Deep in the water, where the fish hang out, lives a glum, gloomy swimmer with
an ever-present pout.
It's another beautiful day on the beautiful reef with me, Beautiful Mike.
I know you can't see me, but I can assure you I am very attractive.
Up next, we're talking awkward encounters.
Have things ever got uncomfortable with a killer whale?
Plus, your chance to see Nicki Manawal live in Maritime Squid Gardens.
But first, it's the latest from Jordan Sharks.
Hot, sunshine, lookin' to us on a, too pricey, I'm original, flat tire visual,
locked in the track with the team.
So I say thanks for the power of Kista.
You can do this.
Maybe they won't even notice you.
So guess who I saw the other day, Is he okay?
Should we say something?
Like what?
I don't know.
Cheer up.
What's wrong with cheer up?
How would you feel if somebody told you to cheer up?
Hey, you don't think he can hear us, do you?
Cheer up!
I told you.
Nice going, Trish.
Hey, buddy!
Smile!
You'll live longer!

You are a pout-pout fish.
I am a pout-pout fish.
With a pout-pout face.
And you spread the dreary wearies.
I spread the dreary wearies.
All over the place.
Hey there, cranky pants.
Here's your mail.
It's another beautiful day of the beautiful rain.
Come on, you can do this.
Cheer up, mate.
Smile.
It takes more muscles to frown.
Give us a grin.
You are a pound-pound fish.
Hey there, cranky pants.
Cheer up, mate.
Smile.
Frown, grin.
Are a pound-pound fish.
Hi there, cranky pants.
Just this, thanks.
Are you sure?
Because we have other options.
This is what I want.
Thank you.
A reminder, for all you jellyfish out there, our Sweet Proquoi promotion ends today.
Yes, I got you.
Don't you see it?
Can't I just play for a minute, Dad?
We have to get home, remember?
You always say that.
We don't know those fish, kiddo.
So we can get to know them.
No, wait.
Stop!
Who is that?
What is his dad's shelter?
Is he in trouble when I play anymore?
What is he doing?
Why is his dad so angry around here?
It's okay.
Come on.
We can play together when we get home.
Perfect.
Dad!
Hey!
What are you doing?
Those are mine.
I clearly saw them first.
Whoa!
And that's how it works at a junkyard.
This is my home.
Oh, and might I say, what a beautiful job you've done decorating.
Grimy moss with old garbage, very bold.
I do wonder if it's a little cluttered, though.
Perhaps there are a few items you'd like taken off your fins?
Just put it back where you found it.
Oh, come on.
You know how hard it is to renovate on a budget.
And this extension has to happen ASAP.
What?
That's how many sea dragons have.
So where are your brothers and sisters?
Moved out.
I'm a late bloomer.
Well, that's one word for what you are.
Look.
You think that shoebox can handle all those little miracles?
Up-and-coming neighborhood, lot of potential, but if we don't expand,
there'll be no room for old Pip.
Who's Pip?
I'm Pip, silly.
So, what do you say?
Can you help Pip out?
Please?
Hmm?
Hmm.
OK, you can have a couple of things.
What about this?
No.
And this?
That's not available.
This is very me.
Don't touch that.
Do you have this in fuchsia?
Hey.
What is fuchsia?
This is a must-have.
Not with your bare fizz!
Oh, I don't know how I live without this!
Well, you're gonna keep living without it.
Well, what can I have?
You can have what I tell you.
What about this?
If you just...
What about this?
Wouldn't you please?
What about this?
Could you not?
Why are you saying no to everything I asked for?
Because this place is delicate, and if you just up and grab any old thing,
there's no telling what...
Happen.
My arm.
maybe some of it is salvageable.
Whoa!
Wow.
Exact same spot.
I'm not even sure how to react to that.
Wait, no.
Oh, come on, don't cry.
Why shouldn't I?
You made the ship crush my heart.
I mean, I might have had a minor part in that, but...
Put me in charge for one day and I try to do something nice and then you go
destroy our house.
Oh, what am I going to tell them?
They're going to be so bad and everything is going to change and
they'll send me away forever.
Okay, no, you don't want to do that.
It's all gone.
What are we going to do?
Only thing we can do.
Wait, where are you going?
Would you wait up?
Smile, you'll live longer.
Thanks, I will.
Yes.
Perfect for that mid-life cycle crisis.
You can't seriously be planning on rebuilding that ship from scratch.
You got a better idea?
Only about a million.
That's what I thought.
Wait, what about Shimmer?
I did.
I whispered it.
It's not like I was like, Shimmer!
Did someone say Shimmer?
Has someone seen Shimmer?
Do you know where Shimmer is?
I can see how you would blame me for that.
So, is it true what they say about her?
Depends on what you've heard.
I heard she's magic.
I heard she'll create anything you wish for.
I heard she's even more beautiful than me.
I heard no one's ever seen her.
I heard her scales were made of secrets.
I heard she's the daughter of a whisper and a dream.
I heard that the real shimmer was inside us all along.
I heard she can make that cranky pants on your malroot turn that frown upside down.
that's it.
We need to find her.
We tell her our wish, she fixes your ship, fixes my home, my parents aren't
mad, and there's room for my 300 baby brothers and sisters.
That's your plan.
Chase a made-up fish that grants magic wishes?
I should have known a fish like you wouldn't believe in Shimmer.
Dad?
Dad, where are you?
It's okay.
We can play together when we get home.
Dad?
Why did his dad shout?
Shimmer?
Okay, maybe I have heard of Shimmer.
But if she is real, she only grants one wish, and it takes so much energy, she
can't grant another one for a long, time.
Sounds like you've heard a lot.
Maybe.
But I'm warning you, if you chase a magical dream all over the ocean, hoping
for a new home and wind up with nothing, you'll be a lot sadder than you are
right now.
Woo-hoo!
We're gonna find Shimmer!
Did you even hear one word I said?
I heard six.
Magical, dream, new, home, right now!
Follow me.
We're looking for you know who.
Can't help you.
Come on, everyone knows you hear things.
A tuna coughs in the Baltic and you're there with a lozenge.
It doesn't mean I know everything.
Start crying.
What?
Trust me.
I need a wish because Mr.
Fish destroyed my home, and now my parents won't have any place for my 300
baby brothers and sisters if they can live, and they'll think it's all my
fault, and everything will change.
You destroyed a little girl's home?
You probably could have left that bit out.
But he lost his home too, and he's trying to help me get mine back.
We just need to find...
Please?
Okay, All right.
But this is unverified.
A business associate's upstairs neighbor's nephew reckons he may have
seen a pink and silver flash at Jellyfish Junction this week.
Jellyfish Junction?
I know where that is.
Let joy be unconfined.
Well, best of luck.
Wait, what?
You're not coming with me?
Why would I?
I've never been out of the reef by myself.
I'm scared.
Why don't you go?
I have a shop to run.
I have a home to rebuild.
You can't restore an entire trawler on your own.
He won't be alone.
We're going to restore that thing together.
Building A trawler ship and a friendship with every passing second.
We'll explore more about what makes you, Not because you want to, but because I
won't let it go.
And in the end, we will turn that frown upside down, because that would make you
more palatable to me.
What do you say?
You ready to turn those cranky pants into happy pants?
Okay, let's go find her.
Yay!
Fresh intel, coming in hot.
Still got it.
I got winner.
Good morning to the best of best in the world.
Archie.
Give me 10.
Dude, stop looking up.
It's going to be fine.
But it's not though.
The light's almost completely gone.
So it's a little bit colder down here.
Some of us don't mind being cool.
This guy gets it.
Actually, my arm is frozen.
I'm telling you, that kelp won't stop growing.
Which is exactly why we sent someone in to sort it out.
And we never saw Chuck again.
This is all your fault.
Probably should have checked we could grip kelp before we sent him.
In any case,
My mum would never let anything happen to us.
She's got a plan.
Cartelfish should be a beer.
Assemble.
See?
It's all good.
Huh?
My fellow cuttlefish, you all know the dire situation we face.
The kelp at the top of our abyss has grown so thick it's blocking our sun.
And with no sun,
We will perish.
What?
Perish?
Oh, I don't want to perish.
Sorry.
This leaves us with only one choice.
Here it comes.
We must abandon the abyss.
Forever.
What?
Way to keep it chill.
It makes no sense.
This is our home.
We can't just abandon it.
I understand, Benji, but if we don't take drastic action now, the whole pod
is in danger.
We have to leave.
And go where?
The reef above the kelp.
Mum, there's tons of fish already living on the reef.
Then they'll have some new neighbors.
What if they don't want us there?
I'm sure we'll find a way to convince them.
I know you don't like it, but sometimes that's what being a leader is.
Making hard decisions.
I know how to be a leader.
I'm sorry, Benji, but in 24 hours, the kelp will completely block the abyss.
We are out of time.
What about Shimmer?
The fairy tale wishing fish.
She's not a fairy tale.
I've seen the flashes of pink light at the top of the abyss.
She's real.
And if I can find her, I can wish the kelp away and keep her home.
This whole place has to be ready to ship out in a matter of hours.
You need to be here to set an example.
So, I guess that's it then?
Yep.
I'm going to find Shimmer.
Wait, what?
Benji!
What?
Do you have any idea what your mum will do if she finds out?
Then she better not find out.
No, I am not covering for you.
I'm scared enough of my mum.
Just be cool.
I won't be long.
How could you say that?
No one even knows where Shimmer is.
Actually, I might be able to help you find her.
No way.
You know they can't be trusted.
And why would you help us?
What's in it for you?
A hot vent like Mr.
Lobster over there?
Oh, yeah.
That's the business.
Maybe while you're wishing the kelp away, you're throwing a little hot vent
to your starfish buddy.
Okay.
What do you got?
I just got a C-mail of the Starfish Network.
Word is shimmers in Jellyfish Junction, but a couple of fish were asking about
it too.
If they get there first, she'll be all wished out.
Sorry, I don't know why I keep doing that.
Jellyfish Junction's close.
There's no way 2 fish can beat me there.
Hey, cover for me till I get back.
I won't let you down.
You're going to blow it for sure.
I know.
And we pass another rock and it looks like the last one.
Except this has a moss or maybe it has last.
I can't remember the last rock if I'm being totally honest.
It's been 45 minutes.
Well, what song would you like?
I don't want any...
There it is.
Oh, I love that song.
There it is.
You lasted for a while, but there it is.
No.
Jellyfish Junction.
Look.
There it is.
Where is everyone?
What happened to this planet?
Caddlefish is what?
Carrying on like an absolute ink stain, if you ask me.
Why would anyone do this?
Reckons he was looking for Shimmer.
Shouting and inking all over the place.
So we're doing our best to duck for cover.
And we cop the business end of a rock, square in the pinnacle.
And he just left you like this?
Worse.
He's like, oi, tell us where Shimmer is and I'll free you.
Which I call Bulshark on right away.
But we've hardly got much choice, do we?
So we tell him, and he's like, oh, catches and off he pops.
What?
Sorry, forgot you don't speak Australian.
They said a cuttlefish did this to them, even though they told him where Shimmer is.
Wait, you know where Shimmer is?
Did you hear that, Pip?
She's real.
Pip?
Pip!
Don't worry, I'll have you out in no time.
Watch out!
Whoa!
What the flip?
The tentacles.
Stingers.
Deadly.
What?
Those stingers on our tentacles?
We'll kill her for a little lady like you if you got stung.
Oh.
So, how should we proceed them?
We should leave.
We can't leave.
We'll come back.
We just have to find Shimmer and make our wish.
Then we can help them.
And they're just stuck to the bottom of the ocean till then?
Did you not hear what they just said?
Someone else is looking for Shimmer, and they've got a head start.
If they get to her first, she won't have any wishpower left.
Well, I'm sorry, but I happen to live by a certain code.
Always help friends stuck under a rock, because it's friendly.
And when you do, they'll be your friends and they'll help you someday when you're
under a rock or some other big heavy thing.
You just made that up.
And it's terribly worded.
Great message though, hey!
And we'll fully help you as if you're trapped under a thing and that.
See?
Pip, no!
Oh, for the love of blub, blub, blub.
Out of the way!
no.
Mr.
Fish.
Mr.
Fish, are you OK?
I'm great.
I'm on a fun and exciting adventure with Pippity Pip Pip Pip Pip.
And we're going to find us a skimper, that magic flesh.
He doesn't know what he means, Old mate's fighting at least five blasts and
Urotoxins right now.
Isn't water weird?
What even is water?
Don't stress.
He'll be good as in three, two, one.
Okay, what happened?
You freed the jellyfish.
Cheers, mate.
And I think you saved my life.
I did?
But we still have to find Shimmer.
So come on now, you big hero.
Let's go.
Hero?
Pip!
Wait up!
So do you think we've got any chance of catching up to that cuttlefish?
I reckon, since he's going to the complete wrong place.
What?
Had a feeling he was going to stitch us up after being such a massive ink stain
up to that point.
So we sent him in the total wrong direction.
Straight into a kelp forest!
Cop that!
Oh, you know, but since you two helped us, we'll tell you the truth.
My roommate's long-lost mother's psychic said she saw something shimmery out of
the corner of her eye heading into...
Dolphin Cove.
It's just up there where the reef turns pink and purple.
Thank you.
See ya.
Slow shimmer is a dolphin cove.
This kill is impossible.
Why would Shimmer even be here?
Maybe she wouldn't.
Word on the current is that you got some bad intel.
From who?
Couple of jellies with a score to settle.
It was a bit of an ink stain to them.
They got you hook, line, and sink, and hermano gave Shimmer's real location to
a sea dragon kid and some fish with a sad pouty face.
So where is she?
Like crazy pouty.
Whatever.
Where is she?
Wait.
when you see his face and you're like, is everything okay?
Because I'd be happy to talk it out with you if you want.
I know that we barely know each other, but I'd be happy to change that.
Maybe over some coffee or some tea.
How would you just tell me where Shimmer actually is, please?
Oh, such an ink stain.
She's a dolphin coat, okay?
I better, better, better.
Just don't forget about that hot tub when you're making your wish.
Now you better ink it faster, Manito, because they're away.
Why did I tell him to ink it?
Come on, Benji.
Let's go.
What is taking him so long?
Perhaps he will never return and you will be blamed for his disappearance.
You're not helping.
I'm not trying to.
What am I going to say if she sees me?
Who?
What do you mean who?
The scariest cuttlefish in the whole ocean.
I don't follow.
His mum.
Benji's mum.
Marin.
Yes.
You knew she was there.
Oui.
Where is my son?
You have a son?
But you're so youthful and vibrant.
Oh, you mean Benji?
Oh, yeah, but he's just...
He's just...
Getting some moving shells.
Getting some moving shells to help with the move, which is totally on board with
now, as am I.
Superb idea, Merrick.
Yes, You know I don't have a lot of time for dishonesty, Archie.
If I find out what you've told me isn't true, you do know who'll be hearing
about it.
Yes, ma'am.
If he's not by my side by the time the pod is ready to ship out, I'll hold you
personally responsible.
Now what?
Nothing I do is going to get Benji back here any faster.
You could buy yourself some time.
You can slow down the rest of the pod, being ready to chip out.
What are you talking about?
Sabotage.
All right, bring her in.
Put her down over there next way.
Taking 5.
Nice work, everyone.
Okay, let's get back to...
Where are the shells?
Can't move shells if you can't find them.
And no one will ever know!
Are those the extra supplies?
Yep, that's them.
What a time saver.
That's exactly where they need to go.
Way to take the initiative, Kit.
Speaks to you.
We're going to be ready to ship out even faster.
Hey, bring the rest of it over here.
Roger that.
Any other bright ideas?
Just one.
Hide.
Do you think that could be it?
Yeah.
There's a pretty good chance.
Come on!
Do you think they used enough pink?
my God.
Who is she?
We need to meet her now.
Wait, we don't know them.
Stop.
Excuse you.
I don't think we invited you to Dolphin Cove.
Oh my gosh, you're so pretty.
Well, yeah.
We're pink dolphins?
It's like we're dolphins, but we're also pink?
She gets it, Karina.
That's right.
Stop.
I'm dead.
Put me in a box.
What?
What do you mean what?
Your lips, babe.
Why did you get them done?
You gotta tell me.
Done?
Stop.
You were not born with those.
I'm obsessed.
So, Finn.
I'm not trying to make Finn happen.
It's not going to happen.
Okay, that's enough.
We're looking for...
Shimmer.
Have you seen her?
Well, yeah.
She's the star of the ocean.
Why wouldn't she visit Dolphin Cove?
Yes, then you can help.
to having 300 new baby brothers and sisters, and our home was too small for
all of them and me, so I had to make it bigger, but then Mr.
Fisher's boat crushed the whole thing, and now I have no home, and my mom and
dad will be mad, and everything will change, and I just need Shimmer to
granny my wish and make it all again again.
Okay, that was a lot.
We are way too starved.
serving to follow that.
We should get shark shacked.
You know that bloats me, and it's way too far.
Well, I don't know what's closer.
Hmm?
They are.
Well, that took an unfortunate turn.
I'll take the little one.
She looks sweet.
I'll try him.
I look bitter!
Swim!
I told you, this is why you don't talk to fish you don't know!
Aren't they mammals?
Aw, you are getting tired.
Get ready for brunch, girls!
That's your good!
That's your boss!
Over there!
Go!
It's okay.
We're safe now.
They won't find us in here.
Found him.
Hey, girl.
Fishy, fishy.
We just lost the ****.
I thought I was going to eat him.
Shut up, Karina.
Where is it?
Well, Who do we have here?
It's the fish we were chasing from earlier.
What?
Are you girls still in the mood for fish?
Actually, no.
Yeah, me neither.
That kelp was actually really filling.
And I'm not bloated.
We should have this like all of the time.
Yeah.
So lucky they hid in there.
For once.
So true.
Thank you.
If there's ever anything we can do.
Well, see ya.
Wait!
What?
You said you'd help us if there was ever anything you could do.
Who takes that literally?
We need to know where Shimmer is.
Wow.
Thirsty for Shimmer Munch?
You're, like, obsessed with her.
It's giving heavy stalker vibes.
I know, right?
Sorry.
It's just way more fun on that side of the conversation.
Could you please just tell us?
It would be...
So thin.
Yuck!
Ew!
Never say that again.
What?
You mean so thin?
Gross!
No!
Stop!
Or I'll use my base.
Only if you tell us about Shimmer.
Fine.
Whatever.
My step-cousins, all pairs, secret crush saw something pink and silver in crystal caves.
That's on the other side of the ocean.
that is your point.
You must know a shortcut.
Oh, it never ends with you two.
I'll say it again.
Okay, There is a way you can get there faster.
What's happening?
You wanted a shortcut.
Hold on.
For what?
For this.
Hey, it's important to hold a grown-up 's claw before crossing.
But what?
It's a classic.
It still kind of works.
Come on, Benji.
You're almost there.
He is really pouty.
That was so fun!
I feel so alive!
Wasn't that the best?
It was...
okay.
Was that a smile?
No.
I think it was!
Somebody liked it...
No...
Hey, okay, just hold it.
Look.
Crystal Caves.
Let's go get her.
It's none of our business, Pip.
But what if she needs help?
And what if she tries to eat us?
We can't leave her when she sounds so sad.
We don't know that fish.
Maybe it's her hungry sound.
Good point.
Are you sad?
Or are you hungry?
What are you doing?
You said we didn't know.
My puff swam into the crevasse and hasn't come up.
I think he's lost.
Sounds sad to me.
Do you need someone to go down there and find him for you?
Pip!
What?
A whale got lost down there.
Do you not realize how much more easily we could get lost?
Okay, so what do you suggest?
We go into Crystal Caves, find Shimmer, wish for our homes back, then we come
back and help the whale.
Did you ever get lost as a kid?
Did it feel like you could just wait around forever?
Dad, where are you?
How do you know we'll make it back?
I don't.
Pop?
If this turns out to be a setup so your baby can eat us, I'm going to be very disappointed.
We don't even eat fish.
Pup, pup, pup!
Puppy!
Pup!
Come here, little pup!
Mr.
Fish, you're here!
I can't see anything down here.
Me neither.
Grab my fin.
Okay, let's try this way.
It has to be this way.
No, Well, I guess you were right.
We did get lost.
I told you.
This is exactly why I didn't want to do this.
But oh no, we have to go in and save the whale pup.
Now I'm going to die in a crevasse.
And you know why?
Because you approached a fish you didn't know.
It's a mouth.
come on.
We made so many new friends today.
No, you made friends because you're little and cute and frilly.
You don't see what everyone's really like, but I do.
I guess I just wanted to believe every fish had some good in them.
Well, fat lot of good that did.
Look around.
Fine.
I will.
What are you doing?
If I find some light, I can find the whale pup.
So I'm going to keep looking.
And get more lost?
Or eaten?
Maybe I will.
But I'd rather fail alone out there than give up with someone like you in here
who thinks I'm just cute and frilly.
Wait, Pip!
We have to stick together!
Pip!
Pip?
Blub, blub, blub.
Look, I'm sorry, okay?
I shouldn't have blamed you.
Without you, we never would have got this close to finding Shimmer.
Honestly, without you, I would have stopped believing in her entirely.
You were right.
I do only look for the bad in other fish.
Because I'm scared that's all they'll see in me.
I'm A pout-pout fish with a pout-pout face.
That's all I've ever been.
Until I met you.
And you saw something else.
I don't know how we're going to get out of here.
But I do know I can't do it without someone like you, who keeps looking for
the light, even in the darkest places.
But what if we don't get out and we never find Shimmer?
You set it yourself.
You're not even sure that she's real.
I know.
But that wasn't true.
Well, hello there.
She was the nicest, most beautiful fish I'd ever seen.
Can I help you, little fish?
I just wish I could find my dad.
let's see if we can make that happen.
Hey!
Get out!
Papa!
There you are.
I thought I'd lost you.
Me too.
But then, the big shiny fish over there helped me.
Where did she go?
Well, thank you, shiny fish.
Boy, she really is shiny, No, she was real.
I saw her.
She was right there.
Wasn't she?
Come on, let's go home.
And remember, kiddo, it's scary out there.
We need to stick with the fish we know.
Yes, Papa.
Bit by bit, it got easier to accept that I imagined it.
Then I met you, and it all started coming back.
Back then, I didn't even know Shimmer could grant a wish, but the truth is,
she'd already given me exactly what I wanted.
For one moment, other fish didn't seem so scary.
The whole world felt...
safe.
So you think Shimmer can grant my wish and I'll get a new home and everything
won't change?
Why do you keep saying that?
What do you think is going to change?
I know how busy my parents are going to be.
They won't even have time to think about me after that.
They probably won't even remember I exist.
But hey, if I'm down here, mom and dad can find a new home for the babies.
And I won't be there to watch them forget all about me.
Pip, listen to me.
And they wouldn't forget you.
I've been with you one day, and I'll never forget you as long as I live.
Because I'm cute and frilly?
Because you care.
Even about a dreary, weary old fish like me.
Really?
Why is it bright?
Wow.
So beautiful.
Who said that?
That is the sweetest thing this eel has ever heard in me entire life.
And here come the raindrops.
Sorry to eavesdrop, but I can't resist a heart-wrenching coming-of-age origin story.
Well, goodbye forever.
Wait.
I know you don't know us, but do you think maybe you could help us?
Any sign of him?
Not yet.
Wait!
Aha!
Bingo!
Hey, buddy.
Are you looking for your mom?
I got so lost in the dark.
That's okay, we did too.
Come on, let's get you back to your mom.
Mom!
Pup!
Oh, my goodness!
Thank you.
Oh, blimey!
How bright is it up here?
How do any of you still have your corneas?
Thank you for all your help, Mr.
Eel.
Oh, the pleasure was all mine.
We're over here.
Of course.
There you are.
Come back any.
Ow!
Who put that there?
Well, I guess this is it.
Shall we go find Shimmer?
Nothing can stop us now.
Mister Fish, look!
I know those colors.
It's her!
Shut up!
I knew you were real.
Well, hello again.
It's been a long time.
You're all grown up.
Oh, thank you.
Shimmer, we need to make a wish.
I understand, but there are some...
What was that?
I'm sorry for you.
But I have to do this.
Shimmer!
What do we do?
Follow that cuttlefish!
Hurry!
Help!
Doodle!
Go on.
Come on, Mr.
Fish, I've almost got him.
Okay, this ends now.
He got away!
There!
Hurry, before he makes a wish!
It's time.
Cuttlefish of the abyss.
Saying goodbye is never easy.
We've all loved this place.
It's been our home where we've met new friends, fallen in love, shared moments
with family and felt safe.
But I think I speak for every single one of us when I say, where's my son?
I wasn't thinking that.
My son's right there.
Hey!
Here she comes.
You ready?
No.
Great.
Marin, what a lovely surprise.
And might I...
Where is he?
We're about to go.
Yeah, well, Benji's been going for a while, if you follow my current.
You're still with me, pal.
He got a hold of some bad clams, but he'll be ready soon.
Archibald, Vincenzo, Squidrioli, you do know how bad this gets if I have to tell
your mother.
Yeah, well, can't be any worse than those clams.
I wouldn't count on that.
What?
Who are you?
Bonjour.
I'm Benji.
Okay, the truth is...
Can I have your attention?
He's right there.
Ha ha ha!
Funny, right?
No need to tell my mum.
The move is...
Oh!
We don't have to leave!
Benji!
Mom, look!
Shimmer, it's real!
Shimmer!
Shimmer, Shimmer, Shane, please take my wish.
I need a wish.
Shimmer, no, help me.
I need a wish.
Shimmer.
In honor of my mother and my party, I wish for-- Stop!
Please don't take her wish.
I wish for you to get rid of all the kelp covering our abyss so we don't have
to leave our home.
No.
It's so hard.
Yes.
I can't.
Is this because I fish-napped you?
It didn't help.
But you have to.
That's the rule.
You're the wishing fish.
No, I'm not.
I can't grant your wish.
Or yours.
I don't have the power to grant wishes.
I never have.
But I met you when I was little.
You granted my wish to find my dad.
No.
You made that wish come true when you found the confidence to come out from
where you were hiding, so he could see you.
I look different from other fish, so everyone assumed I have some kind of power.
But the truth is, the power to make wishes come true lies inside of you.
Not me.
Then it's settled.
Mom.
We leave now to redevelop the reef.
Redevelop the reef?
You disobeyed me and forced a friend to lie for you.
That's not the behavior of a leader.
I'm very disappointed in you, Benji.
Archie!
Hey guys!
Hi!
I think you should leave the ring.
I think I should leave the ring.
What's going on up there?
They can't redevelop the reef.
What are we going to do?
You really can't help us at all?
I wish I could.
I never want to let anyone down.
That's why I constantly move around.
Trust me, if I was magical, I would have granted my own wish and got rid of my
shimmer for good.
Don't say that.
You are magical.
That shimmer gives fish like us hope.
To keep looking for the light, even in the darkest places.
That's it.
We can still save the reef.
What do you say?
Me?
I'm no use to anyone.
My own mom doesn't even want me around.
You're just trying to save your home, like us.
So let's make that happen together.
You really think you can save my home?
I think we can.
How?
Because when you help friends stuck under a rock, they'll help you when
you're under a rock or another big heavy thing.
I don't understand, and that was terribly worded.
Benji, how fast can you get a message to Jellyfish Junction, Dolphin Cove, and
Crystal Caves?
Not fast enough.
But I do know somebody who cares!
Me?
To the right, slightly.
What do you want to say?
Hey, friends.
You know what it's a great day for?
Leaving forever.
It is a great day to leave forever.
Right this way.
Thank you.
It's beautiful Mike and a strangely unbeautiful day on the beautiful reef as
some kind of mass evacuation seems to be happening.
Hey, who are you?
OK.
What are you doing?
Cool.
Hey, superstar.
Love the show, but I'd love even more.
Off the Reef.
Now, you must go off the Reef.
What is happening?
Where are you going?
How are they doing this?
is what cuttlefish do.
We can hypnotize other fish.
We're going to have to move fast.
What are we going to do?
Shh.
Quiet or they will find us.
Shimmer, Shimmer, we need a wish.
Please save the reef.
If you want me to grant your wish, you have to listen to Mr.
Fish.
Mr.
Fish.
I'm Mr.
Fish.
Did she mean for that to rhyme?
We can keep our reef, but only if we work together, trust each other, and
leave immediately.
I know, it's scary, but it's the only way.
We have to find the confidence to come out from where we're hiding.
So who's with me?
Everyone, follow me!
We need to destroy all this cow!
So eat it, I've got it!
Tara, whatever it takes!
Just keep going as fast as you can!
Yeah, boy!
Whew!
It's been a lot of hard work, but I think we're almost done.
I'm not too sure about that.
Take that, Joe.
Aw.
It's too much.
I know, but what else can we do?
We just gotta hope our friends got the message.
With the speed of rip tide and the beauty of the goddess,
the hunger of a 300-pound mammal after a five-day juice cleanse?
Get ready for...
All-you-can-eat kelp!
This is so thin!
I made thin happen?
This is really happening!
Yeah, but it's happening, sister.
Because when this kelp meets our stingers...
The results will be...
Shocking!
This could actually work.
I don't know.
There's still so much.
Then it's lucky we've got backup.
No way.
Hi, cuttlefish.
Hi.
Amazing.
I don't know what to say.
Friends help friends.
Now it's your turn.
Mum!
We have to stop this.
I'll just be a second.
We've been over this.
But you don't understand.
No, you don't understand.
This is what has to happen.
Our old home is gone.
Look, I know I shouldn't have snuck off behind your back.
I know I shouldn't have dragged my friend into my lie.
And I know I'm not the leader you want me to be.
I'm sorry, Mum.
But a leader also stands up for what they believe is right.
You taught me that.
I love our pod.
And I love our home.
So I was willing to believe in a crazy miracle to save it.
The thing about crazy miracles, if you believe enough, sometimes they come true.
What do you think, Mum?
I can't believe it.
Benji, I think you're ready.
Really?
You want me to take over leadership of the pod?
What?
No.
You're being promoted to deputy assistant to the head of sanitation and
waste disposal.
Oh.
But it's a first step.
You showed me something today.
I'm so proud of you, Benji.
Thanks, Mum.
So, would you like to do the honors?
Cuttlefish of the pod.
The redevelopment is off.
We will return to the abyss.
This is why they call us cuddlefish.
Archie.
Dude.
Sorry, I'm just excited.
You should be.
You didn't blow it as much as I thought you would.
That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.
Mum, Dad, you're back!
Oh, we missed you so much.
You...
did?
Of course.
Now say hi to your new brothers and sisters.
Thank you for all of this.
If there's ever anything we can do...
Well, there is one project that could use some extra fins.
Almost there.
I can't believe they restored the whole thing.
Even this sea mold.
You think mine's impressive?
I guess you've got plenty of space for those brothers and sisters now.
Not as much as you'd think.
Come back and read us some story.
Story?
It's nothing.
Hey!
The pout pout fish?
What?
I just think more fish should hear about our adventures.
And I've already got shark circling to turn it into a movie.
Like that'll ever happen.
Thank you, Mr.
Fish.
I'm really glad you destroyed my home.
Me too.
Almost done here, pal.
Just need you to tell us where you want this.
Chuck it.
Okay.
Look at you.
should be so proud of yourself.
So, what do you want to do?
We could watch the snail races or catch up with the clams.
Oh, the crabs have a new game they want to show off.
So beautiful.
He's come such a long way.
Gosh, I love a happy ending.
Every flipping time.
Awesome.
Never thought.
I thought I could blow from you But it sure feels good to me Cut the dark and
unlock my light Turns out you were the key Thought my voice got a lot to say
And I know that the talk ain't cheap Summer servers are rolling stone Now I
like you next to me Spinning 'round and 'round And now I'm getting somewhere Got
to keep on rising
You gotta find yourself And I'm coming back full circle You gotta find yourself
And I won't be afraid to be You gotta find yourself So you don't hold on to
the heartache You gotta find yourself I'm coming back to me Fine, fine, fine,
fine Never open my heart this way But it sure feels good
To me Garvin' in the deep unknown Now I'm just breaking free Now I'm just
breaking free Can't forget you gotta let the love in So just let yourself believe
it Crack my shell, my stories to tell Now I'm coming back to me Spinning round
and round And now I'm getting somewhere Got to keep on rising
And I'm coming back full circle You gotta find yourself And I won't be
afraid to be You gotta find yourself So you don't hold on to the high You gotta
find yourself I'm coming back to me You gotta find yourself And I'm coming back
full circle You gotta find yourself
And I won't be afraid to be here You gotta find me from the back to set Bring
it back So you don't hold on to the hottest You gotta find yourself Oh, I'm
coming back to me Fine, fine, fine, fine
My seaweed chips.
The window is open.
Repeat, the window is open.
What?
