The character is already being likened and dubbed as the “Mickey Mouse of Asia”
The story revolves around Pororo and his friends going to the magical winter wonderland of Northpia to participate in the Super Sleigh Grand Prix where they will be pitted against other more experienced racers not to mention the brown bear team who would rather cheat in order to win. Along the way, Pororo and his friends learn the value of true camaraderie, loyalty and courage.

Locally, Pororo is well liked and lords it over its competitors in their timeslot during morning weekdays in Disney Junior and early morning weekends in GMA 7. The show even attracts teens and tweens aged 10 to 17 years old. The program has been a surefire bonding experience between parents and their young kids.
The movie which will be both in 3D and 2D digital formats will be a very good movie for the whole family.
