[ethereal music]
[water trickling]
[gasps]
First one to the tower wins.
I'm going to win.
I'm the fastest.
Ha-ha, we'll see about that!
[peaceful music]
Woo-hoo!
The last one there
is a crusty old snail.
LULU: That leaves
a slimy old trail!
[giggles]
Swim, Lulu!
Don't just let the
current push you!
[laughs]
Hey, you just watch
where you're going.
[chuckles]
Hey, wait for me!
[laughs] You just
have to swim faster!
LULU: [giggles] Just you wait!
I'm going to catch you!
[snickering]
Aw!
Hey, that's not fair!
[giggling]
Ugh!
Huh?
Just give up.
You don't stand a chance.
[snickering]
Oh, yeah?
You think so?
[splash]
-Boo!
Ah!
[giggling]
You think you're funny, huh?
[chuckling]
[grunting] Hey!
Dream on, dude.
[laughs] I've already got this.
[pop]
[groans]
[laughing]
[groaning]
[grunting]
I did it!
[grunting]
[gong]
[blubbering] Oh.
[cheering]
Yeah!
Woo, woo!
All right!
Yeah!
Hey, minnow.
Huh?
Isn't it time
for your num num?
Mama.
[imitating baby] Mama.
[imitating baby]
What a twit.
Hey, leave him
alone, you sore loser.
[snickering]
Want to swim around?
I saw some herrings.
I'm not hungry.
I just saw Estelle.
She's as big as a blue whale.
If she's that big, she must
be about to give birth any day
now.
Aw, don't worry.
We'll know when she
is about to-- oh!
Hey!
Hey, you could at
least say excuse me.
KATAK: Sorry!
Not that it's
any of my business,
but shouldn't he have
turned white by now?
He appears to be
late in developing.
Ah, I see.
[somber music]
[seagulls calling]
He insulted Katak again.
Oh, but what are we
going to do about it?
Nothing, Marina.
So have you chosen a
name for the baby yet?
Not yet, no.
Hey, Katak.
You're, uh, back already?
[chuckling]
[sighs]
Grandma?
Grandma, are you awake?
Yes, come here and give me a
big hug before you turn white
and go off to live
with the males.
Mm.
[sighs]
What?
Whenever you let your
melon droop like that,
I know it means you're
upset about something.
Hm.
[sighing]
What's the matter?
I'm the same age
as Sim and Albi.
Why can't I go with them
and live with the males?
It feels like I'm going to stay
gray for the rest of my life.
Come on now.
You'll see.
When Estelle's baby is
born in a few weeks,
he'll become the
little gray one,
and he'll make us all go gaga.
[laughs] Even my mom?
Your mom will find that
you've grown so quickly
and that you're much older.
I sure hope so.
Mm.
Mm.
Mother, Estelle's
baby just moved.
Come and see.
[chuckling] That means
he'll be quite feisty.
Here, I can feel it.
He's kicking me with his tail.
Feel here, Grandma.
Aw.
[bird cawing]
2,080, 2,081, 2,082, 2,083,
2,084, 2,085, 2,086, 2,087,
2,088, 2,089, 2,090,
2,091, 2,092, 2,093--
Not that it's any of
my business, but one day,
he's going to suffocate.
Or lose consciousness.
[straining]
2,099, 2,100, 2,101, 2,102--
Whoa.
It's about time.
I was about to pass out myself.
[splashing]
[spraying]
[seagull calling]
2,104 seconds!
Wow!
Really?
SEALS: Bravo!
[barking]
Bravo!
I could have done better.
Hey, cousin.
You're king of
holding your breath.
ALBI: "King of
holding your breath."
Albi, we're going to the deep.
Woo-hoo!
Coming.
Ha-ha!
Hey.
You'll be going with them soon.
[foghorn]
[yelping]
Hey!
A floater's coming.
Everyone, follow me.
We have to stay in
the protected zone.
Come on, hurry!
Estelle's not here?
But I thought she
was with you, Naya.
Oh, Estelle!
Estelle!
Quick, we have to go back
into the protected zone!
Estelle!
Estelle!
Estelle, come back!
Estelle!
Estelle!
WHALE: Estelle!
[foghorn]
[grunting]
Naya!
Lulu!
I can't see anything!
Mama!
Mama!
[whale call]
Oh!
Estelle!
Over here!
Estelle!
Oh!
Oh!
My ears!
ESTELLE: Mama!
Huh?
Over there!
I see her!
Estelle!
I'm going to get her.
No, Katak!
It's too dangerous.
Even we don't go there.
But I'm not afraid!
Come on, Katak!
It's not about being afraid.
It's just too dangerous.
I'll get her.
[dramatic music]
But I'm going, too!
No, Katak!
Ah!
No!
Aw, but Mom!
Aw!
[foghorn]
[grunting] Eugh?
Mama!
Aw, crap!
[grunting]
Oh!
Ah!
Hang on!
[panting]
Oh, thank you, Albi.
If it wasn't for
you, I can't imagine
what would have happened.
GRANDMA: Oh, yes,
thank you, Albi.
NAYA: You gave us quite
the scare, Estelle.
Hey, if you need help, don't
give it a second thought.
Just give me a shout.
Ha-ha.
[clicks tongue]
ESTELLE: What bravery.
NAYA: You're my hero.
ESTELLE: That took
a lot of courage.
I would have saved
Estelle, too, you know.
I know.
You're so much
like your grandpa.
Have I ever told you the
story about your grandfather?
Again?
Yeah, but that's OK.
I love hearing
stories about him.
[laughs] Yeah, well, I
know this one by heart.
Oh, yeah, I've heard
that one over 1,000 times.
No one knows if any
of it is actually true.
Yeah.
Do you believe any of it?
Forget about them, Grandma.
I haven't heard it 1,000 times.
You can tell me the
story again if you like.
When I was young,
I heard tales
of a cruel killer
whale who terrified
all downriver, Jack Knife.
He had a dorsal fin that was
shaped like a switchblade.
He would kill all
the belugas that
dared to venture into
his territory, just
for his own amusement.
KATAK: He was a
real killer whale.
Yes, but one beluga
came out alive in a fight
with Jack Knife, Katak.
He had traveled south
from the great ice floe
and wasn't afraid of anything,
even the bloodthirsty killer
whale.
And-- and-- and-- and he
discovered his weakness,
and that's the
reason he survived!
Mm-hmm.
[whale calling]
He discovered that
Jack Knife was
sensitive to certain
high-pitched sounds.
He defeated Jack Knife,
but he was in rough shape
when he got here.
I was the one who
took care of him.
[ethereal music]
He spent the whole
summer here with me,
and a beautiful summer it was,
the most incredible summer
of my life.
I remember every moment.
Eventually, his wounds healed.
KATAK: You were really
in love with him?
Mm, yes.
[chuckles] And he
was in love with me.
He wanted me to return with
him to the great ice floe.
So then why didn't you go?
I didn't want to
leave my family.
He was far away
when I realized I
was carrying a beautiful baby.
He doesn't even
know my mom exists?
I hoped for so long he'd
find out and come back.
[seagulls calling]
[ethereal music]
[crying]
Poor Estelle.
Aw.
Why doesn't it ever work?
Each time a mother gets
pregnant, she loses the baby.
I want to have
babies, too, someday.
[sighs]
Oh, Mother really wanted
to see Estelle's baby.
It's what was keeping her alive.
What?
Are you worried she's
going to give up?
She no longer has a
reason to fight her illness.
I think she might
be leaving us soon.
Shh!
Lulu, you hear that?
Grandma's going to die.
I know.
But I don't want her to.
Me neither.
[sentimental music]
Hmm.
[sighs]
Katak!
Are you feeling
all right, Grandma?
[sighs] I feel very
old all of a sudden.
Grandma?
Grandma, I'm going to
go to the great ice floe
and bring back your love.
But it's a secret.
Don't tell anyone, OK?
Not even Lulu.
That's so sweet, Katak.
But it's much too far
and much too dangerous.
I can do it, Grandma.
Promise you'll wait for us.
Promise.
Mm, mm, mm.
[dramatic music]
[splashing]
[spraying]
Hey!
Huh?
You minnow.
Where are you going?
Get out of my way.
[growling]
Hm.
Hm.
[imitating baby]
[seagulls calling]
[screaming]
[crab clacking]
Well, as of right now,
there's no denying it.
We're on the brink
of extinction.
And pretty soon, there won't be
one beluga left in the river.
If only we knew why
it was happening to us.
It was the noise that
stressed out Estelle.
That's true.
Before, it was a lot quieter.
Does that mean we'll have
to move if it gets too noisy?
But where would we go?
Grandma and old Nick
are too old to move now.
You'll just have
to leave me here.
Me as well.
No, mother.
We're the only ones who stay
in the river during the winter.
Have you seen Katak at all?
All the other whales spend
the winter down south
and come back in--
No.
--the start of summer
with their babies.
Are you saying we
should go with them?
But the water's
too hot down there.
Well, uh, maybe the heat
is better for the babies.
I'm afraid to travel.
We'll run into a
lot of floaters.
So we'd go for
the whole winter?
Absolutely!
It might just be
worth giving it a try.
I'm going for sure.
Me, too.
Me, too.
CROWD: Me, too!
[cheering]
All right, then it's settled!
We're going south with the
other whales at summer's end,
and we will save our great pod.
CROWD: Yeah!
Hooray!
[bright music]
Whoa!
[chuckling]
Hm, hm, whoa!
Woo-hoo!
[splashing]
[spraying]
What's the little gray one
doing here in these parts?
Huh?
Not a clue.
[humming]
[fretful gasping] Huh?
Hey!
Please!
I beg you, spare me.
I'm the last cod there is!
[laughs] Don't be
afraid, Madame Cod.
I won't eat you.
Have a good day.
[fretful whimpering]
[relieved sigh]
Hey, young fella.
You sure are in a hurry.
Not that it's
any of my business,
but where are you
off to all alone?
Ha, you're right.
It is none of your business.
Huh?
Bye!
Well, I'll be darned.
Well.
Hmm.
[surreal music]
[shimmering]
Huh?
Whoa.
[giggles]
[shimmering]
[crickets chirping]
[shimmering]
[giggling] Woo!
[giggling] Woo-hoo!
[laughter]
Where in the world
could he have gotten to?
[fretting] Oh, oh!
This is the first time
he stayed out this late.
Marina.
Well?
Well?
I couldn't find him.
[groans]
[spraying]
Ah.
[laughs]
Woo-hoo!
[laughing]
Wow!
Hey, Mr. Sturgeon!
Come back!
That jump you did was so cool.
Can you do it again?
No.
Why are you hiding?
I'm not hiding.
Well, what's your name?
Cyrano.
Mine is Katak.
Ya-hoo!
[laughs] Woo-hoo-hoo!
Ow!
[thudding]
Ow.
[laughing]
Oh, sorry.
This is the first time
I've seen a gray beluga
without his mother.
I don't need a mother.
Are you alone, too?
I prefer that.
I can go where I
want, when I want.
Yeah, so can I.
So where are you going?
To the great ice floe.
Ooh.
[shivers] It's cold up there.
I don't care.
Well, good luck.
You, too.
Hey, do you even
know the way there?
Not so much.
Not so much?
[groans]
No, he didn't
spend the night here.
Oh.
[crying] He's
nowhere to be found.
I'll go look some more!
Hmm.
Knowing him, he got
lost on the way.
On the way where?
If you know anything, talk!
They saw him heading
towards the rising sun.
He was in a hurry!
He refused to tell
us where he was going.
Uh-uh, and he seemed
to be in such a hurry.
Mm-hmm.
(SINGING) Minnow
is on the run!
Albi!
On the run?
From what?
I'm going after him.
Oh!
Oh, no, no, no, no, I
can't leave Grandma.
Don't worry.
I'll bring him back.
I'm coming with you.
We're going to find him.
Albi.
Hm?
You're coming with us.
Oh, why me?
That's an order!
[scoffs and mocks]
Oh, that's an order.
Hmph.
Good luck!
Stay safe!
Yeah, stay safe!
Oh!
[spraying]
[exhaling]
[panting]
Hey!
What?
What a cool-looking beak.
Huh?
Oh, shh!
Not so loud!
Wait, don't go.
It's the first time I've
seen a bird like you.
Shh!
You got a death wish?
Are you totally insane?
Or both?
Uh, no.
Why?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[panting]
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
[humming]
Hmm?
Whoa!
[laughs]
[humming]
Hey.
[chuckling] [humming]
Huh?
[burbles]
[ominous bubbling]
[humming]
Huh?
Look!
Hey!
Hello.
Hmm.
Hm?
Hello, little one.
[slurps] Mm.
[whimpering]
Huh?
Where do you think you're going?
You can't get away from me!
Little one, I see you.
[grunts] It's no use
trying to escape!
Watch out, coming through!
Little one.
I'm going to get
you, little one.
Oh, no!
I'm coming!
[thudding]
Oh, come back here, you!
Oh, don't think
you can escape me!
[snickering] Big
mistake, little one.
You're going to have to
come up for air sometime.
I'm sure you're starting
to run out of air.
[snickering] Take your
time, but I'm warning you.
Waiting makes me even hungrier.
[straining for air]
[straining for air]
[gasping]
[spraying]
[sighing in relief] Huh?
Jack Knife.
Mm.
[straining] Mm, yummy.
Mm.
Huh?
Hey!
Hey!
Don't be afraid.
Huh?
I don't like belugas.
Well, what I meant
was I don't eat them!
Huh?
Oh, no?
Then why are you chasing me?
What I really like is seaweed.
Before, I used to eat shrimp,
but the poor little guys,
they didn't deserve that.
The best has to be sea lettuce.
Have you ever tried sea lettuce?
Huh?
Leave me alone, all right?
I said, leave me alone!
Yeah, but looks
like you're hurt.
You-- you-- y-- y-- y-- y--
you're-- you're bleeding!
Guh!
Ugh.
Ugh.
Hm.
Hm.
[moaning]
Hey, you OK?
Wake up.
What's wrong?
Come on, wake up.
Huh?
Did I pass out?
Yeah.
And you didn't swim away?
No.
But I-- I got to get going.
Why are you all alone?
Usually the gray ones
are with their moms.
[sighs] I'm not
like the others.
I might be gray, but I'm older.
I'm not like
the others either.
Yeah, a killer whale who
faints at the sight of blood
is pretty rare.
[nervous laugh] Especially
when she happens to be
the daughter of Jack Knife.
Hmm?
Jack Knife?
Wait up!
We can be friends.
My name's Jack-Lynn.
Mine is Katak, but we
can never be friends!
Katak, like the famous Katak?
Yes.
No!
He's my grandpa.
No!
Mm-hmm.
Uh-- well, we've
got a big problem.
Are you out of your mind?
Cyrano?
You can't be friends with
the daughter of Jack Knife.
KATAK: But that's what I said.
Well, well, well,
I better follow
you to make sure you
don't get into trouble.
I don't need
anyone, all right?
It's not what you think.
Especially telling
me what to do.
Oh, no?
No.
But if you really want to and
you're not afraid of the cold.
D'oh.
Come on.
[groaning] Oh, fine.
[seals barking]
[ominous music]
[splashing]
Did you hear that?
ALL: What?
SEAL: There, a dorsal fin!
There!
I see him!
There!
Huh?
Huh?
It's-- huh--
there!
Oh, I'm not
sticking around here.
I think it's him.
Who?
You know who.
[whimpering] It's Jack Knife?
Oh, no!
D'oh!
[whimpering] Uh, guys?
Where is everyone?
Anyone here?
Hello!
[munching] You want
a little bite, sweetie?
Ugh.
Blegh.
No, thank you.
Come on, make an effort.
You're the one who
needs to make an effort!
How do you expect me to make
friends when all you ever do
is eat them?
[munching]
[whimpers] You
have blood there.
[slurping]
No, there.
[whimpers]
[slurps]
[whimpering]
If all you ever
eat is seaweed,
you're never going
to get strong.
Ugh!
You don't understand!
Yes, I saw him
yesterday morning.
Thank you, my friend.
No problem.
See you.
So Katak came this way.
He's taking the coast.
Then how far ahead is he?
About a day.
We've got to hurry!
(MOCKING) We've got to hurry.
[whining]
Albi, knock it off
with the whining.
Let's go.
ALBI: [scoffs] Man, I was
dreaming of going down south.
Going south?
We have to find Katak.
LULU: And that's
all that matters.
ALBI: Aw!
Are you going to
be able to sleep?
Or do you want to take
turns keeping watch?
There's no need.
I'm not afraid of Jack Knife.
Shh!
I know I can hold my
breath longer than him.
Ha, you've got a big head.
Are you afraid of him?
Jack Knife?
Nah.
I've got extremely rough scales,
and killer whales hate that.
[animal calling]
[gasping]
Calm down, OK?
It's just a loon,
nothing to be afraid of.
No, no, I know.
I wasn't afraid.
I-- I just twitched.
That's all.
Oh, OK.
[chuckles] Hm.
[bird chirping]
GOOSE 1: Oh, I was right, eh?
It's a gray beluga.
GOOSE 2: What do you
mean, you were right?
I'm the one who said, look,
there's a gray beluga,
but you didn't hear me
because you honk nonstop.
GOOSE 1: Oh, I
honk nonstop, do I?
GOOSE 2: Yes!
GOOSE 1: Ho, ho, and you
don't honk all the time?
BOTH: Ooh, hello!
[gasps] Help!
Sorry, little one.
We didn't mean to scare you.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Are you lost?
No.
No, no.
I'm going to the great ice floe.
Ooh, the great ice floe, eh?
That's where we were hatched.
You'll see, it's beautiful.
We go back every year.
You mean we used to go back.
We don't anymore.
The proof is that we're here
in the middle of summer.
Do you know how to get there?
Head 0, 0 due north.
Uh--
Align yourself
with the North Star.
Uh, except the North Star
isn't exactly due north.
Well, no, [murmurs].
You see?
It'll be easy to find.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks a lot.
Watch out for the South Side.
The what?
Don't worry, ladies.
I'll watch over him.
[groans]
BOTH: Good luck!
Hey, look at you.
You've lost weight.
You think so?
Did you eat anything today?
I have no appetite.
Nothing's very tempting.
Hello there, Madame Cod.
Huh?
Did he-- did he just say "cod"?
Hey, wait up!
How do you know that I'm a cod?
Well, you have the same
barbel as the other one.
What other one?
The one I met back there.
Oh!
And I thought we were the
last ones in the world.
All right, come on.
Let's go.
And where are we going?
To find the other one.
So that means that
there's three of us?
The little gray one
was traveling alone.
He was going up north.
Yeah, he's capable
of holding his breath
for such a long time.
No one's ever seen that before.
It's a phenomenon.
And I heard that he
even foiled Jack Knife.
Huh?
Apparently.
That little one isn't
afraid of anything.
His name is Katak.
I've heard that name before.
That was his grandfather's name.
The grandson of
the famous Katak?
Did I just hear that right?
Uh, calm down, Daddy.
His grandson is here?
Uh, w-- w--
what are you talking about?
It's you and me, Katak!
[sighs]
[sneeze] I knew I'd
end up getting sick!
Shh!
[gasps] Oh, no!
[fretting]
I know you're here, Katak!
Don't be scared!
It's Jack-Lynn.
"It's Jack-Lynn."
I warned you about her!
Jack-Lynn: Katak,
you're in danger!
[sighs] There you are.
My father's looking for you.
He knows who you are.
And you led him right to us.
Well done.
No!
Stop it, Cyrano.
My dad's nowhere near
here, but just be careful.
Thank you!
You see now?
We can be friends.
Ugh.
"Thank you, Jack-Lynn."
"Thank you, Jack-Lynn."
Ugh, sure, thanks.
Can't you see it's a trap?
[sneezes] Ugh.
Why would it be a trap?
Are you jealous?
Ha, me, jealous?
Ha-- [sneezes]
[peaceful music]
Oh, I can't take this!
Why isn't he coming back?
Why did he leave
without saying anything?
He didn't think about me?
He didn't think of his mother?
Oh!
[sighs] He's gone to the
great ice floe to look for his
grandpa.
What?
And you knew and
didn't say anything?
Mother!
I promised I
wouldn't say anything.
Have a little faith in Katak.
He's still a child!
He's more mature
than you think.
Oh, come on now.
He's never even left here.
He doesn't know the dangers.
He's totally, totally oblivious!
That's the way you see him.
Mm-hmm.
Oh!
Oh, because you, you see
him as a responsible adult?
No, as a resourceful
and courageous young male
who needs to assert himself.
[groans]
Mom!
Oh!
Are you all right, Mom?
Yes.
Mm.
Oh, I just don't understand.
Going to look for his grandpa
at the great ice floe?
He's going to
the great ice floe?
Wow.
All alone?
Yah.
Eh, no.
He's not alone.
There's someone
watching over him.
There's someone with him?
Yeah.
BOTH: A sturgeon.
Guh.
Thank you.
No worries.
Safe travels.
Safe travels to you as well!
Be careful!
He thinks he can escape
me, that lousy little guppie.
Are you ready?
No.
I'm not going to
help you find him.
Hmm?
Do your own dirty work!
All you do is think about
yourself all the time.
Jack-Lynn, I've been waiting
for years to get my revenge
on Katak, and I refuse to let
him humiliate me any longer!
I see.
If your pride matters
more to you than me,
then just forget about me!
Are we asserting
our independence?
Call it whatever you like.
I'm leaving!
And don't you dare follow me.
I don't need you.
Understand?
I do!
But you'll be back, little girl.
You'll soon realize
that you need family.
And your family is me!
[groans]
Oh, I'm starving!
[laughs] They look good.
[slurps] [laughs]
Wow.
What is that?
[clacking]
[straining] Oh, that's good.
[chuckles] [gulps]
Cyrano, are you seeing this?
Ah!
Hi!
No, no, don't run away!
Shh!
It's me.
Let's play.
Come on!
[giggling]
[slurping] Ah.
I haven't enjoyed a meal
like that in a long time.
You, Katak?
Katak?
[giggling]
[groans]
Katak?
Hey.
Look at that.
[giggles]
K, catch!
Pass it!
Here you go!
I got it!
I got it!
[laughing]
Hold on, hold on.
Over here!
Lure it in!
Oh!
Katak!
No!
What are you doing?
You're playing with her?
Oh, boy.
Jack-Lynn: It's my turn!
No, it's mine!
Ah!
[straining]
[giggles]
Hey, follow me.
Wow.
Whoa.
It's my secret hiding place.
Just for me.
So cool.
Oh!
[laughs]
That's enough!
Oh!
You!
You stay away from my friend.
And Katak, I can't leave
you alone for two minutes!
Not so loud, Cyrano.
[grumbles]
[groans]
Can't even grab a quick
bite to eat without--
watch out!
Ah!
Hello.
Guess who's back?
[snickers] [straining]
Katak, over here!
Yeah!
I'm coming!
[thud]
Oh!
[groaning]
1, 2, 3!
Oh!
[straining] Ugh!
What the?
I told you not to follow me!
Jack-Lynn!
I don't believe this.
My own daughter betrays me?
I didn't betray anyone!
I'm just tired of you
dwelling in the past.
I can't take it!
[groans] Jack-Lynn, you
helped him to get away!
I helped him because--
because I can't stand violence!
You know that.
Would you mind telling me
what you were doing with him?
Nothing.
I, um, uh, was
exploring the wreck,
and then we ran into each other.
Eh?
Jack-Lynn: By chance.
But it's Katak!
I would have done the same
thing no matter who it was!
If you're not
going to help me,
daughter, then make sure
you stay out of my way.
Ugh!
[groaning]
[clacking]
I need to go.
I think something's
happened to him.
I can feel it.
I can feel it right here.
He needs me.
I have to help him!
But you don't even
know where he is.
Yes, but--
[grandma moaning]
Mother.
What is it, Mother?
Are you in pain?
Ow!
Sorry about the scoots.
Do you find my skin rough?
Pretty much, yeah.
It is.
Lucky you're here.
The only thing is now Jack
Knife thinks I'm the enemy,
too.
Sorry about that.
Do you want to go back?
Not on your life.
You're really not
scared, are you?
[slurps] Not
enough to leave you.
My mom's going to be worried.
That's for sure.
[sneezes]
My grandmother will, too.
I hope she doesn't leave
us before I get back.
Well, we're almost there.
Are you missing anyone?
I have no family.
Do you have any friends?
Oh, friends, friends
who just laugh at my nose.
I don't need those.
[chuckles] Oh,
yeah, you're right.
No one needs friends like that.
The problem with your
big nose, Cyrano,
is that it hides all
your great qualities.
[laughs]
Oh, you.
[laughter]
[water splashing]
[spraying]
Where are you, Katak?
Well, apparently, he's
managed to escape twice
from Jack Knife.
He's a strong one, that one.
As strong as his
grandfather, eh?
Whoa, I think you
mean much stronger.
[screaming]
Polestar!
POLESTAR: Oh!
Tell me where Katak
is, or I'll swallow her!
Oh, we haven't
seen Katak in ages!
POLESTAR: Oh, that's not true.
We saw him three days ago.
Remember?
His friend got a cold.
But-- but I--
I don't know where he is!
It's true!
I swear to you!
Let her go!
Go find him.
You have five minutes
to report back.
If you don't--
Ahh!
Huh?
That's the geese!
POLESTAR: I can't see!
I can't see anything!
Get going!
First let her go!
Get going!
[whale call]
POLESTAR: Help me, please!
Oh!
[groaning] Oh, it's him.
Where's it coming from?
Ugh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
[groans]
Oh, Polestar, I'm
begging you, move.
Oh.
Oh, my Polestar.
Say something.
[groans] How
are you doing, eh?
Oh.
That was impressive.
So then it worked.
How did you that would
work on Jack Knife?
That's what my
grandpa did to escape.
Grandma wasn't just
making up stories.
Meanwhile, we have
no clue where he went.
[sneezes]
Shh.
You know, if you want to
talk about it, I'm listening.
That was a pretty
traumatic event.
Oh, yeah, don't I know it.
It's really not very good
to bottle up your emotions.
Oh, holy mackerel.
There he is again.
[gasp] Stop.
A killer whale.
[snickering]
Hmm?
Hey, wait for me!
I think we can
come out now, Cyrano.
Think he's gone?
[starting to sneeze]
Shh!
Yeah, but we should
still be quiet.
Whoa.
Oh, it's an iceberg!
Oh, whoa.
Wow.
Wow.
[thud]
[blubbers]
Hmm.
Eh?
Ah!
[straining] Hey!
[straining]
Incredible.
[sea gulls calling]
Is anyone else getting
strange sensations?
[cracking]
Run!
[dramatic music]
Run away!
Help!
Move!
Help!
[groaning] What?
Bosco?
Albi?
Naya?
Over here.
Lulu, we're here.
uh, so Albi isn't here then?
Mm-mm.
Albi!
Albi!
Not so loud.
The killer whale could be near.
Albi?
LULU: Albi!
Albi!
BOSCO: Albi!
LULU: Albi!
BOSCO: Albi!
LULU: Albi!
Albi!
Huh?
What?
Cyrano.
Huh?
Hey wake up.
Jack Knife?
No, no, no.
Listen.
It must have been a dream.
[coughs] [slurps]
[sighs] Almost there, Grandma.
Hold on.
[groaning]
Do you want some air?
Mother?
It's-- it's Katak.
Do you hear him?
Oh, let him sleep.
But we should tell him, eh?
Jack Knife!
[coughing]
There's no danger right now.
Jack Knife's going six
knots headed up north.
Do you know the other one?
What other one?
The other one who is--
you tell him.
No, you.
I can't do it.
What?
Oh, come.
[ethereal music]
Albi?
Is he OK?
Mm-mm-mm.
[groaning]
BOTH: He's alive!
Albi, are you OK?
What are you doing here?
Are you alone?
Don't you recognize me?
Minnow?
He's fine.
Come on, let's go.
Hey!
Where do you think you're going?
I think we should
keep going farther.
No little gray baby's
going to tell me where to go!
You know, this
little gray baby
got as far as he did by
escaping from Jack Knife.
You think I believe
that, you big schnoz?
Ha!
Ah!
Hey!
Katak, why are you letting
this shrimp follow you?
[chuckling] Because
Cyrano is my best friend.
ALBI: 'Cause of you, we might
miss our trip down south.
KATAK: What trip?
Huh?
KATAK: What are
you talking about?
Did you hear that?
ALBI: Never mind.
Sounds like Katak!
KATAK: You can go if you want.
Yes!
Yes, it's him!
ALBI: You nosy partner,
no one asked you!
KATAK: OK, that's
enough, you two.
He's with Albi!
[laughing] Katak!
Lulu!
[giggling]
Oh, I'm so happy to see you!
LULU: We finally found you!
KATAK: You came all
this way just for me?
Aw.
BOTH: Katak!
[moaning]
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Haha!
Woo-hoo!
Aw, ho-ho, I
just love reunions!
[laughs] Katak, why
didn't you just tell me?
Well, I have a
lot to tell you now.
Albi, what happened to you?
Um, I don't know.
Uh, I can't remember a thing.
I was afraid I'd
never see you again.
Come on.
[laughs] You know me.
Mm.
Mm.
You little guy.
Took us on quite the journey.
Good grief, Katak.
What were you thinking?
I'm sorry.
Little twerp.
Oh, clam up.
Yeah, clam up.
[coughs] Listen, we need
to make a little less noise.
Jack Knife has attacked
Katak a couple of times.
ALL: What?
Jack Knife, the killer whale?
Shh!
And up till now, we've always
managed to get away from him.
Ah, you've listened to too
many of your grandma's stories.
How, uh-- how
is Grandma doing?
We don't know.
Bosco, maybe it was Jack
Knife who we saw before.
Oh, come on!
[laughs] Don't say
I didn't warn you.
[coughs]
Are you ready for a sprint?
Let's get going!
Come on, guys.
And 1 and 2 and 3 and
4 and 1 and 2 and 3.
Let's go, swimmers.
The race is on.
Let's get you
back to your mother.
Not just yet.
We're so close now!
[whistles] Follow me!
Not a chance!
[laughs]
ALL: Huh?
Uh.
D'oh.
Katak, wait up.
I promised Grandma I
would find my grandpa.
And there's no way I'm
going back without him.
That's what I figured.
[laughs]
Come here!
That's an order!
No!
We're on a mission.
[groans] No use
trying to stop them.
Oh, boy.
[somber music]
Jack-Lynn, let me
just settle this.
And when it's over, I--
I'll be a better father.
I promise you.
Yeah, we'll see.
But I--
I--
[spraying]
Oh.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
I've never seen
anything so beautiful.
Oh, sea unicorns!
Grandma was right!
They do exist!
[laughs]
Oh.
Huh?
Whoa.
[coughing]
You really don't look good.
You made it.
You did it.
We did it.
[coughing] You
don't need me anymore.
That's not true.
I'll always need a friend.
[coughing]
But I think you
should go back home
before you cough up a gill.
[laughs] Yeah.
[coughs] I'm going to miss you.
Thanks.
I couldn't have
done it without you.
And without you,
I wouldn't have
gotten the trip of a lifetime.
Take care of yourself.
You, too.
Hey, Katak!
[laughs] Come!
Let's fill our bellies.
Yeah, I'm coming!
Huh?
Cyrano?
See you soon!
[ethereal music]
[yawning]
I think everyone deserves to
stop and rest for the night.
[ethereal music]
[snoring]
Huh?
Huh?
We're trapped!
It's a sab sack.
A what?
[scoffs] If we stay here,
we won't be able to breathe.
We're going to die!
What should we do?
Keep going further?
Or should we turn back?
I'll look for open water.
Ha!
I can hold my
breath the longest.
No, Katak.
I should do that.
Oh, have faith in me!
I'll signal you when
I find a way out.
Oh, good luck.
1, 2, 3.
What is that?
[roaring]
[gasping]
A monster!
[roaring]
We're never going
to be able to breathe!
13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20.
[suspenseful music]
[roaring]
I didn't have time
to take a deep breath.
You?
I'm going up!
No, no, no!
[roaring]
Ah!
It's too risky.
Hopefully there'll be
another opening nearby.
[suspenseful music]
[gasping]
[lowing]
Huh?
Quick!
Get down!
[growling]
101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106.
[growling]
1,201, 1,202, 1,203,
1,204, 1,205, 1,206.
[sniffing]
[roaring]
Oh, no!
I can't hold my
breath for much longer!
2,225, 2,226, 2,227.
Oh, even Katak can't stay
underwater much longer.
[whale calling]
Huh?
Katak?
BOSCO: Yes!
Yes!
It's him!
Oh, yes!
Looks like he found open water!
[laughs]
He says to go
towards the rising sun.
Oh, well done, Katak!
You're the best!
[gasping] [panting]
[bear growling]
Huh?
Oh!
[roaring]
Get out of here!
Huh?
Jack-Lynn?
You leave that one alone!
He's all mine!
[gasping]
Yeah, thanks, Katak.
Huh?
LULU: Katak!
[roaring]
Daddy!
No, Jack-Lynn, stay back!
Daddy!
We've got to do something!
Get away while you still can!
Katak!
Katak!
Come here!
Quick!
We've got to get out of here!
Come on!
What are you doing?
I can't just
abandon my friend.
Come on, Katak.
It's a killer whale.
But she saved my life.
If you don't leave, it will
all have been for nothing.
Jack-Lynn.
BOSCO: Let's go!
Hurry up!
[roaring]
[sighing]
Daddy.
I just need to rest
here a little bit.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have--
Shh, shh, shh,
shh, my little girl.
[crying]
Live your life
the way you want.
You're losing
all your strength.
It's nothing.
My wounds will heal.
No!
No, it's bad.
Let me help you.
You see, you are strong.
I love you, Daddy.
Stay with me, please.
I love you, too.
[groans]
[crying]
Huh?
Bah!
[making funny noises]
[giggling]
Look, another pod!
Whoa!
They look exactly like us!
The mothers with their babies.
[laughs]
Aw, the last
time I saw a baby,
I was a little bitty baby.
Is this a dream?
We made it!
[whale call]
I tell you, the other
day, the sea unicorns
were floating on quite the--
Hey, did you all hear that?
That sound, is that--
Quick, let's go see!
Oh, other belugas!
Hi!
Hello!
I don't think we've ever met.
There sure are
a lot of you here.
Yep, a whole pod.
That's right.
Come on, let me introduce you.
[laughs] I knew it!
Woo-hoo!
[laughing]
It's beautiful here!
Hey, you're from the river.
Bears?
My dear lady, we
had a narrow escape.
Oh, wow.
Do you know a Katak?
You followed the shore
the whole way here?
If you see my
grandfather, tell me!
And we came across
the killer whale.
He's got an
anchor-shaped scar.
Did you hear?
Apparently, they're
from the river.
His name's Katak, like me!
No, they came all this way?
They must be exhausted.
He has a scar.
There are belugas
in the river?
He's my grandfather.
Told you.
Uh, do you often
see polar bears?
All the time.
Killer whales as well.
How about floaters?
They come up here?
[spraying]
Yeah, more and more.
[foghorn]
It's really annoying.
Yeah, but you have
so many little ones.
You don't where you come from?
No.
My name's Cammy.
Lulu.
Nice to meet you.
[whale calling]
Huh?
[whale calling]
Grandpa!
Could it be that I have
a grandson from the river?
Your name's Katak?
Yes, and my mother, uh,
your daughter is named Marina.
Marina.
But that's not why
I came to see you.
It's for Grandma.
Do you remember her?
She took care of you.
Oh, of course.
I could never forget her.
She always talks about you.
She does?
Yes!
She says she still loves you.
And you traveled all
this way to tell me that?
No, I came here to get you.
She's going to leave
us soon, and I'd
like for her to be happy.
You're just like me, you know.
Really?
I also was late turning white.
[chuckles]
And did it bother you?
Mm, a bit.
And you?
Mm, a bit.
You know, your color
isn't what's important.
What counts is what
you have in here.
It's Jack-Lynn.
She lost her dad.
Do you like Jack-Lynn?
It's my fault she's
all alone right now.
I know it's sad for your
friend, but thanks to you,
the belugas are now free from
a fierce and cruel predator.
Yeah.
I didn't know I had a grandson
who was this courageous.
Jack Knife is gone, and your
friendship with Jack-Lynn,
for me, is a sign of hope.
You should go and see her.
You OK?
I just feel so bad.
I didn't think I
needed him, but--
but now that he's not here.
I understand.
You miss him.
Very much.
Thanks for saving my life.
[crying] I think I'll stay
here for a little while.
Will I see you again?
Maybe.
But for sure, we'll
be friends for life.
Hey!
Uh, don't turn
away too fast, OK?
If you do, I won't
recognize you.
How about we go
explore over that way?
Want to go for a swim, Lulu?
OK.
[laughs]
Huh?
Your cousin Katak
seems really cool.
Katak seems really cool.
Is it true what they're
saying about Jack Knife?
[rumbling]
Ugh, a digger.
[foghorn]
Oh, and a floater!
Quick!
[thudding]
Let's get out of here!
[foghorn]
Oh, what are we doing here?
It's worse than back home.
There's bears, killer whales,
floaters, and diggers.
Yeah, but there's
cute little babies, too.
It's becoming harder and
harder for us to live here.
You know, in the
river, there are places
where the floaters don't go.
Really?
Yeah, the protected zone.
The protected zone?
There aren't any
predators either.
Really?
Oh, I'm afraid of bears.
Can we go where you live?
Ah, my dear boy, you're
welcome whenever you want.
Friends, it's time to leave.
Destination-- the
Saint Lawrence River.
In the end, Katak, it wasn't
a bad idea at all coming here.
We can't predict the future,
but with all these little ones
we're bringing
back, we might have
saved the pod from extinction.
I can't wait to get to where
you live so our little ones can
grow up safely.
Oh, yes, in the
protected zone!
[chuckling]
In any case, we
no longer need to go
south with the other whales.
What?
We're not going south?
You know, your grandmother
sure had character.
[laughs] She hasn't changed.
You must take after her.
[laughs]
Oh!
Woo!
Hey!
Little one!
Hey!
Hello!
Hello, cod ladies!
Is that him?
No.
BOTH: Yes!
ALL: Hello!
Hi!
Hi, belugas.
He's the one I
was talking about!
He saved my life!
[laughs]
GEESE: Katak!
Hi!
It's thanks to him that
we're free of Jack Knife!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
ALL: Yay!
Wow, your cousin's a
real legend around here.
Katak!
Safe travels back!
No problem!
Uh, Minnow-- uh, Katak?
Uh, sorry for being such a, um--
It's all right, Albi.
Safe travels!
See you later!
Welcome to Terusack.
Oh, my.
It's so beautiful here.
[laughing]
Come on!
I want to show you the fjords.
Not that it's any of my
business, but those two there.
Mm-hmm.
[snoring] [groaning]
Grandma?
Grandma, take a look.
Katak?
My love.
It's been a long time.
Too long a time.
Mm.
You're as beautiful
as I remember.
Mom, I know you're
upset with me--
Ah, but you came back.
And I'm so very proud of you!
Mm.
GRANDMA: I have so
much to tell you.
I'd even say Grandma's
feeling better.
GRANDMA: First,
tell me about you.
Do you have children?
Any grandchildren?
Huh?
Katak!
[giggling]
Hey, Katak's
looking lighter, huh?
Nope, I didn't
turn any whiter.
But it doesn't bother me.
I am what I am.
Then stay like that.
You're pretty cool.
What do you say, Katak,
to coming and living
with the males?
For real?
Yeah.
Ya-hoo!
Ha-ha!
Ha-ha!
Wa-ha-ha-ha!
Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha!
Oh, Cyrano!
Well done, champ!
[laughs]
Woo-hoo!
[bright music]
[laughter]
Yay!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Grandma?
Grandma, I really wish
you were here today.
Estelle finally became a mother.
WHALE: Oh, it's a
little girl, Estelle!
Very healthy.
[giggling]
Welcome, little gray one.
[bright music]
[music continues]
[audio logo]
[crab legs clacking]
[seagulls calling]
[ethereal music]
[water trickling]
[gasps]
First one to the tower wins.
I'm going to win.
I'm the fastest.
Ha-ha, we'll see about that!
[peaceful music]
Woo-hoo!
The last one there
is a crusty old snail.
LULU: That leaves
a slimy old trail!
[giggles]
Swim, Lulu!
Don't just let the
current push you!
[laughs]
Hey, you just watch
where you're going.
[chuckles]
Hey, wait for me!
[laughs] You just
have to swim faster!
LULU: [giggles] Just you wait!
I'm going to catch you!
[snickering]
Aw!
Hey, that's not fair!
[giggling]
Ugh!
Huh?
Just give up.
You don't stand a chance.
[snickering]
Oh, yeah?
You think so?
[splash]
-Boo!
Ah!
[giggling]
You think you're funny, huh?
[chuckling]
[grunting] Hey!
Dream on, dude.
[laughs] I've already got this.
[pop]
[groans]
[laughing]
[groaning]
[grunting]
I did it!
[grunting]
[gong]
[blubbering] Oh.
[cheering]
Yeah!
Woo, woo!
All right!
Yeah!
Hey, minnow.
Huh?
Isn't it time
for your num num?
Mama.
[imitating baby] Mama.
[imitating baby]
What a twit.
Hey, leave him
alone, you sore loser.
[snickering]
Want to swim around?
I saw some herrings.
I'm not hungry.
I just saw Estelle.
She's as big as a blue whale.
If she's that big, she must
be about to give birth any day
now.
Aw, don't worry.
We'll know when she
is about to-- oh!
Hey!
Hey, you could at
least say excuse me.
KATAK: Sorry!
Not that it's
any of my business,
but shouldn't he have
turned white by now?
He appears to be
late in developing.
Ah, I see.
[somber music]
[seagulls calling]
He insulted Katak again.
Oh, but what are we
going to do about it?
Nothing, Marina.
So have you chosen a
name for the baby yet?
Not yet, no.
Hey, Katak.
You're, uh, back already?
[chuckling]
[sighs]
Grandma?
Grandma, are you awake?
Yes, come here and give me a
big hug before you turn white
and go off to live
with the males.
Mm.
[sighs]
What?
Whenever you let your
melon droop like that,
I know it means you're
upset about something.
Hm.
[sighing]
What's the matter?
I'm the same age
as Sim and Albi.
Why can't I go with them
and live with the males?
It feels like I'm going to stay
gray for the rest of my life.
Come on now.
You'll see.
When Estelle's baby is
born in a few weeks,
he'll become the
little gray one,
and he'll make us all go gaga.
[laughs] Even my mom?
Your mom will find that
you've grown so quickly
and that you're much older.
I sure hope so.
Mm.
Mm.
Mother, Estelle's
baby just moved.
Come and see.
[chuckling] That means
he'll be quite feisty.
Here, I can feel it.
He's kicking me with his tail.
Feel here, Grandma.
Aw.
[bird cawing]
2,080, 2,081, 2,082, 2,083,
2,084, 2,085, 2,086, 2,087,
2,088, 2,089, 2,090,
2,091, 2,092, 2,093--
Not that it's any of
my business, but one day,
he's going to suffocate.
Or lose consciousness.
[straining]
2,099, 2,100, 2,101, 2,102--
Whoa.
It's about time.
I was about to pass out myself.
[splashing]
[spraying]
[seagull calling]
2,104 seconds!
Wow!
Really?
SEALS: Bravo!
[barking]
Bravo!
I could have done better.
Hey, cousin.
You're king of
holding your breath.
ALBI: "King of
holding your breath."
Albi, we're going to the deep.
Woo-hoo!
Coming.
Ha-ha!
Hey.
You'll be going with them soon.
[foghorn]
[yelping]
Hey!
A floater's coming.
Everyone, follow me.
We have to stay in
the protected zone.
Come on, hurry!
Estelle's not here?
But I thought she
was with you, Naya.
Oh, Estelle!
Estelle!
Quick, we have to go back
into the protected zone!
Estelle!
Estelle!
Estelle, come back!
Estelle!
Estelle!
WHALE: Estelle!
[foghorn]
[grunting]
Naya!
Lulu!
I can't see anything!
Mama!
Mama!
[whale call]
Oh!
Estelle!
Over here!
Estelle!
Oh!
Oh!
My ears!
ESTELLE: Mama!
Huh?
Over there!
I see her!
Estelle!
I'm going to get her.
No, Katak!
It's too dangerous.
Even we don't go there.
But I'm not afraid!
Come on, Katak!
It's not about being afraid.
It's just too dangerous.
I'll get her.
[dramatic music]
But I'm going, too!
No, Katak!
Ah!
No!
Aw, but Mom!
Aw!
[foghorn]
[grunting] Eugh?
Mama!
Aw, crap!
[grunting]
Oh!
Ah!
Hang on!
[panting]
Oh, thank you, Albi.
If it wasn't for
you, I can't imagine
what would have happened.
GRANDMA: Oh, yes,
thank you, Albi.
NAYA: You gave us quite
the scare, Estelle.
Hey, if you need help, don't
give it a second thought.
Just give me a shout.
Ha-ha.
[clicks tongue]
ESTELLE: What bravery.
NAYA: You're my hero.
ESTELLE: That took
a lot of courage.
I would have saved
Estelle, too, you know.
I know.
You're so much
like your grandpa.
Have I ever told you the
story about your grandfather?
Again?
Yeah, but that's OK.
I love hearing
stories about him.
[laughs] Yeah, well, I
know this one by heart.
Oh, yeah, I've heard
that one over 1,000 times.
No one knows if any
of it is actually true.
Yeah.
Do you believe any of it?
Forget about them, Grandma.
I haven't heard it 1,000 times.
You can tell me the
story again if you like.
When I was young,
I heard tales
of a cruel killer
whale who terrified
all downriver, Jack Knife.
He had a dorsal fin that was
shaped like a switchblade.
He would kill all
the belugas that
dared to venture into
his territory, just
for his own amusement.
KATAK: He was a
real killer whale.
Yes, but one beluga
came out alive in a fight
with Jack Knife, Katak.
He had traveled south
from the great ice floe
and wasn't afraid of anything,
even the bloodthirsty killer
whale.
And-- and-- and-- and he
discovered his weakness,
and that's the
reason he survived!
Mm-hmm.
[whale calling]
He discovered that
Jack Knife was
sensitive to certain
high-pitched sounds.
He defeated Jack Knife,
but he was in rough shape
when he got here.
I was the one who
took care of him.
[ethereal music]
He spent the whole
summer here with me,
and a beautiful summer it was,
the most incredible summer
of my life.
I remember every moment.
Eventually, his wounds healed.
KATAK: You were really
in love with him?
Mm, yes.
[chuckles] And he
was in love with me.
He wanted me to return with
him to the great ice floe.
So then why didn't you go?
I didn't want to
leave my family.
He was far away
when I realized I
was carrying a beautiful baby.
He doesn't even
know my mom exists?
I hoped for so long he'd
find out and come back.
[seagulls calling]
[ethereal music]
[crying]
Poor Estelle.
Aw.
Why doesn't it ever work?
Each time a mother gets
pregnant, she loses the baby.
I want to have
babies, too, someday.
[sighs]
Oh, Mother really wanted
to see Estelle's baby.
It's what was keeping her alive.
What?
Are you worried she's
going to give up?
She no longer has a
reason to fight her illness.
I think she might
be leaving us soon.
Shh!
Lulu, you hear that?
Grandma's going to die.
I know.
But I don't want her to.
Me neither.
[sentimental music]
Hmm.
[sighs]
Katak!
Are you feeling
all right, Grandma?
[sighs] I feel very
old all of a sudden.
Grandma?
Grandma, I'm going to
go to the great ice floe
and bring back your love.
But it's a secret.
Don't tell anyone, OK?
Not even Lulu.
That's so sweet, Katak.
But it's much too far
and much too dangerous.
I can do it, Grandma.
Promise you'll wait for us.
Promise.
Mm, mm, mm.
[dramatic music]
[splashing]
[spraying]
Hey!
Huh?
You minnow.
Where are you going?
Get out of my way.
[growling]
Hm.
Hm.
[imitating baby]
[seagulls calling]
[screaming]
[crab clacking]
Well, as of right now,
there's no denying it.
We're on the brink
of extinction.
And pretty soon, there won't be
one beluga left in the river.
If only we knew why
it was happening to us.
It was the noise that
stressed out Estelle.
That's true.
Before, it was a lot quieter.
Does that mean we'll have
to move if it gets too noisy?
But where would we go?
Grandma and old Nick
are too old to move now.
You'll just have
to leave me here.
Me as well.
No, mother.
We're the only ones who stay
in the river during the winter.
Have you seen Katak at all?
All the other whales spend
the winter down south
and come back in--
No.
--the start of summer
with their babies.
Are you saying we
should go with them?
But the water's
too hot down there.
Well, uh, maybe the heat
is better for the babies.
I'm afraid to travel.
We'll run into a
lot of floaters.
So we'd go for
the whole winter?
Absolutely!
It might just be
worth giving it a try.
I'm going for sure.
Me, too.
Me, too.
CROWD: Me, too!
[cheering]
All right, then it's settled!
We're going south with the
other whales at summer's end,
and we will save our great pod.
CROWD: Yeah!
Hooray!
[bright music]
Whoa!
[chuckling]
Hm, hm, whoa!
Woo-hoo!
[splashing]
[spraying]
What's the little gray one
doing here in these parts?
Huh?
Not a clue.
[humming]
[fretful gasping] Huh?
Hey!
Please!
I beg you, spare me.
I'm the last cod there is!
[laughs] Don't be
afraid, Madame Cod.
I won't eat you.
Have a good day.
[fretful whimpering]
[relieved sigh]
Hey, young fella.
You sure are in a hurry.
Not that it's
any of my business,
but where are you
off to all alone?
Ha, you're right.
It is none of your business.
Huh?
Bye!
Well, I'll be darned.
Well.
Hmm.
[surreal music]
[shimmering]
Huh?
Whoa.
[giggles]
[shimmering]
[crickets chirping]
[shimmering]
[giggling] Woo!
[giggling] Woo-hoo!
[laughter]
Where in the world
could he have gotten to?
[fretting] Oh, oh!
This is the first time
he stayed out this late.
Marina.
Well?
Well?
I couldn't find him.
[groans]
[spraying]
Ah.
[laughs]
Woo-hoo!
[laughing]
Wow!
Hey, Mr. Sturgeon!
Come back!
That jump you did was so cool.
Can you do it again?
No.
Why are you hiding?
I'm not hiding.
Well, what's your name?
Cyrano.
Mine is Katak.
Ya-hoo!
[laughs] Woo-hoo-hoo!
Ow!
[thudding]
Ow.
[laughing]
Oh, sorry.
This is the first time
I've seen a gray beluga
without his mother.
I don't need a mother.
Are you alone, too?
I prefer that.
I can go where I
want, when I want.
Yeah, so can I.
So where are you going?
To the great ice floe.
Ooh.
[shivers] It's cold up there.
I don't care.
Well, good luck.
You, too.
Hey, do you even
know the way there?
Not so much.
Not so much?
[groans]
No, he didn't
spend the night here.
Oh.
[crying] He's
nowhere to be found.
I'll go look some more!
Hmm.
Knowing him, he got
lost on the way.
On the way where?
If you know anything, talk!
They saw him heading
towards the rising sun.
He was in a hurry!
He refused to tell
us where he was going.
Uh-uh, and he seemed
to be in such a hurry.
Mm-hmm.
(SINGING) Minnow
is on the run!
Albi!
On the run?
From what?
I'm going after him.
Oh!
Oh, no, no, no, no, I
can't leave Grandma.
Don't worry.
I'll bring him back.
I'm coming with you.
We're going to find him.
Albi.
Hm?
You're coming with us.
Oh, why me?
That's an order!
[scoffs and mocks]
Oh, that's an order.
Hmph.
Good luck!
Stay safe!
Yeah, stay safe!
Oh!
[spraying]
[exhaling]
[panting]
Hey!
What?
What a cool-looking beak.
Huh?
Oh, shh!
Not so loud!
Wait, don't go.
It's the first time I've
seen a bird like you.
Shh!
You got a death wish?
Are you totally insane?
Or both?
Uh, no.
Why?
Don't say I didn't warn you.
[panting]
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
[humming]
Hmm?
Whoa!
[laughs]
[humming]
Hey.
[chuckling] [humming]
Huh?
[burbles]
[ominous bubbling]
[humming]
Huh?
Look!
Hey!
Hello.
Hmm.
Hm?
Hello, little one.
[slurps] Mm.
[whimpering]
Huh?
Where do you think you're going?
You can't get away from me!
Little one, I see you.
[grunts] It's no use
trying to escape!
Watch out, coming through!
Little one.
I'm going to get
you, little one.
Oh, no!
I'm coming!
[thudding]
Oh, come back here, you!
Oh, don't think
you can escape me!
[snickering] Big
mistake, little one.
You're going to have to
come up for air sometime.
I'm sure you're starting
to run out of air.
[snickering] Take your
time, but I'm warning you.
Waiting makes me even hungrier.
[straining for air]
[straining for air]
[gasping]
[spraying]
[sighing in relief] Huh?
Jack Knife.
Mm.
[straining] Mm, yummy.
Mm.
Huh?
Hey!
Hey!
Don't be afraid.
Huh?
I don't like belugas.
Well, what I meant
was I don't eat them!
Huh?
Oh, no?
Then why are you chasing me?
What I really like is seaweed.
Before, I used to eat shrimp,
but the poor little guys,
they didn't deserve that.
The best has to be sea lettuce.
Have you ever tried sea lettuce?
Huh?
Leave me alone, all right?
I said, leave me alone!
Yeah, but looks
like you're hurt.
You-- you-- y-- y-- y-- y--
you're-- you're bleeding!
Guh!
Ugh.
Ugh.
Hm.
Hm.
[moaning]
Hey, you OK?
Wake up.
What's wrong?
Come on, wake up.
Huh?
Did I pass out?
Yeah.
And you didn't swim away?
No.
But I-- I got to get going.
Why are you all alone?
Usually the gray ones
are with their moms.
[sighs] I'm not
like the others.
I might be gray, but I'm older.
I'm not like
the others either.
Yeah, a killer whale who
faints at the sight of blood
is pretty rare.
[nervous laugh] Especially
when she happens to be
the daughter of Jack Knife.
Hmm?
Jack Knife?
Wait up!
We can be friends.
My name's Jack-Lynn.
Mine is Katak, but we
can never be friends!
Katak, like the famous Katak?
Yes.
No!
He's my grandpa.
No!
Mm-hmm.
Uh-- well, we've
got a big problem.
Are you out of your mind?
Cyrano?
You can't be friends with
the daughter of Jack Knife.
KATAK: But that's what I said.
Well, well, well,
I better follow
you to make sure you
don't get into trouble.
I don't need
anyone, all right?
It's not what you think.
Especially telling
me what to do.
Oh, no?
No.
But if you really want to and
you're not afraid of the cold.
D'oh.
Come on.
[groaning] Oh, fine.
[seals barking]
[ominous music]
[splashing]
Did you hear that?
ALL: What?
SEAL: There, a dorsal fin!
There!
I see him!
There!
Huh?
Huh?
It's-- huh--
there!
Oh, I'm not
sticking around here.
I think it's him.
Who?
You know who.
[whimpering] It's Jack Knife?
Oh, no!
D'oh!
[whimpering] Uh, guys?
Where is everyone?
Anyone here?
Hello!
[munching] You want
a little bite, sweetie?
Ugh.
Blegh.
No, thank you.
Come on, make an effort.
You're the one who
needs to make an effort!
How do you expect me to make
friends when all you ever do
is eat them?
[munching]
[whimpers] You
have blood there.
[slurping]
No, there.
[whimpers]
[slurps]
[whimpering]
If all you ever
eat is seaweed,
you're never going
to get strong.
Ugh!
You don't understand!
Yes, I saw him
yesterday morning.
Thank you, my friend.
No problem.
See you.
So Katak came this way.
He's taking the coast.
Then how far ahead is he?
About a day.
We've got to hurry!
(MOCKING) We've got to hurry.
[whining]
Albi, knock it off
with the whining.
Let's go.
ALBI: [scoffs] Man, I was
dreaming of going down south.
Going south?
We have to find Katak.
LULU: And that's
all that matters.
ALBI: Aw!
Are you going to
be able to sleep?
Or do you want to take
turns keeping watch?
There's no need.
I'm not afraid of Jack Knife.
Shh!
I know I can hold my
breath longer than him.
Ha, you've got a big head.
Are you afraid of him?
Jack Knife?
Nah.
I've got extremely rough scales,
and killer whales hate that.
[animal calling]
[gasping]
Calm down, OK?
It's just a loon,
nothing to be afraid of.
No, no, I know.
I wasn't afraid.
I-- I just twitched.
That's all.
Oh, OK.
[chuckles] Hm.
[bird chirping]
GOOSE 1: Oh, I was right, eh?
It's a gray beluga.
GOOSE 2: What do you
mean, you were right?
I'm the one who said, look,
there's a gray beluga,
but you didn't hear me
because you honk nonstop.
GOOSE 1: Oh, I
honk nonstop, do I?
GOOSE 2: Yes!
GOOSE 1: Ho, ho, and you
don't honk all the time?
BOTH: Ooh, hello!
[gasps] Help!
Sorry, little one.
We didn't mean to scare you.
Are you OK?
Yeah.
Are you lost?
No.
No, no.
I'm going to the great ice floe.
Ooh, the great ice floe, eh?
That's where we were hatched.
You'll see, it's beautiful.
We go back every year.
You mean we used to go back.
We don't anymore.
The proof is that we're here
in the middle of summer.
Do you know how to get there?
Head 0, 0 due north.
Uh--
Align yourself
with the North Star.
Uh, except the North Star
isn't exactly due north.
Well, no, [murmurs].
You see?
It'll be easy to find.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks a lot.
Watch out for the South Side.
The what?
Don't worry, ladies.
I'll watch over him.
[groans]
BOTH: Good luck!
Hey, look at you.
You've lost weight.
You think so?
Did you eat anything today?
I have no appetite.
Nothing's very tempting.
Hello there, Madame Cod.
Huh?
Did he-- did he just say "cod"?
Hey, wait up!
How do you know that I'm a cod?
Well, you have the same
barbel as the other one.
What other one?
The one I met back there.
Oh!
And I thought we were the
last ones in the world.
All right, come on.
Let's go.
And where are we going?
To find the other one.
So that means that
there's three of us?
The little gray one
was traveling alone.
He was going up north.
Yeah, he's capable
of holding his breath
for such a long time.
No one's ever seen that before.
It's a phenomenon.
And I heard that he
even foiled Jack Knife.
Huh?
Apparently.
That little one isn't
afraid of anything.
His name is Katak.
I've heard that name before.
That was his grandfather's name.
The grandson of
the famous Katak?
Did I just hear that right?
Uh, calm down, Daddy.
His grandson is here?
Uh, w-- w--
what are you talking about?
It's you and me, Katak!
[sighs]
[sneeze] I knew I'd
end up getting sick!
Shh!
[gasps] Oh, no!
[fretting]
I know you're here, Katak!
Don't be scared!
It's Jack-Lynn.
"It's Jack-Lynn."
I warned you about her!
Jack-Lynn: Katak,
you're in danger!
[sighs] There you are.
My father's looking for you.
He knows who you are.
And you led him right to us.
Well done.
No!
Stop it, Cyrano.
My dad's nowhere near
here, but just be careful.
Thank you!
You see now?
We can be friends.
Ugh.
"Thank you, Jack-Lynn."
"Thank you, Jack-Lynn."
Ugh, sure, thanks.
Can't you see it's a trap?
[sneezes] Ugh.
Why would it be a trap?
Are you jealous?
Ha, me, jealous?
Ha-- [sneezes]
[peaceful music]
Oh, I can't take this!
Why isn't he coming back?
Why did he leave
without saying anything?
He didn't think about me?
He didn't think of his mother?
Oh!
[sighs] He's gone to the
great ice floe to look for his
grandpa.
What?
And you knew and
didn't say anything?
Mother!
I promised I
wouldn't say anything.
Have a little faith in Katak.
He's still a child!
He's more mature
than you think.
Oh, come on now.
He's never even left here.
He doesn't know the dangers.
He's totally, totally oblivious!
That's the way you see him.
Mm-hmm.
Oh!
Oh, because you, you see
him as a responsible adult?
No, as a resourceful
and courageous young male
who needs to assert himself.
[groans]
Mom!
Oh!
Are you all right, Mom?
Yes.
Mm.
Oh, I just don't understand.
Going to look for his grandpa
at the great ice floe?
He's going to
the great ice floe?
Wow.
All alone?
Yah.
Eh, no.
He's not alone.
There's someone
watching over him.
There's someone with him?
Yeah.
BOTH: A sturgeon.
Guh.
Thank you.
No worries.
Safe travels.
Safe travels to you as well!
Be careful!
He thinks he can escape
me, that lousy little guppie.
Are you ready?
No.
I'm not going to
help you find him.
Hmm?
Do your own dirty work!
All you do is think about
yourself all the time.
Jack-Lynn, I've been waiting
for years to get my revenge
on Katak, and I refuse to let
him humiliate me any longer!
I see.
If your pride matters
more to you than me,
then just forget about me!
Are we asserting
our independence?
Call it whatever you like.
I'm leaving!
And don't you dare follow me.
I don't need you.
Understand?
I do!
But you'll be back, little girl.
You'll soon realize
that you need family.
And your family is me!
[groans]
Oh, I'm starving!
[laughs] They look good.
[slurps] [laughs]
Wow.
What is that?
[clacking]
[straining] Oh, that's good.
[chuckles] [gulps]
Cyrano, are you seeing this?
Ah!
Hi!
No, no, don't run away!
Shh!
It's me.
Let's play.
Come on!
[giggling]
[slurping] Ah.
I haven't enjoyed a meal
like that in a long time.
You, Katak?
Katak?
[giggling]
[groans]
Katak?
Hey.
Look at that.
[giggles]
K, catch!
Pass it!
Here you go!
I got it!
I got it!
[laughing]
Hold on, hold on.
Over here!
Lure it in!
Oh!
Katak!
No!
What are you doing?
You're playing with her?
Oh, boy.
Jack-Lynn: It's my turn!
No, it's mine!
Ah!
[straining]
[giggles]
Hey, follow me.
Wow.
Whoa.
It's my secret hiding place.
Just for me.
So cool.
Oh!
[laughs]
That's enough!
Oh!
You!
You stay away from my friend.
And Katak, I can't leave
you alone for two minutes!
Not so loud, Cyrano.
[grumbles]
[groans]
Can't even grab a quick
bite to eat without--
watch out!
Ah!
Hello.
Guess who's back?
[snickers] [straining]
Katak, over here!
Yeah!
I'm coming!
[thud]
Oh!
[groaning]
1, 2, 3!
Oh!
[straining] Ugh!
What the?
I told you not to follow me!
Jack-Lynn!
I don't believe this.
My own daughter betrays me?
I didn't betray anyone!
I'm just tired of you
dwelling in the past.
I can't take it!
[groans] Jack-Lynn, you
helped him to get away!
I helped him because--
because I can't stand violence!
You know that.
Would you mind telling me
what you were doing with him?
Nothing.
I, um, uh, was
exploring the wreck,
and then we ran into each other.
Eh?
Jack-Lynn: By chance.
But it's Katak!
I would have done the same
thing no matter who it was!
If you're not
going to help me,
daughter, then make sure
you stay out of my way.
Ugh!
[groaning]
[clacking]
I need to go.
I think something's
happened to him.
I can feel it.
I can feel it right here.
He needs me.
I have to help him!
But you don't even
know where he is.
Yes, but--
[grandma moaning]
Mother.
What is it, Mother?
Are you in pain?
Ow!
Sorry about the scoots.
Do you find my skin rough?
Pretty much, yeah.
It is.
Lucky you're here.
The only thing is now Jack
Knife thinks I'm the enemy,
too.
Sorry about that.
Do you want to go back?
Not on your life.
You're really not
scared, are you?
[slurps] Not
enough to leave you.
My mom's going to be worried.
That's for sure.
[sneezes]
My grandmother will, too.
I hope she doesn't leave
us before I get back.
Well, we're almost there.
Are you missing anyone?
I have no family.
Do you have any friends?
Oh, friends, friends
who just laugh at my nose.
I don't need those.
[chuckles] Oh,
yeah, you're right.
No one needs friends like that.
The problem with your
big nose, Cyrano,
is that it hides all
your great qualities.
[laughs]
Oh, you.
[laughter]
[water splashing]
[spraying]
Where are you, Katak?
Well, apparently, he's
managed to escape twice
from Jack Knife.
He's a strong one, that one.
As strong as his
grandfather, eh?
Whoa, I think you
mean much stronger.
[screaming]
Polestar!
POLESTAR: Oh!
Tell me where Katak
is, or I'll swallow her!
Oh, we haven't
seen Katak in ages!
POLESTAR: Oh, that's not true.
We saw him three days ago.
Remember?
His friend got a cold.
But-- but I--
I don't know where he is!
It's true!
I swear to you!
Let her go!
Go find him.
You have five minutes
to report back.
If you don't--
Ahh!
Huh?
That's the geese!
POLESTAR: I can't see!
I can't see anything!
Get going!
First let her go!
Get going!
[whale call]
POLESTAR: Help me, please!
Oh!
[groaning] Oh, it's him.
Where's it coming from?
Ugh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
[groans]
Oh, Polestar, I'm
begging you, move.
Oh.
Oh, my Polestar.
Say something.
[groans] How
are you doing, eh?
Oh.
That was impressive.
So then it worked.
How did you that would
work on Jack Knife?
That's what my
grandpa did to escape.
Grandma wasn't just
making up stories.
Meanwhile, we have
no clue where he went.
[sneezes]
Shh.
You know, if you want to
talk about it, I'm listening.
That was a pretty
traumatic event.
Oh, yeah, don't I know it.
It's really not very good
to bottle up your emotions.
Oh, holy mackerel.
There he is again.
[gasp] Stop.
A killer whale.
[snickering]
Hmm?
Hey, wait for me!
I think we can
come out now, Cyrano.
Think he's gone?
[starting to sneeze]
Shh!
Yeah, but we should
still be quiet.
Whoa.
Oh, it's an iceberg!
Oh, whoa.
Wow.
Wow.
[thud]
[blubbers]
Hmm.
Eh?
Ah!
[straining] Hey!
[straining]
Incredible.
[sea gulls calling]
Is anyone else getting
strange sensations?
[cracking]
Run!
[dramatic music]
Run away!
Help!
Move!
Help!
[groaning] What?
Bosco?
Albi?
Naya?
Over here.
Lulu, we're here.
uh, so Albi isn't here then?
Mm-mm.
Albi!
Albi!
Not so loud.
The killer whale could be near.
Albi?
LULU: Albi!
Albi!
BOSCO: Albi!
LULU: Albi!
BOSCO: Albi!
LULU: Albi!
Albi!
Huh?
What?
Cyrano.
Huh?
Hey wake up.
Jack Knife?
No, no, no.
Listen.
It must have been a dream.
[coughs] [slurps]
[sighs] Almost there, Grandma.
Hold on.
[groaning]
Do you want some air?
Mother?
It's-- it's Katak.
Do you hear him?
Oh, let him sleep.
But we should tell him, eh?
Jack Knife!
[coughing]
There's no danger right now.
Jack Knife's going six
knots headed up north.
Do you know the other one?
What other one?
The other one who is--
you tell him.
No, you.
I can't do it.
What?
Oh, come.
[ethereal music]
Albi?
Is he OK?
Mm-mm-mm.
[groaning]
BOTH: He's alive!
Albi, are you OK?
What are you doing here?
Are you alone?
Don't you recognize me?
Minnow?
He's fine.
Come on, let's go.
Hey!
Where do you think you're going?
I think we should
keep going farther.
No little gray baby's
going to tell me where to go!
You know, this
little gray baby
got as far as he did by
escaping from Jack Knife.
You think I believe
that, you big schnoz?
Ha!
Ah!
Hey!
Katak, why are you letting
this shrimp follow you?
[chuckling] Because
Cyrano is my best friend.
ALBI: 'Cause of you, we might
miss our trip down south.
KATAK: What trip?
Huh?
KATAK: What are
you talking about?
Did you hear that?
ALBI: Never mind.
Sounds like Katak!
KATAK: You can go if you want.
Yes!
Yes, it's him!
ALBI: You nosy partner,
no one asked you!
KATAK: OK, that's
enough, you two.
He's with Albi!
[laughing] Katak!
Lulu!
[giggling]
Oh, I'm so happy to see you!
LULU: We finally found you!
KATAK: You came all
this way just for me?
Aw.
BOTH: Katak!
[moaning]
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo!
Haha!
Woo-hoo!
Aw, ho-ho, I
just love reunions!
[laughs] Katak, why
didn't you just tell me?
Well, I have a
lot to tell you now.
Albi, what happened to you?
Um, I don't know.
Uh, I can't remember a thing.
I was afraid I'd
never see you again.
Come on.
[laughs] You know me.
Mm.
Mm.
You little guy.
Took us on quite the journey.
Good grief, Katak.
What were you thinking?
I'm sorry.
Little twerp.
Oh, clam up.
Yeah, clam up.
[coughs] Listen, we need
to make a little less noise.
Jack Knife has attacked
Katak a couple of times.
ALL: What?
Jack Knife, the killer whale?
Shh!
And up till now, we've always
managed to get away from him.
Ah, you've listened to too
many of your grandma's stories.
How, uh-- how
is Grandma doing?
We don't know.
Bosco, maybe it was Jack
Knife who we saw before.
Oh, come on!
[laughs] Don't say
I didn't warn you.
[coughs]
Are you ready for a sprint?
Let's get going!
Come on, guys.
And 1 and 2 and 3 and
4 and 1 and 2 and 3.
Let's go, swimmers.
The race is on.
Let's get you
back to your mother.
Not just yet.
We're so close now!
[whistles] Follow me!
Not a chance!
[laughs]
ALL: Huh?
Uh.
D'oh.
Katak, wait up.
I promised Grandma I
would find my grandpa.
And there's no way I'm
going back without him.
That's what I figured.
[laughs]
Come here!
That's an order!
No!
We're on a mission.
[groans] No use
trying to stop them.
Oh, boy.
[somber music]
Jack-Lynn, let me
just settle this.
And when it's over, I--
I'll be a better father.
I promise you.
Yeah, we'll see.
But I--
I--
[spraying]
Oh.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
I've never seen
anything so beautiful.
Oh, sea unicorns!
Grandma was right!
They do exist!
[laughs]
Oh.
Huh?
Whoa.
[coughing]
You really don't look good.
You made it.
You did it.
We did it.
[coughing] You
don't need me anymore.
That's not true.
I'll always need a friend.
[coughing]
But I think you
should go back home
before you cough up a gill.
[laughs] Yeah.
[coughs] I'm going to miss you.
Thanks.
I couldn't have
done it without you.
And without you,
I wouldn't have
gotten the trip of a lifetime.
Take care of yourself.
You, too.
Hey, Katak!
[laughs] Come!
Let's fill our bellies.
Yeah, I'm coming!
Huh?
Cyrano?
See you soon!
[ethereal music]
[yawning]
I think everyone deserves to
stop and rest for the night.
[ethereal music]
[snoring]
Huh?
Huh?
We're trapped!
It's a sab sack.
A what?
[scoffs] If we stay here,
we won't be able to breathe.
We're going to die!
What should we do?
Keep going further?
Or should we turn back?
I'll look for open water.
Ha!
I can hold my
breath the longest.
No, Katak.
I should do that.
Oh, have faith in me!
I'll signal you when
I find a way out.
Oh, good luck.
1, 2, 3.
What is that?
[roaring]
[gasping]
A monster!
[roaring]
We're never going
to be able to breathe!
13, 14, 15, 16,
17, 18, 19, 20.
[suspenseful music]
[roaring]
I didn't have time
to take a deep breath.
You?
I'm going up!
No, no, no!
[roaring]
Ah!
It's too risky.
Hopefully there'll be
another opening nearby.
[suspenseful music]
[gasping]
[lowing]
Huh?
Quick!
Get down!
[growling]
101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106.
[growling]
1,201, 1,202, 1,203,
1,204, 1,205, 1,206.
[sniffing]
[roaring]
Oh, no!
I can't hold my
breath for much longer!
2,225, 2,226, 2,227.
Oh, even Katak can't stay
underwater much longer.
[whale calling]
Huh?
Katak?
BOSCO: Yes!
Yes!
It's him!
Oh, yes!
Looks like he found open water!
[laughs]
He says to go
towards the rising sun.
Oh, well done, Katak!
You're the best!
[gasping] [panting]
[bear growling]
Huh?
Oh!
[roaring]
Get out of here!
Huh?
Jack-Lynn?
You leave that one alone!
He's all mine!
[gasping]
Yeah, thanks, Katak.
Huh?
LULU: Katak!
[roaring]
Daddy!
No, Jack-Lynn, stay back!
Daddy!
We've got to do something!
Get away while you still can!
Katak!
Katak!
Come here!
Quick!
We've got to get out of here!
Come on!
What are you doing?
I can't just
abandon my friend.
Come on, Katak.
It's a killer whale.
But she saved my life.
If you don't leave, it will
all have been for nothing.
Jack-Lynn.
BOSCO: Let's go!
Hurry up!
[roaring]
[sighing]
Daddy.
I just need to rest
here a little bit.
I'm so sorry.
I shouldn't have--
Shh, shh, shh,
shh, my little girl.
[crying]
Live your life
the way you want.
You're losing
all your strength.
It's nothing.
My wounds will heal.
No!
No, it's bad.
Let me help you.
You see, you are strong.
I love you, Daddy.
Stay with me, please.
I love you, too.
[groans]
[crying]
Huh?
Bah!
[making funny noises]
[giggling]
Look, another pod!
Whoa!
They look exactly like us!
The mothers with their babies.
[laughs]
Aw, the last
time I saw a baby,
I was a little bitty baby.
Is this a dream?
We made it!
[whale call]
I tell you, the other
day, the sea unicorns
were floating on quite the--
Hey, did you all hear that?
That sound, is that--
Quick, let's go see!
Oh, other belugas!
Hi!
Hello!
I don't think we've ever met.
There sure are
a lot of you here.
Yep, a whole pod.
That's right.
Come on, let me introduce you.
[laughs] I knew it!
Woo-hoo!
[laughing]
It's beautiful here!
Hey, you're from the river.
Bears?
My dear lady, we
had a narrow escape.
Oh, wow.
Do you know a Katak?
You followed the shore
the whole way here?
If you see my
grandfather, tell me!
And we came across
the killer whale.
He's got an
anchor-shaped scar.
Did you hear?
Apparently, they're
from the river.
His name's Katak, like me!
No, they came all this way?
They must be exhausted.
He has a scar.
There are belugas
in the river?
He's my grandfather.
Told you.
Uh, do you often
see polar bears?
All the time.
Killer whales as well.
How about floaters?
They come up here?
[spraying]
Yeah, more and more.
[foghorn]
It's really annoying.
Yeah, but you have
so many little ones.
You don't where you come from?
No.
My name's Cammy.
Lulu.
Nice to meet you.
[whale calling]
Huh?
[whale calling]
Grandpa!
Could it be that I have
a grandson from the river?
Your name's Katak?
Yes, and my mother, uh,
your daughter is named Marina.
Marina.
But that's not why
I came to see you.
It's for Grandma.
Do you remember her?
She took care of you.
Oh, of course.
I could never forget her.
She always talks about you.
She does?
Yes!
She says she still loves you.
And you traveled all
this way to tell me that?
No, I came here to get you.
She's going to leave
us soon, and I'd
like for her to be happy.
You're just like me, you know.
Really?
I also was late turning white.
[chuckles]
And did it bother you?
Mm, a bit.
And you?
Mm, a bit.
You know, your color
isn't what's important.
What counts is what
you have in here.
It's Jack-Lynn.
She lost her dad.
Do you like Jack-Lynn?
It's my fault she's
all alone right now.
I know it's sad for your
friend, but thanks to you,
the belugas are now free from
a fierce and cruel predator.
Yeah.
I didn't know I had a grandson
who was this courageous.
Jack Knife is gone, and your
friendship with Jack-Lynn,
for me, is a sign of hope.
You should go and see her.
You OK?
I just feel so bad.
I didn't think I
needed him, but--
but now that he's not here.
I understand.
You miss him.
Very much.
Thanks for saving my life.
[crying] I think I'll stay
here for a little while.
Will I see you again?
Maybe.
But for sure, we'll
be friends for life.
Hey!
Uh, don't turn
away too fast, OK?
If you do, I won't
recognize you.
How about we go
explore over that way?
Want to go for a swim, Lulu?
OK.
[laughs]
Huh?
Your cousin Katak
seems really cool.
Katak seems really cool.
Is it true what they're
saying about Jack Knife?
[rumbling]
Ugh, a digger.
[foghorn]
Oh, and a floater!
Quick!
[thudding]
Let's get out of here!
[foghorn]
Oh, what are we doing here?
It's worse than back home.
There's bears, killer whales,
floaters, and diggers.
Yeah, but there's
cute little babies, too.
It's becoming harder and
harder for us to live here.
You know, in the
river, there are places
where the floaters don't go.
Really?
Yeah, the protected zone.
The protected zone?
There aren't any
predators either.
Really?
Oh, I'm afraid of bears.
Can we go where you live?
Ah, my dear boy, you're
welcome whenever you want.
Friends, it's time to leave.
Destination-- the
Saint Lawrence River.
In the end, Katak, it wasn't
a bad idea at all coming here.
We can't predict the future,
but with all these little ones
we're bringing
back, we might have
saved the pod from extinction.
I can't wait to get to where
you live so our little ones can
grow up safely.
Oh, yes, in the
protected zone!
[chuckling]
In any case, we
no longer need to go
south with the other whales.
What?
We're not going south?
You know, your grandmother
sure had character.
[laughs] She hasn't changed.
You must take after her.
[laughs]
Oh!
Woo!
Hey!
Little one!
Hey!
Hello!
Hello, cod ladies!
Is that him?
No.
BOTH: Yes!
ALL: Hello!
Hi!
Hi, belugas.
He's the one I
was talking about!
He saved my life!
[laughs]
GEESE: Katak!
Hi!
It's thanks to him that
we're free of Jack Knife!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
ALL: Yay!
Wow, your cousin's a
real legend around here.
Katak!
Safe travels back!
No problem!
Uh, Minnow-- uh, Katak?
Uh, sorry for being such a, um--
It's all right, Albi.
Safe travels!
See you later!
Welcome to Terusack.
Oh, my.
It's so beautiful here.
[laughing]
Come on!
I want to show you the fjords.
Not that it's any of my
business, but those two there.
Mm-hmm.
[snoring] [groaning]
Grandma?
Grandma, take a look.
Katak?
My love.
It's been a long time.
Too long a time.
Mm.
You're as beautiful
as I remember.
Mom, I know you're
upset with me--
Ah, but you came back.
And I'm so very proud of you!
Mm.
GRANDMA: I have so
much to tell you.
I'd even say Grandma's
feeling better.
GRANDMA: First,
tell me about you.
Do you have children?
Any grandchildren?
Huh?
Katak!
[giggling]
Hey, Katak's
looking lighter, huh?
Nope, I didn't
turn any whiter.
But it doesn't bother me.
I am what I am.
Then stay like that.
You're pretty cool.
What do you say, Katak,
to coming and living
with the males?
For real?
Yeah.
Ya-hoo!
Ha-ha!
Ha-ha!
Wa-ha-ha-ha!
Woo-hoo!
Ha-ha!
Oh, Cyrano!
Well done, champ!
[laughs]
Woo-hoo!
[bright music]
[laughter]
Yay!
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Grandma?
Grandma, I really wish
you were here today.
Estelle finally became a mother.
WHALE: Oh, it's a
little girl, Estelle!
Very healthy.
[giggling]
Welcome, little gray one.
[bright music]
[music continues]
