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. In addition to songs by the Brand New Heavies (the funky, dancehall-rooted "Jump and Move") and other established artists, the soundtrack presents musical numbers performed by actors who lend their voices to the movie, including Brittany Murphy, who offers up a R&B-tinged version of Queen's "Somebody to Love."
