Midway Gets Happy Feet

Company: Midway
Product: happy feet

Warner Bros. and Midway Games have announced the signing of a multi-territory publishing agreement to develop video games based on ?Happy Feet,? a comedy adventure written and directed by George Miller (the ?Babe? movies, ?Lorenzo?s Oil,? and the ?Mad Max? trilogy), scheduled for release in November 2006. The multi-platform deal includes games for console, handheld, and PC platforms.

?We?re very excited to bring consumers top quality interactive games to accompany the release of ?Happy Feet,?? said David F. Zucker, Midway president and chief executive officer. ?This phenomenal license will attract younger gamers and serve as one of the anchors in our new line of family friendly games.?


?Creating a quality game for ?Happy Feet? will allow fans to extend their cinematic experience into the interactive space,? said Jason Hall, Senior Vice President of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. ?Expanding the film?s creative story within the game will bring ?Happy Feet? to life in a whole new way and create a great connection with young players.?

Under the agreement, Midway?s development teams will work in close conjunction with the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment production staff to create compelling, fun, and visually appealing interactive games that embody the spirit and humor of the upcoming feature film.


?Happy Feet? is a comedy adventure set in the land of the Emperor Penguins in the heart of Antarctica. These penguins sing, and each needs its own special song to attract a soul mate. Our hero, Mumble (Elijah Wood), son of Elvis (Hugh Jackman) and Norma Jean (Nicole Kidman), is the worst singer in the world... but he can tap-dance something fierce!

The all-star ensemble cast also includes the voices of (in alphabetical order) Brittany Murphy, Hugo Weaving, Robin Williams, and features the dancing of legendary tapper Savion Glover (?Bring in Da Noise, Bring in Da Funk?).
