Happy is a 2006 [[Computer animation|computer-animated]] [[jukebox musical]] [[comedy film]] directed, produced, and co-written by [[George Miller (filmmaker)|George Miller]]. It stars the voices of [[Elijah Wood]], [[Robin Williams]], [[Brittany Murphy]], [[Hugh Jackman]], [[Nicole Kidman]], [[Hugo Weaving]], and [[E. G. Daily|E.G. Daily]]. An [[Co-production (media)|international co-production]] between the United States and Australia, the film was produced at [[Sydney]]-based [[visual effects]] and [[animation studio]] [[Animal Logic]] for [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], [[Village Roadshow Pictures]], and Kingdom Feature Productions, and was released in [[North America|North American]] theaters on November 17, 2006, and in Australian theaters on December 26, 2006. It is the first animated film produced by Kennedy Miller and Animal Logic. Set in the cold land of [[Antarctica]], the film tells the story of Mumble, an [[emperor penguin]] who, despite his lacking the ability to sing the heartsong to attract a [[Soulmate|soul mate]], is able to [[tap dance]] brilliantly. After being continuously ridiculed and rejected by peers and his own father, Mumble departs on a journey to learn what is causing the local fish population to decline--and to find himself along the way.

Every [[emperor penguin]] attracts a [[Mating|mate]] by singing a unique "heartsong". If the [[male]] penguin's heartsong matches the [[female]]'s song, the two penguins mate. Norma Jean, a female penguin, falls for Memphis, a male penguin and they become mates. They lay an [[egg]], which Memphis cares for while Norma Jean leaves with the other females to [[fish]]. While the males struggle through the harsh [[winter]], Memphis briefly drops the egg. The resulting chick, Mumble, is unable to sing but can [[tap dance]]. Nevertheless, he is enamored with Gloria, a female penguin who is regarded as the most talented of her age. One day, Mumble encounters a group of hostile [[skua]], with a leader who is tagged with a [[Bird ringing|yellow band]], which he says is from an [[alien abduction]]. Mumble narrowly escapes the hungry birds by falling into a crevice.

Now a young adult, Mumble is frequently ridiculed by the elders and their leader Noah. After escaping from a [[leopard seal]] attack, Mumble befriends five [[Adélie penguin|Adelie penguins]] named Ramón, Nestor, Lombardo, Rinaldo, and Raul, known collectively as "the Amigos", who embrace Mumble's dance moves and assimilate him into their group. After seeing a hidden human [[excavator]] in an [[avalanche]], they opt to ask Lovelace, a [[Northern rockhopper penguin|rockhopper penguin]], about its origin. Lovelace has the [[Six-pack rings|plastic rings of a six-pack]] entangled around his neck, saying that they have been bestowed upon him by mystic beings.

For the emperor penguins, it is [[Seasonal breeder|mating season]] and Gloria isntion. The Amigos unsuccessfully attempt to help Mumble win her affection by having Ramón sing a Spanish version of "[[My Way]]" behind Mumble, with the latter [[Lip sync|lip syncing]]. After Mumble desperately begins tap dancing in synch with her song, she falls for him and the youthful penguins join in for singing and dancing to "[[Boogie Wonderland]]". The elders are appalled by Mumble's conduct, which they see as the reason for their lean fishing season. Memphis begs Mumble to stop dancing, for his own sake, but when Mumble refuses, he is exiled.

Mumble and the Amigos return to Lovelace, only to find him being choked by the plastic rings. Lovelace confesses they were snagged on him while swimming off the forbidden shores, beyond the land of the [[Southern elephant seal|elephant seals]]. Not long into their journey, Gloria encounters them, wishing to become Mumble's mate. Fearing for her safety, he ridicules Gloria, driving her away.

At the forbidden shore, Mumble, Lovelace, and the Amigos are attacked by the two [[Orca|orcas]], during which Lovelace gets free from the plastic rings. After escaping, they find a [[Fishing vessel|fishing boat]]. Mumble exhaustingly pursues it alone, eventually washing up on the shore of [[Florida]], where he is rescued and kept at a [[zoo]] with [[Magellanic penguin|Magellanic penguins]], [[Chinstrap penguin|Chinstrap penguins]], and [[Little penguin|little penguins]]. After a long and secluded confinement in addition to fruitlessly trying to communicate with the humans, he nearly succumbs to [[Insanity|madness]]. When a girl attempts to interact with Mumble by tapping the glass, he starts dancing, which attracts a large crowd. He is released back into the wild, with a [[GPS animal tracking|tracking device]] attached to his back. He returns to his colony and challenges the will of the elders. Memphis reconciles with him, just as a research team arrives, verifying Mumble's statements of "aliens" existing. The entire colony engages in dance in front of the research team, whose expedition footage prompts a worldwide debate, which eventually leads to the banning of all Antarctic [[overfishing]], satisfying both the emperor penguins and the Amigos.
