Question by player hosertodd

Answer: Hitler

In the movie "The Boys From Brazil" escaped Nazis were experimenting in the jungles of South America. A doctor (Gregory Peck) inserted clones of Hitler into several women who gave birth to baby Hitler clones. These babies were sold to childless couples in civilized countries (United States, Canada, Great Britain, etc) so that each boy could grow up in a similar environment to what had happened to Hitler.

It so happened Hitler's father was much older than his mother, and that was the same for each couple with a Hitler baby.

When Hitler was a certain age, his father died, so Nazis were traveling around the world killing the adopted fathers of the Hitler clones.

Answer: Happy Feet

'Happy Feet' is a musical animated comedy film about singing and dancing penguins. The main character is a young emperor penguin named Mumble, who is unable to sing due to the fact that his father dropped him (when he was still in his egg) during the harsh Antarctic winter. Mumble makes up for this disability by learning to tap dance instead.

The film then follows his attempts to woo a beautiful penguin named Gloria, despite the fact that he is unable to sing to her. Robin Williams provided the voice for one of Mumble's best friends - an Adelie penguin named Ramón - as well as a rockhopper penguin named Lovelace and an elephant seal called Cletus.
