Curious by the mysterious new chick, several of the adult penguins wander over for a closer look at the camera. 
However it is one young emperor penguin chick, named Snow Chick that takes a particularly keen interest in his new four-wheeled friend.
The film closely follows Snow Chick as he grows up in the remote Antarctic, forced to endure freezing temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius and predators like snow leopards. 

'It is a tale full of drama and pathos as well as comedy and character - emotionally uplifting and intensely moving in equal parts and one that I am sure viewers will love,' said executive p­roducer John Downer.
