An emperor penguin named Mumble must go on an epic adventure after being cast out of his homeland for being different. Mumble is a great dancer but a terrible singer, which will leave him without a mate and brings the wrath of the emperor penguin leaders who fear Mumble is causing their food to disappear.
Yes, this movie is as cute as you remember. A solid cast and great song choices, as well as a beautiful story, make this a treat for all ages. There is also a great message about being yourself (and also a sustainability message too!). While all of the cast are wonderful, the standouts are definitely the late Brittany Murphy with her wonderful voice and of course the amazing, late Robin Williams - every line he utters in both of his roles, as Ramon the Adelie penguin and Lovelace the Rockhopper penguin, will have you laughing.
Great Line: "Hello! I know size can be daunting but don't be afraid... I love you... I LOVE YOU!"
