IGN Film Force recently caught up with the manic genius known as Robin Williams and talked with him about his new animation film entitled “Happy Feet.”

Williams will lend his voice to three different characters in the feature. Actually, I don’t know why directors wouldn’t just turn Robin loose and do all the characters in every animation film made. I don’t believe it would pose much a problem for the multi-talented actor, and would be a real treat for his fans.

“I do three different characters…” Williams offered. “One is an Argentenian Gilly penguin who is, [in his best Argentenian voice], like this, very powerful but very small as you will see from the World Cup.”

“One is like a Barry White kind of penguin who has a six-pack ring around his neck, but he treats that as a magic love tokens… And another is kind of a big elephant seal named Cletus. He’s big and not that bright.”

“But it was a blast to do, because it’s George Miller. It’s basically Riverdance meets March of the Penguins. There are huge musical numbers, big dancing numbers. One group of penguins, the one penguin, they sing like the Emperor Penguins sing, and they do that in real life. Their mating is based upon singing. Gilly Penguins, like the Argentinians, they’re mating is based upon giving pebbles or little penguin bling. Look baby!”

The flick also has a serious undertone to it. “….it’s kind of the idea of this new transition combined with trying to survive in the Antartic, which is melting…”

Another topic for discussion was the possibility of Williams portraying The Joker in the sequel to Batman Begins. Williams joked a bit over that possibility but made no real committed statement either way on the truth of the rumor other than to say, “Oh God, I’d love to do that one.”
