Plot
The film is about Pororo, a little penguin and his animal friends, who love racing. Pororo and his friends imagine themselves racing. Eddy has Pororo try out his rocket snowmobile, resulting in Pororo causing an airplane crash with Toto and Mango who survive the crash. Pororo sees the Medal and Toto makes them run laps. Finally after Eddy fixes the airplane, Toto and Mango take off and Pororo and his friends hitch a ride to the city Northpia. They arrive at Northpia as a parade is going on. They register for the big snowmobile race the next day and go to the Milk Bar where they run into Toto. Fufu the bear bully crashes the party and threatens to take over Northpia and Pororo challenges him to a race. The next day, the big snowmobile race begins as Pororo and Petty get into their rocket powered snowmobile and they race against eleven rivals including the Two White Tigers and Fufu who race against each other.
