I have just watched this on the DVD, it is so Steve. It is a must see.

Aussie pal Irwin has spot on DVD

Crikey, Steve Irwin's role in Happy Feet has just been expanded.

"It is a little tribute to him," Happy Feet director George Miller says of paying homage to his fellow Australian, the late conservationist who rose to TV stardom with his flamboyant personality.

One of the extras on the new Happy Feet DVD is a two-minute cartoon, Mumble Meets the Blue Whale. The sequence originally was to be part of the film. Irvin had recorded the voice of an eco-activist albatross who interprets the whale's songs for an inquisitive Mumble.

"He did it willingly," Miller remembers of Irwin. "He was an incredibly passionate conservationist. He was definitely an eco-warrior. It wasn't just his rhetoric. He lived it. He would do anything and go anywhere to save an injured animal."

Irwin, whom Miller calls "one of the most amazing people who ever graced this planet," would also do anything for the film. So, when his albatross scene was cut, Irwin returned, a month before he died on Sept. 4, 2006, to record the voice of an elephant seal for a different scene that did make the cut.

The blue whale sequence, however, was partly animated. "So we decided to take that scene and finish it," Miller says now. "It's not much. But at least it's a little bit of Steve."

I just got this dvd and played it on the way home from school no one said a word and no fighting....what a great movie..I remember when Cat first saw it..she ended up clapping and so then did others

Thanks for remembering that! Yes, indeed I did! I was so moved at the end ..the message..the thoughts about Steve...I had tears running down my face...and without thinking I was going to do this...I stood up and started clapping! To my wonder and delight..so did the others! It was a magical moment! I felt others too heard the message and it made me feel so wonderful! It is the kind of moment that makes you know that there is goodness and people do care! My heart is smiling just thinking about it!

I am glad Cat..it sure calmed some older kids down fast!

It is a great film. Have you seen Open Season? I think that Steve would love it - the wild animals fight back against the hunters. WOOHOO!

Yes I have!! I am soooo glad they fight back..I would too

I think it is great that they are making these movies with a conservation message witin. It is a great way of showing children respect of animals.

I love watching Free Willy - I have watched all 3 of them and they still make me cry.

Have you seen Eight Below???? that makes me cry..I just cant watch it anymore

Yes, I have watched 8 Below - it is sad, it makes me cry when I watch it. I do like the way that he never gave up in getting back to his dogs.

I do too...remember his lead dog Mya?? that was just like our LaSabre in nature and coat texture...thats why I cant watch it. Max looked preety much like our Sapphire...they are both wth Steve

I have watched a few DVD's in the last couple of days and each one has reminded me of Steve. I could visualise Steve watching them saying 'go get them, mate'.

The DVD's I have watched are Evan Almighty, Garfild, A Tale of two Kitties and Surf's Up.

All three conveyed a message of hope and to never give up.

As God says in Evan Almighty 'Change one thing and the rest will follow'.
