'Happy Feet' podcast

Robin Williams tells Chris Tilly what it's like to voice not one, but two, penguins in the animated musical.

Dec  6 2006

'Happy Feet' is without doubt the best animated film of the year, a toe-tapping musical comedy about an Emperor Penguin called Mumble, whose poor singing voice results in him being ostracised from his penguin community and forced to go it alone.

The film features the vocal stylings of Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Brittany Murphy and Elijah Wood, but it's Robin Williams who steals the show, playing two very different penguins – Lovelace, a Barry White-esque guru who will answer any question for the price of a pebble, and Ramon, a Latino penguin with an eye for the ladies.

I caught up with the hairiest man in comedy to discuss the film, and did my best to record his hilarious ramblings for our latest podcast.
