A doting panda bear mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence . A two-year-old golden snub-nosed monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts .

Synopsis : DreamWorks Animation and the director of Madagascar invite you to meet a most unusual baby .
