Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From tap-dancing penguins in the first movie we now have sermonising, rapping, gospel-choiring and even (spare me) opera-warbling penguins in this sequel.
Much of the plot concerns the plight of the Emperor Penguins marooned by a sudden glacial shift in the landscape, with Pink's show-off vocalising and Robin Williams's Latin American accent in a contest to see who can be more annoying. A happier diversion involves the fate of two krill – prawnlike crustaceans voiced, very amusingly, by Brad Pitt and Matt Damon – determined to prove their individuality ("one in a krillion") and force their way up the food chain. If all the scriptwriting had been this good, Happy Feet Two would be a Christmas treat for the ages.
