|---|
This movie is the tale about a young tap-dancing penguin and his adventures in Antarctica. This movie is also known as "The Kingdom". This movie covers Genres Action/Adventure, Kids/Family, Musical/Performing Arts and Animation. This movie is rated PG for some mild peril and rude humor. Filming Location was Australia and Produced in United States.
Deep in Antarctica exists the great nation of Emperor Penguins. You need to know how to sing if you want to be popular but unfortunately Mumble cant sing in fact he is the worst singer in the world. Mumble have an extraordinary gift of tap-dancing. Mumble is a born dancer, he dance to his own tune.
Norma Jean Mumble's mom thinks this little habit of tap-dancing is cute, whereas Mumble's dad called Memphis says it "just ain't penguin." Mumble's parents both knew that without knowing how to sing Mumble wouldn't
be able to find true love.
Gloria is the best singer around and she is Mumble's friend, they both have a connection from the moment they hatch but Mumble is just too different. Gloria struggles with Mumble's strange ways, Mumble is strange and different especially for Noah the Elder. Noha is the strict leader of Emperor Land. Noha finally casts Mumble out of his community.
Away from his home Mumble meets a gang of absolutely different penguins un-Emperor-like, the Adelie Amigos is Led by Ramon, the Adelies immediately embrace Mumble's cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In the land of Adelie Land Mumble try to find the counsel of Lovelace the Guru. Lovelace the Guru is a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin he answers any of the questions for the cost of a pebble.
Mumble joins Amigos and Lovelace on their journey sets out across vast landscapes and after some epic encounters learns a valuable lesson that you can make all the difference in the world by just being true to yourself. This movie is better then I thought it would be even better the "March of the Penguins". Jokes are pretty funny and Robin Williams is hilarious.
