NEW YORK, NY--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 9, 2006 -- Atlantic Records has
announced the forthcoming release of "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE:
HAPPY FEET," the original motion picture soundtrack to the Warner
Bros./Village Roadshow comedy adventure. Due in stores on October
31st, the album features performances by contemporary recording
artists, as well as members of the film's cast. "Happy Feet" is
slated to open in theatres nationwide on November 17.
The first single from "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE: HAPPY FEET"
will be a brand-new track by Prince, entitled "The Song of the
Heart." Also featured on the collection is "Hit Me Up," the debut
single from new Atlantic recording artist Gia Farrell.
In addition, "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE: HAPPY FEET" sees a
variety of artists reinterpreting some of rock, pop, and soul's
greatest hits, including songs originally recorded by The Beatles,
Bread, Steve Miller, Rufus & Chaka Khan, and Stevie Wonder. Among
the soundtrack's highlights are newly recorded tracks from Pink;
k.d. lang; Atlantic recording artist Jason Mraz -- in a once-in-a-
lifetime mashup with Chrissie Hynde; and the soul-sational trio of
Patti LaBelle, Atlantic recording artist Yolanda Adams, and Fantasia
Barrino; as well as classics from the Beach Boys and the Brand New
Heavies.
The album also features songs made famous by Earth, Wind & Fire;
Elvis Presley; Prince; Queen; and Frank Sinatra, as performed by
some of the film's stars, including Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman,
Robin Williams and Brittany Murphy. "MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE:
HAPPY FEET" will close with "The Story of Mumble Happyfeet," written
and produced by the film's score composer John Powell.
A comedy adventure, "Happy Feet" is set in the great nation of
Emperor Penguins. Deep in Antarctica, you're nobody unless you can
sing -- which is unfortunate for Mumble (ELIJAH WOOD), who is the
worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own tune... tap
dancing. Mumble's mom, Norma Jean (NICOLE KIDMAN), thinks this
little habit is cute, but his dad, Memphis (HUGH JACKMAN), says
it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a
Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. Leaving home, Mumble
meets the Adelie Amigos, led by Ramon (ROBIN WILLIAMS). The Adelies
invite Mumble to party with them in Adelie Land, where Mumble seeks
the counsel of Lovelace the Guru (also voiced by ROBIN WILLIAMS), a
crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's
questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the
Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic
encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all
the difference in the world.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents, in association with Village Roadshow
Pictures, a Kennedy Miller production, in association with Animal
Logic Film. A George Miller film, "Happy Feet" features the voices
of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, Brittany Murphy, Hugh Jackman,
Nicole Kidman, Hugo Weaving and Anthony LaPaglia. The film also
features the tap dancing of Savion Glover.
"Happy Feet" is directed by George Miller, who also co-wrote the
screenplay with John Collee, Judy Morris and Warren Coleman. The
film is produced by Doug Mitchell, George Miller and Bill Miller,
with Zareh Nalbandian, Graham Burke, Dana Goldberg, and Bruce Berman
executive producing.
"Happy Feet" will be released by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner
Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village
Roadshow Pictures.
The film has been rated "PG" for "some mild peril and rude humor."
