Mrs. Astrakhan

Short Biography

Mrs. Astrakhan is a character who appears in the movie, Happy Feet. She is portrayed as a large operatic penguin, much like the impression of opera singers today. She has a foreign, yet broken English, German-Russian accent; she pronounces her V's as W's and pronounces her 'ings' as a k, such as "Feelink, " "Darlink" or "Sink" and sometimes rolls her R's. After Miss. Viola suggests Mumble should see Mrs. Astrakhan, Mrs. Astrakhan is seen singing Ochi Cheryne (Dark Eyes, heard at 0:59 to 1:21 of video) which suggests it may be her heartsong.
