The Treatment

NOTE

Mad Max and Happy Feet are the same story

Both Mad Max and Happy Feet embody the theme of an outsider striving to connect with their community. The protagonists in these narratives, while different in demeanor—Mumble being optimistic and Mad Max a reluctant, jaded hero—serve as agents of change within their respective wastelands. They navigate vast, desolate environments and, through their unique skills and courage, initiate shifts in their worlds, reflecting classic hero myths. The underlying structure reveals that disparate stories can share profound similarities in character arcs and thematic elements.
