In the world of the emperor penguin, a simple song can mean the difference between a lifetime of happiness and an eternity of loneliness. When a penguin named Mumble is born without the ability to sing the romantic song that will attract his soul mate, he'll have to resort to some fancy footwork by tap dancing his way into the heart of the one he loves. Directed by Babe mastermind George Miller, Happy Feet tells the tale of one penguin's quest for love, and features an all-star cast of vocal talent that includes Robin Williams, Hugh Jackman, Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman, and Brittany Murphy. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Originally telecast in Japan under the title Hare Tokidoki Buta, this animated series revolved around a nine-year-old boy and his magical pet pig. Whenever the youngster imagined an adventure, the plucky pig would enable him to "act it out," generally in a slapsticky fashion. The boy, known as Kazuko in Japan, was re-christened Spencer when the series was brought to North America under the title Tokyo Pig. First broadcast on TV Tokyo from July 3, 1997, to September 29, 1998, the series debuted in the U.S. over the ABC Family cable channel on September 14, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
