22 songs in the Soundtracks; 2 from Queen and 1 from Puccini:Tosca with English lyrics relevant to the story, among others.
Although SG is listed for Mumble, the focus of this film is more on Erik, Mumble's son. Mumble dances a couple of times; good stuff.
Brad Pitt as Will Krill gets a lot of good lines in a separate story line with straightman Matt Damon as Bill Krill.
The story feels a bit preachy (environment) for a while, but nothing is attributed to global warming, but a featurette on the dvd sure does. Good stuff about character, truth vs. lies, and keeping promises.
