For those of you who have not scene Happy Feet, I would suggest you observe closely when you do go see it. Happy Feet the penguin movie does good a job of educating people on the life and survival of the species in a entertainment format. Happy Feet failed when it allowed Latin stereotypes to enter the movie and how one set of penguins looked compared to another. The dialog between the male and female Latin penguin could be one example of borderline stereotypes in the movie. Another example of the stereotypes in the movie could be how the Latin penguins set was presented as lazy and not as bright and organized as the other set of penguins. Streetroachpics.com is surprised that the stereotypes did not over showed the movie although there have been people asking for their money back once the scenes start to take place which involved the Latin set of penguins.
