Happy Feet 2 (also known as Happy Feet 2 in 3D) is an upcoming feature film directed by George Miller the co-director of the original film, Happy Feet.[1] The film is being produced by Animal Logic Films[2] in Santa Monica, California, United States and Dr. D Studios in Sydney, Australia.

Other actors confirmed to reprise their roles are Carlos Alazraqui, Johnny A. Sanchez, Lombardo Boyar and Jeffrey Garcia as Nestor, Lombardo, Raul, and Rinaldo respectively.[3] It is currently unknown if the cast includes any of the other characters from the first film or who will voice them if they do. Actors Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman who together played Mumbles' parents Memphis and Norma Jean have yet to confirm any involvement with the film.
Brittany Murphy, the original voice actress of Mumbles' love interest Gloria, was set to reprise her role and begin recording sometime in 2010[4] but she died on December 20, 2009. Her character will possibly be recast. Singer Pink contributes a song while Brad Pitt and Matt Damon will be the "tiny krill" voices in the film[5].[6] Hank Azaria will also appear in the film.[7] Elizabeth Daily, who played young Mumble in the previous film, will play as a new character called Erik[8] and Sofía Vergara will also appear in the movie.[9]
