Mumble is a male emperor penguin and the main protagonist in the Happy Feet franchise. He is the only emperor penguin who can't sing (although there is a chance that another penguin will be born unable to sing) but he can do a "tap-dance" called "Happy Feet". He is also known as Gloria's mate and Erik's father.

Appearance[]

When Mumble is born, he resembles a normal baby Emperor Penguin, except for having bright, blue eyes, as opposed to the brown eyes on everyone else.

During and after his encounter with the skua, he is seen with a clump of dark feathers on his neck that resemble a bow-tie. When he matures into a young adult, his baby feathers have failed to shed, but he has mostly molted near the end of the film. The yellow feathers on his neck resemble a bow-tie as well.

In Happy Feet Two, Mumble regains his baby feathers. The reason for this is most likely to keep his trademark look.

His difference in appearance from other Emperor Penguins (along with his inability to sing) may be interpreted as birth defects since he was dropped as an egg.

Personality[]

Mumble is shown to be kind and friendly, as well as shy, but he can also be extremely brave when a situation calls for it. As a penguin that he is, he is a very fast swimmer, speeds up to 20+ mph from his powerful flippers as well.

This is shown when he retrieves a fish he caught for Gloria from several skua, and when he chases an alien ship into the unknown in hopes of finding the fish that are being taken from his home.

In Happy Feet Two, Mumble is very caring towards his new son, Erik, although the two have trouble seeing eye-to-eye and gaining each other's favour throughout the sequel.
Frustrated Mumble even yells at Erik at one point, which upsets Erik greatly. By the end of the film, though, the two seem to have resolved their conflicts.

In the fan fiction Mumble SquarePants, Mumbles Personality has been Changed, much to fit SpongeBob.
