In the cold land of Antarctica, the Emperor Penguins each express their true
love with a special heartsong of their own that expresses their very being.
However, the misfit Mumble cannot sing, but instead has an extraordinary
talent to tap dance with almost magical energy and expression.
Nevertheless, the deeply conformist leadership of the colony fearfully blames
the young penguin`s unorthodox ways for the lean fishing that threatens them
all. Defiant in the face of unjust rejection, Mumble and his true friends set out
to find the true cause of the famine. Through the motley crew`s trials and
perils, Mumble learns many things about his frozen world, not the least of
which being that his toe tapping talent may be what he needs to save his
people.
