“Happy Feet Two” returns audiences to the magnificent landscape of Antarctica. Mumble, The Master of Tap, has a problem because his tiny son, Erik, is choreo-phobic. Reluctant to dance, Erik runs away and encounters The Mighty Sven-a penguin who can fly! Mumble has no hope of competing with this charismatic new role model. But things get worse when the world is shaken by powerful forces. Erik learns of his father’s “guts and grit” as Mumble brings together the penguin nations and all manner of fabulous creatures-from tiny Krill to giant Elephant Seals-to put things right.

Throughout his extraordinary career, Academy Award-wining director Martin Scorsese has brought his unique vision and dazzling gifts to life in a series of unforgettable films. Now the legendary storyteller invites you to join him on a thrilling journey to a magical world based on Brian Selznick’s award-winning, imaginative New York Times best-seller, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret.” “Hugo” is the astonishing adventure of a wily and resourceful boy whose quest to unlock a secret left to him by his father will transform Hugo and all those around him, and reveal a safe and loving place he can call home.
“Rapturously beautiful, a spectacular adventure. ‘Hugo’ will take your breath away. It truly is the stuff that dreams are made of.”
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
“Enchanting. Ingenious. Emotionally rich. The manner in which the film blends the tale of an imperiled boy and the history of cinema makes for an ambitious and fanciful ride.”
- Claudia Puig, USA Today
“Unlike any other film Martin Scorsese has ever made, and yet possibly the closest to his heart: a big-budget, family epic, and in some ways, a mirror of his own life.”
- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
