The Path of Trials
Mumble heads out with Lovelace, Ramon, and the other Adelie Amigos. Lovelace is Mumble’s mentor, while the Amigos are his friends. Without his friends, Mumble would never have reached the alien outpost. From there though, he heads out alone as all heroes must do. Lovelace yells after him, “I’m going to be telling your story Happy Feet. Long after you’re dead and gone.” This is the power of the hero and the journey. As Mumble goes through his journey his fur slowly disappears. -
Master of Two Worlds
Mumble returns to the world of the emperor penguins triumphant, having brought back the aliens who are so impressed with his dancing that they give the fish back. He wins the heart of Gloria and the respect of his father – not to mention the appreciation of the whole community.
