What will surprise children is that even after more than a decade later, Walter the Tortoise (Glover) and Murray the Hare (Leno) are still fierce competitors.
When Walter and Murray hear about the upcoming Mt. Impossible Nature Adventure Race, they can't resist the opportunity to challenge each other to a rematch! This time they enlist their children to be their teammates, but the kids don't share their parents' competitive nature. When Walter and Murray get separated from their kids, the two dads must team up to find them and learn there are far more important matters than winning a race! (source)
