In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica, youre
nobody unless you can sing--which is unfortunate for Mumble, who is
the worst singer in the world. He is born dancing to his own
tune--tap dancing. Though Mumbles mom, Norma Jean, thinks this
little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it just aint
penguin. Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble
may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend,
Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria
have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles
with his strange hippity- hoppity ways. Mumble is just too
different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of
Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Away
from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly
un-Emperor-like penguins--the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the
Adelies instantly embrace Mumbles cool dance moves and invite him
to party with them. In Adelie Land, Mumble seeks the counsel of
Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will
answer any of lifes questions for the price of a pebble. Together
with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast
landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that by being
true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
