What in hell? - In which I read far too much into a kids' movie

Okay, Happy Feet? The cute dancing penguin movie? Totally a Gnostic fable. I know, they make it look like it's about aliens and acceptance and everything, but the strict penguin elders totally give it away. They gave a couple of them jewish accents, so they're clearly meant to be the Pharisees, which makes the protagonist a Christ-figure. But he doesn't die; instead he's banished and goes on a journey of enlightenment, eventually bringing news of higher beings, and a means of salvation. He redeems the people from their blind, sinful ways (singing is everything), and shows them the true means to prosperity (dancing makes people give you fish). He spurns the pleasures of the flesh in order to pursue his true, divine calling! His time spent in the zoo parallels some Gnostic accounts of the resurrection (only with more bumping into glass). I guess the rock-hopper penguins are the gentiles, or something, which relates to schisms in early Christianity about whether one first had to be kosher in order to be saved.

..I'm starting to believe that there may indeed be such a thing as too much education.
