You know things are going downhill when a dancing penguin causes a political flap.
Not everyone's happy with the blockbuster "Happy Feet."
"Crappy feet" one critic called it.
Some conservatives say it's dark, disturbing environmental propaganda pitting cute penguins against big bad humans and the fishing industry - an animated version of "an inconvenient truth."
But can you really compare Al Gore's global warming documentary to Happy Feet?
There is no global warming in "Happy Feet" though the director readily admits to amplifying environmental themes. The penguins are starving because of overfishing. Humans are called aliens.
Even The New York Times described the movie as a view of hell seen through eyes and ears of creatures.
The movie's gotten rave reviews from other critics, including 49 News' Film Critic Keith Van Sickle. See his review of "Happy Feet". """
OOOHhhhh...dancing penguins....dark and disturbing......
