CGI-based movies such as Happy Feet often take 2 or more years to make, which is why they often will come out with games on multiple platforms. It is noteworthy to mention that the Hollywood Reporter stated in an article that this is the first PSP title ever to ship day and date with a major motion picture -- we should be glad to see a title at all, I guess!
