Happy Feet Two (2011)

Erik, son of Mumble and Gloria, can’t dance like the other penguins and feels out of place. He and his best friends, Bodicea and Atticus, follow one of Mumble’s friends, Ramón, leader of the Amigos, to Adélie-Land which is now being ruled by a flying penguin con artist called the Mighty Sven. After surviving the loss of his native fishing grounds due to his “miraculous” ability to fly, he hired another of Mumble’s friends, Lovelace (who was fired from his job as “Guru”) to be his partner. They tell the others they were saved by humans but fled to Antarctica after believing they’d be eaten. There Sven performs his first miracles by revealing moss to the locals & using his power of “Sven Think” to help Ramón find a mate, where after he instantly falls in love with Carmen, another Adélie, who is uninterested. Mumble, having followed the kids footprints, orders them to come home. After encouragement from Sven, the children leave.

Meanwhile, Will, an adventurous and existentialist krill is determined to discover what lies beyond the swarm. His best friend, Bill, reluctantly follows to ensure his safety. Once separated from the swarm they realize that they’re at the bottom of the food chain. Will attempts to “move up the food chain” by eating another creature while Bill believes he’s going crazy. Mumble tells Erik he’s unique and that he’ll someday find his calling, but Erik is still enthralled with Sven. While trying to cross a perilous ice bridge an Elephant Seal, Bryan the Beach Master and his two sons, refuse to let the penguins pass. An argument results in Bryan getting trapped below ice. Mumble lures a leopard seal to chase him into the ice, freeing Bryan and earning his respect. Erik however attributed the successful rescue to his attempt at using “Sven Think”, devastating Mumble.
