![]() ![]() He is unique that he is the only emperor. He is Memphis and Norma Jean's son, Gloria's husband, Erik's father, and Ramon and Lovelace's best friend. I think that’s appropriate for the scruffiness and unkempt appearance of this cat (although, I assume he developed that later in life this name would have originally given solely because he was a brown tabby, and the fact he eventually looked rough like the teasel seed is just coincidence). Mumble Happy Feet is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Erik) of the Happy Feet franchise, serving as the main protagonist of the first movie, and the deuteragonist of its 2011 sequel. Reasons for this choice: this tom definitely deserves the suffix -whisker, and when teasel- represents a brown tabby, it’s because the teasel’s flower has died and left a rough-looking brown seed-cone. That’s saying something, and compared to that, Mumblefoot is honestly incoherent nonsense.Īlternative traditional name: Teaselwhisker. Even as an elder, he hunts successfully for himself. I think that reasoning is weak, and it’s not a good thing to name a cat.Įspecially not a cat like Mumblefoot who is clearly a good hunter. It’s impossible for feet to mumble (since feet can’t talk to begin with), but I’ll be incredibly lenient and suggest that it’s a slightly less direct approach and actually implies that Mumblefoot has fairly audible footsteps - in other words, he ‘slurs’ his steps, probably implying he’s clumsy. If mumble- correlates, it suggests either 1) mumbles with his feet, or 2) Erin Hunter was high as fuck, or 3) both of the above, somehow. Of course, this is hypothetical, since I don’t think it’s worth a name-change anyway.īut instead, this cat has -foot, which is just not applicable at all. His voice work has been featured in such animated films as Happy Feet (2006) and 9 (2009), as well as on television series including American Dad (2005) and. humans) being responsible for taking all the fish. Even if the kitten isn’t yet an apprentice, it is destined upon completing its training to be given the appropriate matching suffix - in this case, I’d think something like -throat or -tongue, something of that ilk. In the movie Happy Feet (2006), the young Emperor penguin Mumble is banished from his colony for voicing concerns about aliens (ie. A difficulty with verbal communication is a handicap, but cats communicate predominantly through body language, so I don’t think a cat with a speech impediment is the same thing as a cat with a missing tail or a damaged eye.Īlso, if the prefix indicates something out of the ordinary like that (an injury or disability), it must correlate. Furthermore, for him to be given this prefix as a kitten, I’d have to assume that he mumbled from birth (which is ridiculous, as kittens are deaf for a fair while after they’re born, so they’re not about to be talking sense anyway) - but I personally don’t think that’s a good enough reason for a prefix like that. To mumble means to speak indistinctly, so that it’s hard to understand you, but I can’t find anything at all that suggests this cat, Mumblefoot, had any kind of speech impediment or even a habit of mumbling. There’s a few things I just can’t understand about this name. First appearance: as an elder in Bluestar’s Prophecy. ![]()
