metal brought a whole new term to heavy. it brought a symbol, a dance, and a mascot. bands like judas priest, iron maiden, metallica and many more. they can make you feel happy or angry at the world its your choice. not all metal is evil.

Happy Feet!


Penguins are generally known for their inate abilities of fishing. The movie “Happy Feet,” was directed by George Miller, produced by George Miller, Doug Mitchell, and Bill Miller, and written by Warren Coleman, John Collee, George Miller, and Judy Morris. This movie gives Penguins another strange ability: Dancing. The film begins with the knowledge that Penguins must sing a song and listen for a reply that interests them in order to find a soulmate. Norma Jean and Memphis go through this process and produce a child, Mumble. He is left in the care of Memphis, while Norma Jean goes for a fishing expedition. Memphis accidentally exposes the egg to the harsh arctic temperatures. The result is that when Mumble is born, his singing voice is terrible. However, he has an ability that none of the other Penguins have ever heard of: tampdancin. This is frowned upon by the villege elders, and mumble is ostracized by the rest of the villege, with only his mother and friend Gloria to turn to.
When he grows up to be an adult, he is still half-covered in fluffy down. Through a series of mishaps, Mumble ends up far from his home, and joins a coleny of adelie Penguins. He is finally accepted there. However, after he accidentally starts an avalanche, a long-frozen excavator is free. He is emmetiately curious, and set out to seek the strange alians behind the device.
Back at Mumble’s home, it is mating season. Gloria is the center of attention, but is uninterested in any suiters. Finally, Mumble persuades her to sing to his dance, and all the Penguins begin dancing. The elders are furious, and blame Mumble’s dancing for a shortage of fish in the arctic. He is exiled, and vows to find the real reason for the lack of food. He travvles with the Amigos, the group of adelie Penguins he’d been with earlier, as well as Lovelace, a self-worshipping rockhopper. Gloria offers him her help, but due to fear for her safety, he does whatever it takes to get rid of her. This mostly includes insulting her singing. Finally, he discovers that the humans are the cause of the fish-shortage, so he persuades them to go to the arctic, where they realize the harm they are having on the Penguins. The everyone begins dancing.
Penguins are wonderful animals, If I had one, I would build a huge swimming pool, and then invent a refrigeration unet for the pool.

Baboons!!


If there was any way possible that I could domesticate a wild animal then I would definately get a pet baboon! It would be soo awesome. We could live in the desert of California. My brother practically lives there anyways so we could just move right in with him! If I has a pet baboon, we would do nothing but chill. I wouldn't ever put him in a cage but I would have to tame him first of course. He would be the best dern baboon there ever was! He would be my all time best bud! You may know him from the Lion King? His name was Rafiki which means "my friend" in Swahili but I would just call him Fred! He appears to be a crazy old coot of a monkey on the surface but he is actually very wise believe it or not. We all need somebody to keep us sane in this world today!

Giraffes are the best!




Giraffes are a mangifcant animal. If I could have this as a pet, I would have so much fun. I would put him/her with my horses in the pasture. There necks may be long, but they could get under any obsticle. Also, a Giraffe is in the movie Madagascar. In the movie, he plays a giraffe in a zoo in New York. Him and his friends follow the zebra to the train station and then get caught. Once they are caught, they get put in boxes and turned out into the wild. They learn that friends should always help each other. Giraffes are cool and i wish i could get one.

Kangaroo


My animal is a kangaroo and if i could own a kangaroo i would keep it in a big backyard. The reason i picked a kangaroo was because i think it would be cool to ride on its back. Also they can jump really far and high. Did you know that a male kangaroo is called a boomer, a female kangaroo is called a flyer and a baby kangaroo is called a joey. Have you ever wondered how the kangaroos got there name well when European explores saw a strange animal hopping around they asked a native Australian what they were called. He answered "kangaroo" meaning i dont understand your question. So the explorers thought that was its name. And thats how the kangaroo got its name. Well my animal was on a movie called Kangaroo Jack and in the movie the kangaroo steals $50,000 dollars from two friends who had to deliver the money to Mr. Smith in Australia.

Pandarama!




Pandas ar cool, Everyone knows what panda's are. They've often been displayed by the media such as in summer blockbuster Kungfu Panda. In this movie Po the panda has to learn Kungfu to defeat the villian in the movie. It is a comedy movie for kids. Pandas would be cool to domesticate. I'd let it live in my room and feed it bamboo. If it maybe got trained enough I could get it to clean my room, Just kidding.:D. Well still pandas are pretty cool.

Sincerely,

Siberian Tiger






I would like to have a Siberian tiger as a pet because they are soft and beautiful. I would raise it from when it is born so it will be more easier to take care of. There is a movie called The Jungle Book that I'm sure almost everyone has seen, that has a tiger named Shere Khan in it. His role in the movie was to kill the little boy Mowgli. I think it would be fun to take care of a wild animal because it's something not alot of people have time to do. I would have time to tame and take care of a Siberian tiger because I like to take care of any animal at any time.
