Exploring an unlikely friendship between two iconic animals, this is the story of polar opposite characters meeting for the first time, getting to know one another, and learning how to survive in a world that is melting beneath their paws and flippers. With stunning visuals, catchy music, and a powerful message, this is a must-see for the whole family.
