Happy Feet is a Horror Movie #shorts

Why is Happy Feet so scary? #didyouknow #throwback #childhood #scary

[H_Noc]

As a kid I always wondered why nobody else was as terrified as I was when watching this film

[Crakinator]

The scariest thing about the orca scene is that 1. they’re playing with their food, and 2. unlike every other creature in the movie, they never speak

[royhay]

Being scared of dark bodies of water isn't an irrational fear — it's extremely rational

[zupacup]

At least they did the realistic penguin better than any disney remakes

[man.]

Penguins generally live in a horror movie 🗿

“What kind of sick bastard tried to sell this as a kids film?”
It’s directed by the guy who made the Mad Max films

[jxero]

the fact that so many ppl are scared from diff scenes in this movie goes to show how real this movie is when it comes to reality, ppl don’t wanna face it

[Ciarax]

Dude the part where he’s in a zoo psychologically FUCKED ME UP. How he slowly went insane and lost himself really stuck with me. Anytime I recollect the memory of that scene I feel a deep dread in my stomach…thanks for unlocking this memory for me 😭✌️

[harveyweaver]

The true horror comes when he’s first “rescued” by the humans and is brought into a zoo. That was straight up disturbing and has always stuck with me

[jallerxzl]

Reminder that supposedly, the original script was going to be cosmic horror and a penguin constellation of a deity that birthed the penguins and reality itself

[faeriesin]

Don't forget the humans portrayed as an unknowable eldritch force that never gets explained to the characters

[jamescuttler]

Maybe kids used to be a lot tougher because I loved that as a kid and never once thought of it as a horror or even remotely scary

[abc.animal]

Happy Feet is a beautiful yet strange movie. I love penguins.

You having a fear of things floating in water?
The rubber duck : 😏

[Sivuna]

I always thought it was because it didn’t try and sugar coat the experiences, this is what penguins actually go through, and its shown in all the gritty detail.

Leopard seals in general are straight up nightmare fuel

[tionnam]

I was not terrified. Watched a lot of animal planet and just saw it as animals being animals

The excavator and little doll sinking in to the water is what causes my light fear of dolls and light submechanophobia.

The You sick bastard bit got me laughing
