Animated comedy featuring the voices of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams
and Brittany Murphy. Emperor penguins have lived for centuries with
one simple goal in life: to find their soulmates through their own
unique heart song. Mumble (Elijah Wood), son of Memphis (Hugh
Jackman) and Norma Jean (Nicole Kidman), is the worst singer in the
world but he is a brilliant tap dancer. Unfortunately in Antarctica
his toe-tapping talent is deemed peculiar and poor Mumble is
branded an outcast by the Emperor Elders and is even accused of
causing the mysterious fish famine which is gripping the penguin
community and threatening their way of life. Mumble decides to
leave his family and goes on a journey to determine the real cause
of the fish famine so he can prove his innocence. All adrift in a
lonely hostile world, he meets The Amigos, a wise-cracking comedy
crew of Latino Adelie penguins led by Ramon (Williams), who think
Mumble's smooth dance moves are 'accidentally cool' and a great way
to impress the chicas. The Amigos help him realise the importance
of being true to oneself and that being unique is a good thing.
Mumble uses courage, determination and, of course, his 'happy feet'
to discover the truth, save Emperor Land and win the heart of his
soulmate, Gloria (Murphy).
The most peaceful years of Austin Miller's life were before he
married. Only he, Sophia and her mother, Elizabeth, were in the
house. After his marriage, the house became a hotbed of chaos
fueled by overzealous attitudes and unyielding temperaments. His
marriage had been strained by adultery, and after it had been
patched, they were separated by the war. Sophia's best friends were
three white girls that she grew up with. When seen by someone that
did not know them, they would assume that all four were white. The
color of their skin would not be enough to tell that one had a
trace of black blood in her veins that made her a slave. Appearing
to be white did not make a person white, and being black had its'
limitations. Yet, in a small southern town in Tennessee, Sophia
ignored the social code regarding interracial relationships. Seeds
of Magnolia unveils some of the stories that have been sheltered by
the family-stories that have been kept in the closet, swept under
the rug, or just gone untold.
Carly is 11 years old and lives with her grandfather on a 200-acre
Virginia farm while both parents serve in the military overseas.
She loves the farm, and befriends all of the animals including a
sneaky red fox that stalks her grandfather's prize chickens. Her
best friend is her pony, Monroe, who shares her enthusiasm for
adventure. Carly's constant dream is to ride with the Riverdale
Hunt Club that passes through her grandfather's property. On one
particularly rainy Saturday, Carly watches from her front porch as
the finely dressed ladies and gentlemen ride to the hounds. Later
in the day, Carly finds out that a young hound named Hampton has
become lost and Carly is determined to find him and by so doing
endear herself to the hunt's Master; perhaps to be asked to ride
Monroe in an upcoming meet. Carly enlists the help of her friend,
Freddie, but the adventure is just beginning. Carly, Monroe,
Hampton and the red fox have no idea what dangers await them.
Robert Allison "Bob" Wade (1920-present) and H. Bill Miller
(1920-61) penned their novels using the joint pseudonym of Wade
Miller.Orson Welles' noir classic Touch of Evil was adapted from
their novel, Badge of Evil. In Murder - Queen High, Barselow was
used to having his orders obeyed in Azure City. But when he gave
orders that the Queen must be found, he ran into unexpected
opposition. For there were others determined to find the Queen . .
.Determined to risk their sanity, their very lives, to find her.
There was Faye Jordan - she of the sensuous figure and the mind to
match. And there was Mr. Trim - the fabulous Mr. Trim . . . There
was John Henry Conover, and the curvy, swervy girl called Sin, who
had other things on their minds until a wounded mobster burst into
their cottage and forced then to join the hunt. And when the waiter
brought them the Queen of Diamonds instead of the tab at lunch the
next day, they knew they were playing for keeps.
