Happy Feet Facts
Happy Feet is an Australian-produced 2006 computer-animated comedy-drama
musical film, directed and co-written by George Miller. It was produced at
Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner
Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures and was released in North America on
November 17, 2006. It is the first animated feature film produced by
Kennedy Miller in association with Animal Logic. Though primarily an
animated film, it does incorporate live action humans in certain scenes.
The film was simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in
IMAX 2D format. The studio has hinted that a future IMAX 3D release was a
possibility. Happy Feet won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature
after failing to win the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature. Happy
