MUMBAI: Elijah Wood and Robin Williams are in negotiations to play thei respective roles as lead voices in Happy Feet 2, Warner Bros.‘ sequel to Village Roadshow‘s 2006 Oscar-winning animated hit. George Miller will again occupy the director‘s chair.

While Wood will play Mumble, the penguin who can‘t sing but can dance the tuxedo off of any waddler around him, Williams will essay the role of the hyper-acting and wise-cracking penguin Ramon.

 The actors will travel to Australia in late January/early February to record the voice tracks.

The original film grossed almost $198 million at the domestic box-office and won a slew of awards.
