Happy Feet
In her first appearance, she is seen singing her heartsong "Kiss" but some of the males are trying to win her heart by singing their heartsongs but when Memphis shows up, he is seen singing his heartsong "Heartbreak Hotel".
When she and Memphis layed a egg after mating, she says Memphis good bye when she is leaving with the females to go fishing.
After the harsh winter, Norma Jean came back with the rest of the females to meet her son.
Later Norma Jean is seen with Miss Viola, discussing Mumble's lack of singing voice, along with advice to see if Mrs. Astrakhan is able to help.
She is also seen at Mumble's graduation ceremony, who is upset that Mumble isn't able to graduate, and throws a graduation party for Mumble instead with Memphis, who is relunctant to join.
When Mumble comes back from Adelie Land with the Amigos to share what he knows about the lean fishing season, she is also seen standing up for her son, despite Memphis' protests and crys to repent.
After Mumble is released from Marine World in Austalia and comes back to Emperor Land, Norma Jean is seen surprised, and later joyful. She also shows Mumble how her father was, and pushed Memphis to try dancing.
During the ending song, Norma Jean is seen dancing with Memphis, who got his "music back".
