This paper analyzes the Punjabi-dubbed version of Warner Bros.’ Happy Feet (2006). It explores the linguistic adaptations, cultural substitutions, humor localization, and reception among Punjabi-speaking audiences.

"Happy Feet" is a heartwarming animated movie that tells the story of Mumble, a young Emperor Penguin who loves to tap dance.
