Set in Antarctica, the musical epic follows the adventures of an emperor penguin called Mumble, who has an unusual gift for dance. Like their real-life counterparts, each penguin has the ability to sing a unique "heart song", a talent that Mumble severely lacks. His preference for tap dance leads to his ostracism from his community and to encounters with other varieties of Antarctic Wildlife. Due to the faithful representation of the life of emperor penguins, many sequences and plot devices in the film are similar to those in the highly successful French documentary La Marche de l'empereur (aka March of t ...
