“I am honored to be a part of that film. It has a really important message, embracing one's individuality. It was the most universal film I've ever read.” ImportantFilmMessagesUniversalIndividualityHonored Author:Brittany Murphy
“I got a phone call from George Miller [the director] asking me to play this role. We sat down and he showed me on his computer a documentary-type montage sequence of real penguins swimming, in an Esther Williams synchronized sort of way, and doing things I have never seen them do. Then he explained his vision of the film, asked me to read the script and to voice the character. I was cast a little bit later, and he let me do the singing as well!” WayWellsLittlesRealPlayCharacterFilmBitsVoiceVisionRolesTypeDirectorsComputerLittle BitSingingLet MeAskingDown AndScriptsCastsPhonesSatSwimmingDocumentariesSequencePhone CallsPenguinsEsther Author:Brittany Murphy
“Individuality is vitally important. When people start to lose their individuality is when I believe they start to lose themselves. I think children are born with this message, and it shouldn't be taken away from them. I hope they walk away with it after seeing the film, and adults too. And I notice it also with myself, because the older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.” PeopleThinkingBelieveChildrenImportantFilmI BelieveBornLosesMy OwnWalksTakenSeeingMessagesAdultsEmbraceIndividualityIdiosyncrasies Author:Brittany Murphy
“I would hope with all my heart that people understand this and see it in the film. And there are also other messages in Happy Feet, like racial and environmental ones, but none of them are so overt. George has made a great story about penguins with a lot of humanity in it and audiences can follow a species we don't know that well.” PeopleKnowsWellsHeartMadeStoriesFilmHumanityAudienceFeetMy HeartMessagesSpeciesEnvironmentalPenguinsHappy Feet Author:Brittany Murphy
