The plot is an adult-oriented black comedy which exlores a wide number of themes, amongst them freedom, nature, tragedy, crime, greed, materialism, urban decay, drug abuse and animal cruelty. A large number of the characters in the film are from director Christopher Nielsen's dark humor-laden comic books.Free Jimmy was Norway's first computer animated film, and costing in excess of 120 million Norwegian kroner it is the second most expensive Norwegian film to date, behind Max Manus. Several British CGI studios were involved in the production of Free Jimmy, although the film was mostly a Norwegian production.

Happy Feet is a 2006 American-Australian computer-animated comedy-drama film with music, directed and co-written by George Miller. It was produced at Sydney-based visual effects and animation studio Animal Logic for Warner Bros., Village Roadshow Pictures and Kingdom Feature Productions and was released in North America on November 17, 2006. It is the first animated feature film produced by Kennedy Miller in association with visual effects/design company Animal Logic.Though primarily an animated film, Happy Feet does incorporate live action humans in certain scenes. The film was simultaneously released in both conventional theatres and in IMAX 2D format.[1] The studio had hinted that a future IMAX 3D release was a possibility. Unfortunately, that was not possible because Warner Bros., the film’s production company, was on too tight of a budget to release Happy Feet in IMAX digital 3D. Their previous release of The Ant Bully in IMAX digital 3D had cost the company a big amount of money, so they did not have too much to spare for Happy Feet. [2] Happy Feet won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and was nominated for the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature.
