Transported to a different reality through the portal of the magical Penguin Café, two children must embark upon a fantastical quest to find their way home in time for Christmas. With a charming penguin waiter as their guide, they travel across the Antarctic, into the rainforest, over the desert and beneath the ocean, meeting a colourful cast of dancing animals with one thing in common – they are all in danger of extinction. And they need the children’s help.
