Elijah Wood's Happy Feet

Elijah Wood, our friendly hobbit from Lord of the Rings, will show his feet in a new videogame: Happy Feet.

Warner Bros Interactive and Midway today announced the signing of a multi-territory publishing agreement to develop videogames based on Happy Feet, a comedy adventure scheduled for release in November 2006. The multi-platform deal includes games for console, handheld and PC platforms.

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 their 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!

"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 ."

The movie is currently scheduled for a release in November 2006 and we expect the videogames to be released somewhere near that time.

  It's probably yet another movie-cash-in: 2D cheap-platform or something alike. Although they've got 2 years to prove me wrong :)
