Plot

Template:Spoiler The film follows Hubie, a young penguin desperate to impress a female. He must present his special pebble to her before the pebble festival is over, or lose his chance forever. Hubie just manages to pluck up the nerve when the evil Drake knocks him off the ice, and he is swept away. Picked up and caged by a ship, he meets the streetwise Rocko, whose only wishes are to live in sunny climates and learn to fly. Together they escape, and Hubie convinces Rocko to help him find Antarctica. When they reach the home ice, Hubie must defeat his worst enemy, and Rocko must face up to the reality of his dream of flying.
