A young penguin who is reluctant to dance must team up with a tufted puffin to save Antarctica from a giant wall of ice and snow.
The story
After the events of the first film, Erik, the son of Mumble and Gloria, cannot dance like the other penguins of Emperor-Land. He and his friends Bo and Atticus follow one of Mumble's friends, Ramón, the leader of the Amigos, to Adélie-Land. There, they meet its leader, the flying penguin con artist Sven, who, after surviving the loss of his native fishing grounds because of his ability to fly, partnered with Mumble's friend Lovelace. They tell the others that they were rescued by humans but fled to Antarctica after believing that they would be eaten.
