Penguin's counterattack

I have asked many friends what is the most serious thing in life. The answer is mostly to make love, and some say it is to raise the next generation. Regardless of who these people are around me, at least one conclusion can be drawn: hormones are king.
Therefore, high school musicals, such as hormone-filled things, have always been very pleasing. If the character is more handsome, there will be no cure. "Happy Feet" seems to be like this.
The passionate young people who grew up in singing and dancing, the cute CG animal images, the great adventure of saving the penguin family, the theme of environmentalism...With such rich elements, it is no wonder that this film will win the 79th Oscar Award.
But after watching this film, I felt very confused.
The film progressed to two-thirds, Manbo gained the favor of humans through dancing, brought the humans back to his hometown, led the emperor penguins to dance together, so as to gain the recognition of humans and fight for his own right to survive.
This seemingly beautiful scene reminds me of the China-Japan gala in "The Devil Is Coming", after Ma Dasan flattered the Japanese devil, the Japanese army brought food to the village. What will be next.
You act like a pet. Naturally, others can only treat you as a pet. All you can get is the treatment of a pet. Looking for food with the tiger, do you think that death was not miserable enough?
I don't understand why the director wants to make a relaxed and cheerful story like this.
Is it because we are shooting cartoons for the good of the next generation in the United States, so we have such a naive logic? So, what do the children think when they rush to the zoo excitedly and see a penguin who can’t tap or sing Latin? Should penguins who can't sing and dance and are indifferent to humans still need to protect it?
Or did the director want to make a penguin trilogy? After "Happy Feet", there are "Miserable Feet" and "The Rise of Big Feet"? This is actually a dark series like Harry Potter?
In order to find out, I decided to look at the director’s interview to understand his creative intentions. The moment I saw the director, I had an epiphany. Director George Miller’s face is clearly the Penguin in the 92 version of "Batman Returns"! This film is clearly a promotional video for the Penguins when they were running for mayor of Takamori City! This black-bellied old guy! Where is Batman? Where is Batman? Don't think that if the clown hangs up, nothing will happen to you, the lower Batman will kill you! Believe it or not? Believe it or not?

    Somewhat verbose. But I personally feel that this animation, powerful dubbing and good soundtrack, is destined to shine. It is indeed a very happy film.
