As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around.
Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity-hoppity" ways.
Mumble is just too different; especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of the colony, who ultimately casts him out of the community.
Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a group of different penguins—the Adelie Amigos.
Led by Ramón, the Adelies instantly accept Mumble's tap-dancing skills and invite him to party with them.
In the home of the Adelies, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a Rockhopper penguin who claims he will answer any of life's questions for the price of a pebble.
In their conversation, Lovelace mentions "aliens," which interest Mumble as he finds a frozen vehicle in a glacier.
He decides to find the "aliens."
Returning home, Mumble and his friends find Gloria in the center of attention as her "Heartsong" is very attractive to the other penguins.
However, she is not interested in the other males' "Heartsongs", but is excited when Mumble persuades her to sing in time with his tap-dance rhythm.
The other penguins become interested and begin dancing.
However, Noah the Elder feels that the recent lack of fish, the penguins' main food, is a punishment sent from their god in order to punish them for allowing Mumble's dancing.
He therefore exiles Mumble from the colony, but before he leaves, Mumbles tells them that he will find the real cause of the famine.
With Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble travels many miles and through many obstacles, which include an attack by killer whales.
Finally, they see a lot of commercial trawlers, ships that are fishing in the Antarctic waters, and Mumble follows them.
Eventually, he is caught and put on display in a marine park exhibit.
He attempts to communicate with the "aliens" (humans) who are surrounding him, but fails.
After nearing going mad with the confinement, a small child taps on the glass of his enclosure.
Mumble is excited and begins tap-dancing.
After a large crowd gathers to watch him, he is released back to the wild with a tracking device and leads the humans back to his colony.
Later on, a research team arrives to study the penguins, and the humans discover they are overfishing the ocean, which had resulted in the lack of fish.
Fishing the Antarctic is banned, and the fish population returns and thrives.
In the end, the Emperors and Amigos are shown dancing and celebrating.

Pegasus (, Pégasos, 'strong') is a flying horse with wings in Greek mythology.
He is the son of Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa.
In cartoons and other stories, Pegasus was said to be the horse of the legendary hero Hercules.
The Pegasus is a white horse with wings that can fly.
It is very beautiful, and can only be controlled with a golden bridle given to Bellerophon by Athena.
Long ago, Perseus killed the monster Medusa using a reflective shield and winged sandals.
He cut off her head, which had the hair of poisonous snakes and was so ugly it would turn to stone anyone who looked at it straight on, and from her blood sprang the winged horse Pegasus.
Some stories say that Perseus rode Pegasus away, but other stories say he left before Pegasus was born.
Years later, there was a young man named Bellerophon, living in Corinth.
Bellerophon had always longed to ride Pegasus, but Pegasus refused to be tamed.
Bellerophon decided to pray to Athena, who was the Greek goddess of wisdom.
Athena gave him a golden bridle that allowed him to capture Pegasus.
Later, the brother of a king sent Bellerophon on a quest to defeat the Chimera, a legendary beast with the head of a lion that breathed fire, a goat’s head sprouting from its back, and the tail of a snake.
Together, they defeated it and Bellerophon was honored.
Then Bellerophon decided he wanted to be immortal and tried to fly with Pegasus to Mount Olympus, home of the gods.
Zeus, angry, sent a gadfly to sting Pegasus, who bucked Bellerophon back to Earth.
After Pegasus left Bellerophon, he sired children by horses, and produced offspring, Pegasi.

The Zanskar Range is spread over a vast area from southeastern boundaries of the state of Kashmir and extends in the northwest direction to the eastern limits of Baltistan.
It separates Ladakh from the valleys of Kashmir and the Chenab River.
In other words it serves as a boundary line between Ladakh region of Kashmir and the remaining two regions of the state i.e. Jammu region and Vale of Kashmir.
23000 feet high peak Nunkun is within this range.
Marbal Pass and many other passes which connect Ladakh with Kashmir are in this area, 13000 feet high Zojila Pass is in the extreme northwest of Zanskar range.
This range, in fact is a branch of the great Himalayan range of mountains.
Many rivers start in different branches of this range flow northward, and join the great Indus River.
These rivers include Hanle River, Khurna River, Zanskar River, Suru River (Indus), and Shingo River.
It also separates Kinnaur from Spiti in Himachal Pradesh.
The highest peaks of Himachal are in Zanskar range.
The Karakoram is a Mountain range in Asia.
The name is from a Turkic word meaning back gravel.
It is mainly located in China, India, and Pakistan.
Parts of the range extend into Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan.
Many of its mountains are in the regions of Gilgit-Baltistan, Ladakh, and Xinjiang.
It is the second highest mountain range in the world.
The Karakoram is part of a complex of mountain ranges that also includes the Himalaya, Hindu Kush, and Pamir ranges.
The range has eight mountains with tops over  high.
Four of these are higher than .
They are K2, Gasherbrum I, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum II.
K2 is the world's second highest peak.
The range is about  long and it covers a tract about  broad.
Karakoram separates the State of Kashmir from China, and South-central Asian States.
It also protects Kashmir from the extreme cold winds of Siberia.
There are over 300 peaks with an elevation between  and  high.
Karakoram is the most glaciated part of the world outside the polar regions.
Glaciers cover about 28-50% of the mountains in the range.
This is much higher than the Himalayan average of 8-12%.
Some of the famous glaciers are the Siachen Glacier ( long) and Biafo Glacier (long).
These are the second and third longest glaciers in the world, outside the polar region.
Many hilly lakes and hot-water springs are also located in Karakoram.
The valleys are sources to many rivers and streams which drain in the Indus River.
The  high Karakoram Pass connects Kashmir with the Central Asian states.
It is considered to be a historical route.
Shaksgam Pass, Aghil Pass, and Khunjerab Pass are also in this range of mountains.

The Sulaiman Mountains (; Balochi/Urdu/), or the Kesai Mountains are a major feature of southeastern Afghanistan (Zabul, most of Loya Paktia and northeastern Kandahar province), South Waziristan, and most of northern Balochistan province of Pakistan.
They are one of the bordering ranges between the Iranian Plateau and the South Asia.
Bordering the Sulaiman Range to the north are the arid highlands of the Hindu Kush Range, with more than 50 percent of the lands there lying above 2,000 m (6,500 feet).
The Sulaiman Range, and the high plateau to the west and southwest of it, helps form a natural barrier against the humid winds that blow from the Indian Ocean, creating arid conditions across Southern Afghanistan to the north.
In contrast, the relatively flat and low-lying Indus River Delta is situated due east and south of the Sulaiman Mountains.
This lush delta is prone to heavy flooding and is mostly uncultivated wilderness.
There are very few plants on the southern slope.
In the central part, there are wild olives, pistachios and orchards of apples and cherries, as well as wild almonds and junipers.
Ziarat District is a tourist attraction, famous for its large juniper forests.

The Toba Kakar Mountains are a Southern offshoot of the Himalayas in the Balochistan region of Pakistan.
The historical route through the mountains is known as the Bolan Pass, and though the mountains are sometimes inaccurately referred to as the "Brahui Mountains", Brahui is the term for an ethnic group that lives in the region, and their language.
The Ladakh Range is a segment of the Karakoram Range, that extends southeastward for 230 miles (370 km) from the mouth of the Shyok River in the Ladakh region to the Tibetan/Chinese border.
With a crest line of about 20,000 feet (6,100 m), the range parallels the northeast bank of the Indus River.

Associative property is a property of mathematical operations (like addition and multiplication).
It means that if you have more than one of the same associative operator (like +) in a row, the order of operations does not matter.
For example, if you have , there are two plus signs (+) in a row.
This means we can add it in either this order:
Not all operations are associative.
Subtraction is not associative, which means:
Disney's Nine Old Men were a group of animators who were very important names for Disney.
They made many important works of Disney, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Fox and the Hound.
Although the men of the group were all young, Walt Disney called them Nine Old Men as a reference to Franklin D. Roosevelt calling the US Supreme Court nine old men.
Les Clark (November 17, 1907 - September 12, 1979), who joined Disney in 1927.
He was best known for  animating Mickey Mouse as he was the only one of the Nine Old Men to work on that character from its start with Ub Iwerks.
Les did many scenes throughout the years, animating up until Lady And The Tramp.
He moved into directing and made many animated featurettes and shorts.
Ollie Johnston  (October 31, 1912 - April 14, 2008), who joined Disney in 1935, first worked on Snow White.
He went on to write the animator's book The Illusion of Life with Frank Thomas.
His work included Mr. Smee (in Peter Pan), the Stepsisters (in Cinderella), the District Attorney (in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad), and Prince John (in Robin Hood).
The book The Disney Villain, written by Johnston and Frank Thomas, says that Johnston also worked with Thomas on making characters such as Ichabod Crane (in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) and Sir Hiss (in Robin Hood).
Frank Thomas (September 5, 1912 - September 8, 2004) joined Disney in 1934.
He went on to write the animator's book The Illusion of Life with Ollie Johnston.
His work included the wicked Stepmother (in Cinderella), the Queen of Hearts (in Alice In Wonderland), and Captain Hook (in Peter Pan).
Wolfgang "Woolie" Reitherman  (June 26, 1909 - May 22, 1985) joined Disney in 1935 as an animator and director.
He directed all the animated Disney movies after Walt's death until his retirement.
Some of his work includes the Crocodile (in Peter Pan), the Dragon (in Sleeping Beauty), and the Rat (in Lady And The Tramp).
John Lounsbery  (March 9, 1911 - February 13, 1976) started in 1935 and, working with the name Norm 'Fergy' Ferguson, quickly became a star animator.
Lounsbery, known as 'Louns' by the animators he worked with, was a strong draftsman whose work helped many animators over the years.
His animation was noted for its squashy, stretchy feel.
Lounsbery animated Ben Ali Gator in Fantasia; Father in Peter Pan; Tony, Joe, and some of the dogs in Lady And The Tramp; The Kings in Sleeping Beauty; The Elephants in The Jungle Book; and many, many others.
In the 1970s, Louns became a Director and co-directed Winnie The Pooh And Tigger Too and his last movie, The Rescuers.
Eric Larson  (September 3, 1905 - October 25, 1988) joined in 1933.
One of the top animators at Disney, he animated well known characters such as Peg in Lady And The Tramp; the Vultures in The Jungle Book; Peter Pan's flight over London to Neverland; and Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear (in Song of the South).
Because of the way he could train new talent, Larson was given the job to spot and train new animators at Disney in the 1970s.
Many of the top talents at Disney today were trained by Eric in the '70s and '80s.
Ward Kimball (March 4, 1914 - July 8, 2002) joined Disney in 1934.
His work includes Lucifer, Jaq and Gus, (in Cinderella), and the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat (in Alice in Wonderland).
His work was often more 'wild' than the other Disney animators and was very unique.
Milt Kahl (March 22, 1909 - April 19, 1987) started in 1934 working on Snow White.
His work included Shere Khan (in The Jungle Book), Edgar the butler (in The Aristocats), the Sheriff of Nottingham (in Robin Hood), and Madame Medusa (in "The Rescuers").
Marc Davis (March 30, 1913 - January 12, 2000) started in 1935 on Snow White, and later he went on to work on the characters of Bambi and Thumper (in Bambi), Maleficent and the raven (in Sleeping Beauty), and Cruella DeVil (in One Hundred and One Dalmatians).
Davis also did character design for both the Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion attractions at Disneyland.
By the time Robin Hood was released, only four of the Nine Old Men were still animating at Disney.
They were Milt Kahl, John Lounsbery, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, although Eric Larson and Wolfgang Reitherman were both working for Disney, but not as animators.
Lounsbery died in 1976, Kahl retired the same year and died in 1987.
Thomas and Johnston retired in 1978, and both later enjoyed cameo appearances in the Brad Bird-directed movies The Iron Giant (Warner Bros., 1999) and The Incredibles (Pixar, 2004).
Thomas died shortly after that, in 2004, leaving Johnston as the last living "Old Man."
He died on April 14, 2008.
