Same with Mumble Happyfeet. Let them become adults!!! Let the people see them!

pigs get big!

It's all a conspiracy to make people believe teacup pigs are real

I just love the book, and how it describes this huge monster of a fully grown pig herding and guarding the sheep

how he has this goofy run that's much slower than a dog and everyone laughs at him

But he's polite and kind and fully committed to eating less and strengthening himself, all for the love of the farmer and his sheep

So despite it all he's a ferocious livestock guardian and an exemplary herder all in one animal.

there are several chapters where somebody comes after the sheep and he's just like "nope" and they run the hell away because he's a White Yorkshire and they can be like 800 pounds and seven feet long.

like, can you imagine a farmer just being able to whistle up a monster like that, and it just does whatever he wants?

Flawless.

And look

in the first Happy Feet movie, Mumble is the only penguin of his generation that has a realistic feathering pattern

baby emperor penguins keep much of their fluff for much longer than you'd think and they grow their adult feathers in under them before eventually shedding them out

oftentimes even having that fluff still on them when they go out into the world

but like

let him molt out

keep the little bowtie mark, why not it's cute, but let mumble be an adult-looking penguin

mr miller please

let my boy grow
