In the Antarctic wilderness, every emperor penguin must find their mate by singing a “heartsong”. If a male and female penguin’s heartsongs match, the two pair up. But Mumble has a huge problem. He was born with an awful singing voice, but an incredible talent for tap dancing. When his colony begins to suffer the effects of a mysterious food shortage, Mumble sets out on a journey to discover what’s causing it, making a bunch of quirky friends along the way.
