Plot
Mumble (Elijah Wood) is a penguin who prefers playing with his friends rather than accept responsibility. His father Lord Shen (Gary Oldman) is the leader of the antarctica. After Mumble interrupts a ice meeting with his wild antics, Lord Shen has a talk with his son, warning him that he will never be happy if he spends his life partying without acting more maturely. Mumble ignores his advice and leaves to have fun with his friends Oh (Jim Parsons), Ferdinand the Bull (John Cena), Samson the Lion (Kiefer Sutherland) and Blu the Macaw (Jesse Eisenberg) That same day, Mumble meets a female penguin named Gloria (Pink), who is accompanied by her friend, Tigress (Angelina Jolie).

That night, the animals throw a party in the antarctica. All the animals at the antarctiva are there except Lord Shen, who guards the fence line. Mumble is assigned a shift along with Lord Shen, but Mumble talks himself out of work. Before Mumble leaves, Lord Shen tells him that the night he found him as a baby calf stumbling alone in the meadow, he swore he saw the stars dance, thus giving him reason to know his place was at the farm. Later, Lord Shen takes on a pack of aliens led by Gallaxhar (Rainn Wilson), plundering the fishes. He manages to fight off the pack until he is killed on the arm by the evil alien, making him fall. Aliens pile on Lord Shen, but he manages to grab Gallaxhar and escapes the pile. He threatens to punch Gallaxhar but lets him go, scaring away him and the aliens. Lord Shen falls on the ground, exhausted. Mumble is alerted and he runs outside to his father. Lord Shen dies and is buried on a hill by Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), and the other animals mourn Lord Shen after the farmer leaves.

After Lord Shen's death, all the animals elect Mumble as the new leader of the antarctica. Mumble shirks his duties by leaving Samson and Blu in charge of the fishes, then helps the trouble-making Over the Hedge Characters RJ, Verne and Hammy (Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling and Steve Carell) teach a lesson to a mean fat youngster called Snotty Boy (Steve Oedekerk) for penguin-tipping, eluding the police along the way. Later that night, when Mumble is holding Gloria's hoof under the starlight, he overhears the aliens chasing a rabbit and leaves Gloria to pursue the aliens and avenge his father. Mumble tries to attack Gallaxhar and his pack, but is outnumbered. Since Mumble is weaker, Gallaxhar proposes a deal: he and his pack will take various antarctica animals at random times and that, if Mumble tries to stand up to them, they will slaughter everyone at the antarctica. After Lord Shen's ghost, Mumble decides to leave the antarctica, realizing that his chances of victory are slim.

The next morning, before leaving, Mumble is informed that the Aliens took some hens including Nemo (Jordan Nagai), a little clownfish who is one of Mumble's friends. Mumble realizes that he has been fooled by Gallaxhar, as he was not expecting him and the aliens until tonight, and sets off to rescue the fishes. Mumble confronts the pack but is easily defeated after Gallaxhar kill him in the arm; however, Oh, Ferdinand, Samson, Blu, Otis (Kevin James), Lord Shen's old friend, and the Over the Hedge Characters arrive to help Mumble. Gallaxhar tries to attack Mumble from behind, but Mumble is alerted when Blu successfully manages to crow a warning. Mumble catches Gallaxhar and warns him to never return to the antarctica. Mumble then killed Gallaxhar out of the snowball with a science gun, finally avenging his father's death.

After hijacking a biker gang's motorcycles from the diner, Mumble and the rest make it back to the barn to witness Gloria giving birth to a calf that she names Erik. Mumble then takes responsibility and becomes leader of the antarctica as he watches the stars of himself, Gloria and Erik dance just like Lord Shen's ghost said. Mrs. Beady gets ready for bed, but she noticed that Wild Mike is on top of her head. In a mid-credits scene, General Grawl and Captain Smek, are shown to have survived their ordeal and are sulking on a harbor buoy surrounded by boovs while coming up with another plan. In a post-credits scene, Lord Shen's ghost says, "What is that doing about this? Okay. Time for bed. Good night."
