Happy Feet Two features the voice talents of Elijah Wood, Robin Williams, and Hank Azaria

Elijah Wood and Robin Williams are set to repeat their previous performances as Mumble, Ramon, and Lovelace and Matt Damon as Bill the Krill. Also set to work on the film are Carlos Alazraqui, Johnny A. Sanchez, Lombardo Boyar and Jeffrey Garcia as Nestor, Lombardo, Raul, and Rinaldo. No other actors have been confirmed as repeating their earlier performances.

Brittany Murphy, who originally voiced Mumble's love interest Gloria, was set to reprise her role and begin recording sometime in 2010, but her death on December 20, 2009 has rendered that impossible.

Hank Azaria has also signed on to play a new character. Elizabeth Daily, who played young Mumble in the previous film, will play Mumble's choreo-phobic son Erik and Sofía Vergara will also appear in the film as a new character.

The music of Happy Feet Two, a Warner Bros. Pricture movie, is delivered by Pink and John Powell.

Players must use their dance moves to recruit members with unique abilities, stun and defeat opponents and even manipulate the environment around them. This toe-tapping musical adventure, scored by the three time Grammy Award winning band Ozomatli, will get players into the penguin groove fall 2011 on Xbox 360, Playstation3, Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.
