Custom image of Tom Hardy from Mad Max: Fury Road and Mumble from Happy Feet

The Big Picture With Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga still rolling its wheels in theaters, something that has crossed many minds lately is the range of George Miller's career. In less than ten years, he gave us an Oscar-winning animation with Happy Feet and one of our time's defining action movies with Mad Max: Fury Road. Since the first is a children's animation and the second is a high-octane action flick, it seems strange to think they come from the same person.

Release Date May 13, 2015 Director George Miller Cast Tom Hardy , Charlize Theron , Nicholas Hoult , Hugh Keays-Byrne , Josh Helman , Nathan Jones Runtime 120 minutes Main Genre Action Writers George Miller , Brendan McCarthy , Nick Lathouris , Byron Kennedy Tagline What a Lovely Day.

The Protagonists Both Follow the Same Mythical Role Close One of the most traditional storytelling structures in entertainment is the Monomyth, also known as the Hero's Journey, identified and studied by Joseph Campbell. This structure is nearly omnipresent, depicting a hero who hears the call to adventure, is hesitant to take it at first, but is then forced to go on the journey, and comes home a changed person.

The Movies Share Many Similarities in Terms of Style When Happy Feet was first released in 2006, and even when Happy Feet 2 followed in 2011, it wasn't widely discussed that it came from the mind of George Miller, the same person who created Mad Max. Back then, Fury Road was still a few years away, and the previous Mad Max movies didn't have the same style that Miller would go on to imprint upon the new ones, so establishing parallels was indeed a little more difficult.
