Plot
[edit]Kaskae is a polar bear that travels with his family across the Arctic Circle to give a speech to his family. Jak, the teenage troublemaker in the family, is given the task of looking after his little sister Kaia along with his older brother Zook. Hearing part of Kaskae's speech about reaching new heights, Jak rushes to the peak of the tundra with Zook trailing him. As soon as both brothers reach the top, Jak shoves Zook before they both slide down and crash their father's speech. The family then discovers an unattended Kaia dancing with a flock of Atlantic puffins. The other polar bears are not amused by the scene, as their kind are not supposed to socialize with the puffins, but Jak jumps in the water to join in the fun. Kaskae then orders everyone to be silent before he and the rest of the family jump in to play in the water.
