"No one involved in "Happy Feet" set out to make a blockbuster tribute to tap-dancing. But as it turned out, the movie about a hyper-rhythmic penguin who saves his flock with his dancing feet is the best thing to happen to tap since Fred Astaire.
Perhaps it's better. Astaire was big, Astaire was a genius, Astaire was Astaire -- but he was no darling, fuzzy little bird, nor the object of pint-size wuv. The misfit penguin Mumble, on the other hand, is all those things and one of the biggest stars at the box office. Last weekend, "Happy Feet" was holding steady as the nation's No. 2 movie: The flightless fowl is sure to be seen by zillions of kids and parents around the globe. For fans of tap, humble Mumble is the new messiah."
