And this would be because ... ?

Happy Feet is just lighthearted entertainment until you start to ask yourself why it exists. Why would anyone remake a moving French documentary about penguins as an animated comedy (complete with similar narration) about singing and dancing? Because they could, I guess. It just ends up feeling sort of odd. Quite entertaining, though, and sometimes quite clever. Way too scary for little kids, though.

I assumed the reason it exists, for good or ill, was to serve as the family-friendly tie-in for "An Inconvenient Truth." I haven't seen it - some people I know love it and some hate it - but I was under the impression the overall pro-environment/anti-global warming message was not terribly disguised.
