Q & A

What is the theory surrounding the movie 'Happy Feet' mentioned in the video?

The theory suggests that 'Happy Feet,' a 2006 animated movie about penguins, might originally have had a cosmic horror or Lovecraftian twist in its script. Fans speculate that the original story was darker, filled with alien-like penguins, cosmic horror elements, and a much more serious narrative than the final family-friendly version.

How did this theory gain traction in the first place?

The theory became popular in Spanish-speaking communities through online discussions and resurfaced after a supposed original script of 'Happy Feet' was leaked. It gained further attention due to unresolved questions about the movie’s strange plot elements and thematic inconsistencies.

What are some of the red flags in the movie that hint at Lovecraftian themes?

Several moments in 'Happy Feet' suggest Lovecraftian undertones, such as the penguins' religious fear of a cosmic deity, the crisis of hunger caused by external factors (humans as aliens), and the strange depiction of alien-like entities. There’s also a hint of cosmic horror when the penguins believe their suffering is due to angering a giant cosmic penguin goddess.

Why do some fans believe George Miller, the director, wrote the original darker script?

Fans believe George Miller wrote the original script because of his known conflict with the production studio. Miller reportedly complained about how the studio altered scripts and stifled creativity, leading some to speculate that the darker, Lovecraftian script was his vision before it was heavily edited.

What evidence from conferences or media supports the idea of a darker version of 'Happy Feet'?

At the 2007 SIGGRAPH conference, unedited renderings of 'Happy Feet' were shown, featuring deformed penguins, evidence of alien activity, and dark caves with corpses—scenes far more disturbing than anything in the final movie. This presentation is cited as evidence of a darker vision for the film.

What role does the concept of aliens play in both the movie and the original script?

In the movie, the 'aliens' refer to humans who are seen as invaders by the penguins. However, in the original script, it’s suggested that real, intelligent aliens resembling penguins existed, exploiting Earth’s resources, which mirrored how humans were exploiting Antarctica’s resources in the story.

What was the original plot twist in the supposed original script of 'Happy Feet'?

The original plot twist in the leaked script was that the penguins' hunger and suffering were not due to humans, but a cosmic deity they worshiped. The penguin goddess was a terrifying being living in the cosmos, and the religious oppression shown in the movie would have been far more intense and darker.

What is the connection between 'Happy Feet' and H.P. Lovecraft's story 'At the Mountains of Madness'?

Both 'Happy Feet' and 'At the Mountains of Madness' take place in Antarctica and feature penguins. In Lovecraft’s story, albino penguins interact with ancient, alien beings and possess unusual intelligence and size. The video suggests this could be a link to the Lovecraftian elements supposedly present in the original 'Happy Feet' script.

Did the 'Happy Feet' sequel impact the popularity of the original movie's cosmic horror theory?

Yes, after 'Happy Feet 2' failed at the box office, a supposed leak of the original script gained traction online, with many speculating that the darker elements were removed in order to appeal to a broader audience. The theory grew as the public began discussing what could have been a more intense narrative.

Is there any official confirmation about the existence of this darker script for 'Happy Feet'?

No, there has been no official confirmation from the production team or George Miller about the existence of a darker, Lovecraftian script. However, the speculation persists due to odd elements in the film and Miller's known grievances with the studio.
