Synopsis: In the great nation of Emperor Penguins, deep in Antarctica,
you’re 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 Mumble’s mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little
habit is cute,
his dad, Memphis, says it “just ain’t 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 Mumble’s
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 life’s 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.
