Here's the story of Mumble, the penguin that can't sing. When still an egg, Mumble's father, Memphis, drops him for a short while and because of that Mumble can't sing. As he grows, his parents worry that Mumble will never find his soulmate, as soulmates are chosen on the basis of their Heartsong. Growing up, he has only his parents and his friend, Gloria, to turn to. After a series of mishaps one day, he is brought to a new colony where three Amigos befriend him.
When Mumble returns, it is mating season, and he succeeds in attracting Gloria and starts tap dancing with the rest of the penguins following him. However, the group's elders frown upon it and see the lack of fish to be a punishment for dancing and banish Mumble.
Mumble is determined to get to the root of the problem. He follows a huge fishing vessel and is finally sent to a zoo, where her tries to communicate, after a long period of inactivity, by tap dancing. He catches their attention and he is let to go back to his colony. When he reaches his colony, all of the other penguins start dancing together and the humans transmit this surprise and everyone come together to discuss what this could mean. Finally the humans decide never to fish in the area and the penguins are left free to their food.
A very cute story - of course with Jackman as one of the voices singing, little doubt could be present on whether the characters would be attractive! Although the story was flowing well, I just couldn't see the connection between penguin tap dance and leave my colony food theory. But other than that, an interesting story in comparison to many of the boring ones that get released out there.
