Maurice is a minor character from Happy Feet and Happy Feet: The Videogame. He is a male emperor penguin who is the father of Gloria, the grandfather of Erik, the father-in-law of Mumble, and the mate of Michelle. He is also friends with Memphis, Mumble's father. Not much is known about him since he has one of the fewest lines in the movie. He is voiced by Dee Bradley Baker.
Personality
His personality appears to be straightforward yet strict. He is quick to reprimand his daughter, such as when she asked to keep the egg Mumble was in and named him Mumble when he did hatch, Maurice called out to her both times. He and his mate Michelle also prevented Gloria from stopping Mumble from leaving after his exile. This shows he is a traditionalist (along with Memphis and the Elders) and does not approve of Mumble's dancing, maybe due to the difference in status between them, though he and Michelle likely redeemed at the end of the movie.
Appearance
He looks similar to all of the other penguins, except he appears to be older. He has light brown drooping eyes, which look extremely tired.
