Happy Feet is no.1
It’s finally here! After all the years of hard work at Animal Logic. Happy Feet has finally been released in the US.
It’s opening weekend, it made $42M, battling Casino Royale to win top spot at the box office.
I spent 1.5 years at Animal Logic working on Happy Feet. Being the first movie I worked on, I was particularly excited and anxious for it to appear in the theaters. It was a weird feeling seeing all the big billboards, posters, and buses driving around with Happy Feet promotions on them all around LA.


The movie turned out great and Animal Logic did a fantastic job of putting it together. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of reward sitting in the theater and listening to people laugh and talk about how great a movie it was. It was nice to be part of something that can be so positive to so many people at one time.
I couldn’t help but get excited to see my first screen credit roll on the big screen (under Research & Development).
NOW GO OUT THERE AND WATCH IT!
Happy Feet opens in Australia December 26th.

Hey Yasser,
I’m not sure if you remember me - you worked for my Dad at ASVIC Engineering & Software in Newcastle a few years back…
My husband and I went to see “Happy Feet” last week. Watching the credits at the end, I recognised your name and got very excited (and I didn’t really know you!). I’ve since verified that it’s the same ‘Yasser Hamed’ via your blog and I’ve informed my Dad (Victor) - he too has been very impressed. Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your name pop up again at the cinema
