit boring for American tastes, the creep is well considered and the late segments only compose the manic episodes all the more delectable.
Like the Disney Hit “Meet the Robinsons”, worthy of the movie doesn’t seem to create sense, until the ending when everything comes together in a shiny, laugh-out-loud conclusion.

A MUST Notice!!
The Dick Van Dyke Point To. The Lucy Prove. The Unique Couple.
What on earth do these amazing used T.V. shows have to do with Mr. Bean’s Holiday?
Well, not a whole lot thematically, but there is one very essential tie between them. The classic shows mentioned above were not children’s programs. They were prime-time comedy series aimed at adults. They were well-organized as a whistle for the most fraction, as shows then tended to be, but the subjects of the shows revolved around divorce, marital troubles, problems at the office etc.
Unfortunately, fresh entertainment equates “adult” with sex and violence. In other words, the word adult has been appropriated. Nothing could possibly be silly, clever, inventive or appealing if there isn’t at least some sex or controversy legal? It’s a gorgeous dark place when “adult” has approach to mean “15 year-old boy” :/
Now before you roll your eyes, I am as far from being a prude as you can secure. I have and savor scores of R-rated films, and listen to music that would invent most “hipsters” hair curl with shock and disgust. But there was a time when writers actually had to be clever to rep a laugh, imagine that. Any idiot can flow into a theater tubby of adolescents, fall the F-bomb and salvage roars of laughter, and do, now that was easy. The industry has gone from using salatious material to be thought-provoking (Kubrick, Scorsese) to relying on it for an easy thrill.
Well objective when you understanding that the art of being comical without body parts and fart jokes was a lost art, along comes Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson reminds us with this silly, charming film, that silly is droll. My 9-year-old roared with delight throughout the entire film, as did my wife and I. And the added kick was, it was the first time in a long, long time we did it as a family, without my wife holding the remote with a death-grip to skip over something. It was a nice, and far-too overdue feeling.
Of course there are several references thoughout the movie that will cruise over the heads of most children, a scene satirizing a pretentious, arty filmmaker for instance (which was hilarious), but the lion’s fraction of the obsolete, almost mute film-style contemplate gags and elaborately choreographed Buster Keaton stunts (The fabulous breeze over a busy highway was fair impressive), will entertain anyone with a bit of wonder left in them.
A previous reviewer believed that today’s children would be bored by Mr. Bean’s goofy antics. Sadly, these days he may be moral. There are no CGI thingies crashing into each other, no underdressed teen girls chatting on cell phones at the mall, and fill it or not, no fart jokes. But you know something, when I watched my daughter laugh and applaud at the kill, I assume …maybe he’s unfavorable.

Great movie that looks amazing in HD!
First of all, this is simply a great movie. The narrative is brought to life with humor, action, important life lessons, and conservational commentary. The voice actors all give 5-star performances and the animation is incredible.
But, this being the Blu-ray disc, I’m going to focus on the picture and sound.
The animation by itself is simply breath-taking; easily one of, if not the best looking CGI feature to date. But in HD, it’s brought to life even further. Every feather on the penguins is apparent, every flake of snow falling through the air and I’d almost go so far as to say every molecule of water! This is the best looking animated feature you can get on Blu-ray now. It’s definitely the show-off piece when people ask “How much better does HD look?”. The leopard seal was particularly mind-blowing to me.
Another hook is the sound. While I wouldn’t say this is the best sounding movie on Blu-ray, it definitely puts sound to good use and ranks pretty high. All five channels are used when appropriate, but Happy Feet does not utilize them as much as other films. Still, crank up the sound and the action scenes will blow you away.
All in all, this is an excellent movie made even better on Blu-ray. At this time, this is the Blu-ray disc to own for giving people lessons about HD.
It’s PG for a reason people
Okay, seriously why are people consistently saying they’re surprised Happy Feet is not for very young kids when the movie is clearly rated “PG”?? Don’t blame the movie for some of the sexy songs (which I thought were very funny and well done) when they warned you upfront with a big “PG” label. Take some responsibility and do a little research before not hiring a babysitter for the night. 
I didn’t find the environmental message to be over the top either but the movie is definitely two parts– part 1 being about learning tolerance and cute penguins and part 2 about taking care of your environment and semi-stupid humans.
But overall they did blend the two parts well and I laughed out loud so many times I had to buy this movie as soon as it came out.
Excellent….
First, this movie may be appreciate by kids, but its really made for big
kids, which will understand and appreciate it more. Great music, great
characters will entertain you with this eye candy of a movie. I did’nt
know what to expect, and viewing it at 23:00 it had to be good. By the
time the movie ended, i could’nt go to bed…cause my feet were dancing.
