The Last Whale Singer (2025) Movie Script
THE LAST WHALE SINGER
Look out! Clear the way!
Large mammals coming through!
I need this area clear for official
Whale Singer business.
Nailed it.
Another glorious
Wait, Vincent! I'm not clear!
Did you see?
I got my whole tail out of the water!
Soon you'll be jumping higher
than your mother and me.
Can't breathe! Can't breathe!
Can't breathe!
You frightened the fish-guts
out of me, young humpback!
Vincent, apologize to Walter.
Sorry, Walt.
Occupational hazard.
We nannies are accustomed
to occasional terrifying ordeals.
Now, let's clean you up!
No, Walt, please!
Hold still!
As my teachers back at the Fancyfish
Academy for Aquatic Caretakers
used to say:
A dirty whale is beyond the pale.
This algae can prove very
problematic
And delicious!
Let's keep moving.
We should get a few leagues in
before nightfall.
This next reef is one
of the most beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you.
Mom! Dad! How far is it?
Patience, my love.
It's just up ahead, you'll
What's going on, Mama?
The coral are sick, dear.
We'll have to find
a new place to live.
Wait! My dad can help you!
You can, can't you?
As a Whale Singer,
it would be my honor.
Your dad's awesome!
Are you a Whale Singer too?
Yeah!
I mean I hope so.
You saved our reef!
Thank you, Mister Whale Singer!
Please, call me Humphrey.
Oh, come on, Walt! It's enough!
If you don't get cleaned, you'll
end up looking like a blobfish.
Is this what you want?
All right
Almost done!
-Wonderful!
-Bravo!
They grow up so fast
It's times like this
I'm glad I don't have tear ducts!
What's the matter, my love?
I sang it just like Dad.
But it didn't do anything.
Because you were singing my song.
To become a Whale Singer, you first
have to find your own song.
Find my own song?
Yes. You wouldn't swim using someone
else's flippers, would you?
I guess not
Vincent, we Whale Singers
belong to an ancient tradition.
Our job is to protect each
Each and every being in the oceans!
That's right.
Every Whale Singer must carve their
own path, and each path is unique.
There is a song within you
that only you can sing.
I don't understand
In time, my love, you will.
But I wanna find it now!
It's too bad for you that little
whales have bedtimes!
Mom!
I can't find my song if I'm sleeping!
You know your mother is right.
Has Walter brushed your baleens?
Yes?
Nice try. But I have a saying:
Baleen health is baleen wealth!
See you in the morning, everyone.
You'll have plenty of time
to practice, Vincent.
Just remember
Your song comes from within.
I can't wait to be a Whale Singer.
And we can't wait to hear
your song.
That can't be it.
Vincent?
Walter?
Dang it!
Stop or I'll scrub you
to smithereens! What's going on?
I'm practicing! I want to find
my song and surprise Mom and Dad.
Have you lost your barnacles?
We're in open waters! At night!
Vincent! My love!
He can't have gone far. The current
probably took him this way.
Humphrey, look!
No! Vincent!
I just need a little more practice!
Let me try!
It's not safe out here, Vincent,
let's go
What's that noise?
-Look out!
-Vincent!
Oh, no! Vincent!
Are you okay?
I think so.
What happened?
-Your parents they
-Mom? Dad?
Where are they, Walt?
There! I see them!
-Oh, no
-Mom! Dad!
Vincent! Stop!
Wait! Where are you going?
What's happening, Walt?
Your parents
they're descending to the Star Pool.
Star Pool?
What do you mean?
They're going, Vincent
They're leaving our world.
We have to let them go.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no!
I can sing! To save them!
Come on, song!
Work, please!
Mom! Dad!
I'm so sorry, Vincent
You won't get me this time, Vin!
I'm like a shark!
Always moving!
Oh, blowfish.
The look on your face, Walt!
What look?
Since you've mastered a great many
skills, which now includes leaping,
maybe it's time to, you know,
sing again?
I told you a million times.
Singing's not for me.
How do you know?
It's been so long!
Why, I can barely even remember
the last time you sang:
10 years, 4 months, 13 days,
and 11 hours ago.
Just forget about it.
I can't. Nay, I shan't!
Your parents chose me to care for you
until you become a Whale Singer.
Well, you're gonna be waiting
a long time,
'cause it's never going to happen.
Okay, okay, well, we'll see about that.
Hey, these sardines I know told me
about a magnificent shipwreck nearby.
Want to check it out?
Shipwreck?
That's the spirit! Come on.
That must be it!
Not much of a shipwreck.
Yes, bit a of let down. It looks
massive to a sardine, I guess.
Wait, what?
Where'd you go?
Vincent?
What's all the hubbub?
This will surely spread
It's only a matter of time.
If only the Whale Singer was
still alive! Remember?
He saved our reef when I was little!
Humphrey was the last of his kind.
What about his boy?
I thought the Singer's gift was
passed down to his children.
I heard the kid can't sing at all.
He's a bad egg!
If he can't save us, no one can!
We're doomed!
Vin! Wait!
Don't look so sad
I've got a saying:
A frown is just a depressing smile!
I'm tired of being compared
to my Dad!
It's not fair!
I'll never be like him.
That's okay.
You don't need to be like him.
All you need to be is yourself.
You mean a "bad egg"?
Great.
Wrong! A young whale
with great things ahead of him!
You just need time.
Would you fault a tadpole
because it wasn't born a frog?
There's something up ahead.
That's right! There's always
something ahead of you
in this whirling waterway
called life.
No, I mean look!
Those sardines weren't
clownfishing me after all.
So well-preserved!
Double-hulled.
White oak! Harpoons!
Sweet red-bellied pufferfish!
It's a whale-hunting ship!
Just what I needed.
Can we go now?
Bite marks! Two sizes!
Do you know what this means?
I never know what you mean, Walt.
The White Whale
and his boy were here!
What whale?
The White Whale.
A true behemoth among giants!
According to legend,
he was so mighty
that he saved his son from
descending to the Star Pool.
He did what?
I'm surprised
I never told you this story.
I guess I thought it was too scary
when you were little.
I never got scared
by your stories.
Yes, but I did. Anyway
Once, long ago,
deadly hunters set out to find
the famed White Whale.
Little did they know that the mighty
whale was actually hunting them.
He taught his beloved son to capsize
the ships that ravaged their seas.
Just as the White Whale prepared
a final blow to smite the ship
the last remaining hunter fired!
No!
The boy descended to the Star Pool.
But, the raging White Whale could not
accept his tragic turn of fate.
And so he set out,
determined to bring his son back.
He dove straight down, to the deepest
point in the oceans, when suddenly,
he saw a mystical light:
the Star Pool!
Reunited, Father and Son swam back
to the waters of the living, wiser
and infused with joy,
to sink more ships. The End.
That's amazing.
So he literally brought his son
back from the dead?
Sounds like a lot of flounder
fantasy if you ask me.
But there must be some kernel
of truth in there some
Thank the oceans!
I found ya, I found ya, yes, I did.
I found ya, all right!
Hello, hello! You're the whale calf singer
and his sea urchin, am I right?
Sea urchin? Do I look like a sea
urchin to you? Unbelievable.
Monodonna sent me!
Come, come, come, come, come!
Slow down.
Who's Manah-manah?
Monodonna!
Queen prawn of the monodon brawn!
I remember her! She's known
as guardian of the Arctic.
Your parents always
spoke fondly of her.
That's her! You're needed there!
So come on. Let's go!
Wait!
What does she want with me?
She didn't tell me that.
Just to find ya fast! Fast fast fast!
Sounds important. And Monodonna
is an old friend of the family.
I knew you'd say that. Well, come on.
She's already halfway there!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
are you swimmers or slugs?
Come on, c'mon, c'mon,
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
This is beautiful!
And cold!
Where's Monodonna?
In the creepy looking iceberg.
That does look creepy
Have fun!
So long farewell. Goodbye!
-You're not coming with us?
-She's gone, Walt.
Let's see what this narwhal wants.
Howdy-doo, Vincent!
Welcome to the great white north!
You're Monodonna?
Have we met?
You betcha! Back when you were
just a whippersnapper.
But now look at you,
practically as big as your pa!
Look out, Vin!
We don't have much time.
Come on!
Hey! Wait!
Monodonna!
What's going on?
Why did you send for me?
Something sinister sleeps
in this glacier.
But now it's waking up
Your father defeated it here
many years ago.
A battle for the ages.
Whale Singers aren't warriors.
We're
They're healers.
And yet Humphrey used his song
to save all the oceans
from a terrible evil.
See for yourself.
"Come inside my cave full
of terrible evil!"
Fantastic.
Holy mackerel
What is that thing?
It's called the Leviathan.
No one knows where it came from,
but it blackened the oceans
with its poison.
Thousands died.
Only one being could stop it.
My dad
His song saved the oceans
from annihilation.
You're saying my dad created
this iceberg? By singing?
His song has shielded it ever since,
even as other ancient ice has melted.
But now, even this has begun
to weaken
Now I get it.
You want me to strengthen the ice.
But I'm not like my Dad.
I've heard your story, Vincent.
But we need you.
There is no other way.
No!
I don't have a song
I'm sorry
If the monster breaks free,
it will attempt to destroy all life
in the oceans once again!
You must try.
I I
All right.
Remember, your song comes
from within
Monodonna
Keep singing! Finish your song!
Guardians! Attack!
Do not touch the Ink!
It will stun you!
Come on.
I'm sorry!
I tried to tell you!
Go!
The Leviathan will come after you!
You must survive!
Vin?
Watch out!
I think we got away!
Vin!
No!
What happened?
Where am I?
Vincent! I've been looking
everywhere for you!
Get back in the water, now!
Leave me alone, Walter!
Leave you alone? You're going
to dehydrate and die out there!
Who cares?
The oceans are doomed.
But your singing almost worked!
With a little more practice.
My singing only causes pain.
Forget it.
Fine! Stay here.
I won't even guilt you about it!
I won't remind you
I've spent my life protecting you!
Or about your dear,
descended parents in the Star Pool!
Won't even complain about the time
you accidentally swallowed me!
Wait! That's it!
You're going to sing again!
Sing?
I'm going to the Star Pool!
The Star Pool?
You must have air sickness, Vin!
If I find it,
I can bring back my Dad
and Mom too!
Then they can stop the Leviathan!
You can't just find the Star Pool!
Sure I can!
In the deepest part of the ocean.
Don't act like you don't know
where that is.
The Mariana Trench, but it is
Exactly! We'll go there!
You said the White Whale dove deeper
than any whale had ever gone, right?
I knew my enchanting storytelling
would get us in trouble one day
I caused this mess.
Now I'll fix it.
But the White Whale
is just a legend, Vin.
I'm going, Walt.
You can't stop me.
What kind of nanny would I be
if I let you do something
this reckless without supervision?
This way
We've been swimming forever, Walt!
How confident are you
this is the right way?
I'm more than confident.
I'm blindly confident!
Oh, dear
What?
I may have spoken too soon
We're lost! Just admit it.
I knew I shouldn't have
None of this was here last time
I passed this way!
Yeah right, mister confident.
I swear!
What is all this junk?
We can't swim through it.
We'll have to go around.
But that will take days!
Maybe that will give you some time
to reconsider this ridiculous plan.
Not gonna happen.
Oh, Walter, you should have
nannied a barracuda.
Much less dangerous.
Creepy
I knew it! A way out!
Eureka!
I've got a sinking feeling
there is no way out.
An orca?
Great! Bloodthirsty killers
are the last thing we need right now.
Hey, Orca!
What if she knows
how to get out of here?
What if she eats us alive?
Excuse me! Do you know
-Darn it! Open up!
-Hello?
Can you hear me?
I thought I was in for a fight!
But you're just a humpback.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're toothless AKA harmless
AKA get lost
or I'll show you what real teeth
can do, Mush Mouth!
I'm not scared of you!
You should be.
The whole Pacific is scared
of Darya the Daredevil,
master of OrKarate!
Leave the deadly lass alone, Vin.
Who are you, this guy's nanny?
Yes, absolutely! Very observant.
You have a babysitter?
Stop laughing!
Or what? You'll "bite" me?
I don't bite. I tattle.
Where is your pod, young lady?
I think I'll tell them just
how rude you are.
I ride solo, teeny greeny.
Now, beat it.
You interrupted breakfast.
Hang on
Something smells fishy here
Not me!
I smell grimy!
I think somebody put that buoy
there on purpose!
Wait, don't hit that!
My breakfast! You tricked me!
What?
I tried to warn you!
Stop trashing so Walt can free you!
I have powerful buddies.
Ever heard of Jaws?
She's a personal friend.
So free me right now or else!
Hey! Chill! I said we'll free you.
You deaf or something?
Actually, I am.
You got a problem with that?
But We were just talking.
And we're talking right now.
I can read lips, blubberbrain.
Right
Go ahead, Walt!
Do not move, Darya!
I will bite through the net for you,
okay?
I said I'm deaf, not stupid.
Hurry! We're not alone!
Darn it! Too late!
They're coming!
Who? I don't see anyone!
I can feel them.
Orca! You have violated
his majesty's borders yet again.
You and your goons
are under arrest!
Us? Goons?
This is a misunderstanding!
We were just passing through!
Get your raspy flippers off me!
All hail, our wise, wonderful,
witless ruler
King Karl of glorious Karltopia!
Look what the stinkfish dragged in.
Darya the DumbDingus has fallen
into another one of my traps.
And this time, you have accomplices.
I barely know these wimps!
Your highness!
We're humble travelers, see
Quiet!
You destroyed my property!
Bullfish!
This stuff isn't even yours!
It's just human junk!
Wrong! These are mankind's
greatest creations!
They belong to me.
And now So do you!
I sentence you all to a lifetime
serving Karltopia!
Stop! You don't have that power!
Silence!
You will be docile and servile
when speaking to his
royal leatheryness!
I was always taught that oceans
have no kings or queens.
Who told you that lie?
My dad Humphrey.
The Whale Singer.
I thought I saw a resemblance.
Well, it's a shame
old Hubert is dead,
because I could really have used
his help in a personal matter.
The reward would have been lavish.
You know, your royal
Royalness.
I'm a Whale Singer too.
And my dignified song can help
with many things.
Maybe we can work out a deal.
Penance for your crimes
against my kingdom.
You probably haven't noticed, but
I have an itsy-bitsy skin condition.
I've tried everything, but none of
these human ointments have helped.
I can heal you. But then you have
to let us go. Darya too.
What are you doing, Vin?
Just play along
Fine! You can have
the worthless dorka too.
Now, start healing before
I change my mind!
Let it be said that king Karl is
the most amicable of tyrants!
Okay! First things first.
Close your eyes, and keep them
closed. Everyone! Focus on your king.
Yes. Listen to the Whale Singer,
underlings. Focus on me!
I can already feel it working.
Follow me.
I know the way out.
Singer?
Why have you gone quiet?
Am I already beautifulerer?
You've been bamboozled!
Idiots, catch that lying whale!
You heard his royal foolishness!
That was quick thinking, Vin!
So, are you really a Whale Singer?
My dad was. But I'm not.
I don't have a song.
Are you sure?
I could feel your voice
and it definitely felt special to me.
Look, we really need to get
to the Mariana Trench.
Can you get us out of here or not?
The Trench? Why?
We're searching for the Star Pool.
I need to bring back my parents.
Ridiculous, right?
You mean White Whale style?
That dude's, like, my hero!
You're braver than I though,
Mush Mouth!
Am I the only sane life-form
in this entire ocean?
Oh, good, the exit!
Hopefully some clean water
will flush your brains!
Faster or I'll boil you myself!
Hello?
What was that?
It found us, Walt.
Swim, Karl-guards!
We must protect the king!
That felt horrible.
What can make a sound like that?
A monster called Leviathan.
Leafy Ethan?
Le-via-than!
That's what I said!
What does Leafy Ethan want from you?
Vin! Ink!
Don't touch that!
Wasn't planning on it.
I know a safe place
I think. Let's go.
Your flatulence, look!
Someone is polluting my kingdom?
My face! My beautiful face!
It's beshmirched!
Why the herring is that
thing after you?
I kinda woke it up.
It must be following us
because it thinks I'm my dad!
He's the only one who can defeat it.
He's done it before.
-We better find your pops then.
-We?
Leafy Ethan's about to destroy
my old stomping grounds,
so it's not like I've got anything
else to do. In there!
Underground? Why don't we just
chop off our own fins?
Got a better idea, whale scrubber?
Hang on! I'm stuck!
Pull in your belly!
What do you think I'm doing?
Darya, help!
This is why I travel alone.
Holy sea cow.
Do something!
You really pack a punch.
It was a kick, dum dum.
But thanks.
I think we handled that well.
Oh, come on! I haven't even
finished hyperventilating!
Down we go, I guess!
Where is this leading?
Beats me. The entry used to be me
hiding place from King Barf.
But I've never explored this far.
What's that?
Guys! You gotta see this.
An underground current!
I've never seen one glow like this!
Bioluminescent plankton!
This must be the Great
Undersea River!
Or as dolphin folk call it
What's the big deal?
It connects to rivers all
over the Pacific,
like the trunk of a giant kelp-tree!
No way! Nice work, Darya!
Totally meant to do that!
This should take us
to the Trench quite quickly.
Unfortunately.
Let's go!
The sooner we find my parents,
the sooner we can stop the Leviathan.
Hang on!
High-speed rivers are dangerous.
Let's talk safety procedures first.
What? Sorry, can't hear you!
Darya!
Do you think I broke the procedures?
Walt?
Walter?
Walt?
The chase must have exhausted him.
He tends to snore extra loud
when he's extra tired.
Hope it's not too annoying.
Sorry, I keep forgetting.
It's cool.
Even I forget sometimes.
How did it
I mean, when did
My pod used to pass fishing boats
on our migration.
One day I got too close and
Kaboom!
That was the last thing I ever heard.
Turns out the land lobsters were
using dynamite instead of nets.
That's awful, Darya.
Being deaf has its pros.
Sometimes, I can feel sounds
that others cant even hear,
which is basically a superpower
But after the accident,
my pod treated me like the oceans
most delicate anemone.
So I left.
I was having the craziest dream.
Get this: we were going
to bring back the dead!
Because an invincible monster
was chasing us!
Hold on.
-We are bringing back the dead.
-Yep.
And an invincible monster
is chasing us.
Yeah.
Oh, darn it.
It seems our imminent doom is
approaching just around the bend
There!
How deep do you think it is?
Too deep. Much too deep!
Calm down, whale freshener.
Oh, I'm calm. I'll make it
to the bottom because I'm a fish,
so I don't need air to breathe!
So? We'll take extra deep breaths.
If the White Whale could do this,
so can we.
Now you're talking!
I've got a saying about diving into
the Mariana Trench: don't!
-Ready?
-Race you down!
See you at the bottom
way after I get there.
Famous last words!
You'll lose your nanny license
over this, Walter.
Are we there yet?
How's everybody feeling?
So far, so good.
Splendid. Save your breath.
-Are we there yet?
-Darya!
Just kidding!
Okay, but seriously,
are we there yet?
Trippy-dippy
It's a little deeper than I thought
Vin, the lack of oxygen
is making you sleepy! Wake up!
No! Why did no one listen
to my extremely accurate warnings?
Air air-air-air
There!
Darya! Steer us to the other side!
Do you understand?
Okey-dokey teeny-greenie.
Yes! That's it! Keep pushing!
Nappy first
No! No, no, no!
Stay awake! Darya! Stay awake!
Oh, no!
Pull yourself together, Walter!
Are you a ninny or a nanny?
Come on!
Darya!
Darya! Wake up!
You gotta wake up!
Let me try.
That hurt!
Must've been good form!
Wait, where are we?
I blacked out
What happened?
You didn't listen to me, that's what.
But now that we've all had a lovely
near-death experience,
can we please,
turn back for the surface?
The Leviathan's still out there!
We have to keep going.
Go where? This place is nothing but
cave, cave and more cave.
I mean down.
The bottom must be close by now.
But what if it's not, Vin.
What if we're not even
halfway there?
I hate to admit it,
but Walter's got a point.
Aren't you supposed to be
a "daredevil"?
What's the use if we reach
the Star Pool dead?
Well, I'm not staying here
in this stupid cave!
Nice kick, Mushy! Look!
There's something behind this rock.
But there's no way to get in!
Ya think?
Like I've always said:
Where there's a whale there's a
way.
Will you look at that
Astounding!
What is this place?
Back off, ya little freaks!
Relax, they're just hydrozoans!
Stop it!
That tickles.
You're a cute little polyp,
aren't you? Yes, you are!
Hello? Do you live here?
We're on our way to the bottom and
Okay-okay, not there
You know,
you guys are suprisingly fun.
Gee, thanks.
No, I mean,
I like hanging out with you.
It reminds me of the good
times. With my pod.
What's that?
Can you feel that?
What?
Something's out there.
Something very weird
Why do we always swim towards
the weird things?
Now I can feel it too, Darya.
The vibrations are coming
from over there.
It feels like voices, but I can't
tell what they're doing
Probably something terrible,
like piranha worship or caviar
scarifice or humble bragging
Dang it, Izzy! I was just getting
my chakras aligned.
I am currently at one
with my sea cucumber-ness.
We eat, we excrete.
I didn't mean to disturb you, Deb.
I'm always disturbed.
What about you, Y?
Are you disturbed?
Y is still. Y is empty.
Duh! You're 98% water.
These weirdos are even more
harmless than you!
I'll admit, they don't exactly
look fearsome.
If they're from around here,
maybe they can help us!
Excuse me. Do you know
Surprise.
Killer whale!
Don't eat me!
I have zero nutritional value!
We're not here to hurt you!
I'm not falling for that one.
Again. Do it, Y.
Vin!
Let him go or I'll make you
a jelly sandwich!
Y feels love. Insecurity.
Fear. Shame. A song?
Fascinating. Special.
A Whale Singer.
Gasp.
Speak to me, Vin!
How many fins am I holding up?
It's okay, I'm fine. I think.
What did you do to him?
Y does not possess feelings
of his own.
Y scans feelings of others.
Feelings and memories.
Well, next time, ask before you invade
someone's brain, Tentacles.
Sorry, Singer, sir.
We had to be safe. You never know
who might be a predator.
I'm Izzy. You've already met Y.
And that bubbly gal is Deb.
Charmed, I'm sure.
I'm Vincent.
Which you probably already know
from tentacling his brain
That's Darya. He's Walter.
Uh, where exactly are we?
You've never heard of Ora's
Awakening?
We're here in the world's
deepest waters
to discover our deepest selves.
Why are you here?
A quest. One last hope. Impossible.
Yet, strangely within reach.
Basically, yeah
We're looking for the Star Pool.
According to our beloved guru Ora,
you can only reach the Star Pool
if you are at one with yourself.
And I've always been a zero.
Wait a minute. Are you saying your
guru has been to the Star Pool?
Sure! All the time!
I knew there was a way down!
Where is he? We have to meet him!
Ora isn't a "him".
Not a "her" either.
They are beyond such definitions.
And they must be ginormous.
Also looks like they're not home.
Correct.
But we have to find the Star Pool!
It's urgent!
Don't panick, big guy.
-We can help.
-Great!
By meditating for Ora's swift return!
I don't believe this!
If their great guru goes
to the Star Pool all the time,
then where's the entrance?
Good luck finding it.
I mean, look at this place!
Do you have a better idea?
We're running out of time!
Vin!
Let's give him some space.
Mom Dad I'm so close.
Help me find you.
Mom. Dad.
Where are you?
I can't do this without you.
I miss you so much
Aren't you just the sweetest things?
What's up?
Someone's talking to us.
Over here!
Who said that?
I think the stress
is finally getting to you.
From Mush Mouth to Mush Brain
How sad.
-You hear it too, right, Walt?
-Right in front of you!
Welcome!
Oh, wow, your lips are tiny!
I've never seen a Whale Singer
down here!
Not in the flesh, anyway
No, no.
You're confusing me with my
There was a time when you could hear
their songs everywhere.
Little Ones, dramatic reveal please!
Wait, this isn't right.
Whale Singers always sing alone.
That's not how it was back
in the ancient times.
A Whale Singer's song used to bring
everyone closer together.
Their joined voices amplified
the song's power.
There's even a remora, like me!
But that's not all.
Little Ones!
So many Whale Singers.
What happened to them?
Humans stopped worshiping whales
and started hunting them
until only one Whale Singer remained.
My dad.
He's in the Star Pool now too.
Not Humphrey.
I mean you, Vincent.
How?
How do you know my name?
Ora! You're here!
And you've met our visitors!
You're Ora?
In mind, body, and soul.
Your parents told me you'd come when
I last traveled to the Star Pool.
So it's true!
The Star Pool is real!
And my mom and dad are there!
I knew it!
Well, I'll be a sea-monkey's uncle.
You need to take me there. I have
to reach the bottom of the Trench!
It's not that simple, star child.
I can show you the place you seek
but you may not like what you find.
Please, Ora!
The fate of the oceans is at stake.
Your parents warned me you'd be
stubborn. Follow me, star child
Children, seal the gate immediately.
I sense an unwanted guest
We better hurry!
I've got a bad feeling, Walt.
Welcome to my world.
Little Ones! Shine a light!
Prepare yourselves. This ancient well
will take us deeper than deep,
to the very core of existence
It also tickles.
This is it, Mom and Dad
It does tickle!
Mystical light! Like the story!
No No, no, no!
What is all this?
Were you not seeking the deepest
point in the oceans?
You said my parents were here!
In the Star Pool!
All of your ancestors are
in the Star Pool.
But it can only by entered
from within.
Enough nonsense!
My dad has to save the oceans!
That's your mission now.
I am not a Whale Singer!
You have suffered a great loss,
Vincent.
I can see the pain
you've been carrying.
But it's time for you to embrace
who you truly are.
Feel your grief, star child, and turn
it into a song like we know you can.
I've always had faith in you, Vin.
You can do this! I feel it.
Stop believing In me!
I'm a failure and all anyone wants
to do is remind me about it!
You're not a failure, Vincent.
You just need to stop running away!
Says Ms. Runaway herself.
Young whale,
apologize to Darya immediately!
You're not my dad, Walter! Or my mom!
I'm tired of you following me around!
I'll finish this on my own!
I was right about you the whole time!
Toothless!
Vincent
The star child has chosen his path.
I just hope it leads him back.
Come, we need to hurry.
Mom?
Dad?
Are you here?
You have to be here
No, please no
Can it be?
It's you the White Whale!
Some called me that
Others knew me as Abraham, Abe
But you, dear boy,
always called me Father.
Me?
Has it been that long?
You don't remember your old man?
I think you're confused, Abe.
I'm looking for my parents.
Come now! That's no way to greet your
father after all my searching, Sammy.
Sammy? You think I'm
So you never found him.
The legend isn't true.
It's all been for nothing.
Smile, my boy!
At long last we are reunited!
I'm not your son.
And I've made a horrible mistake
Are you unwell, Sammy?
I'm not Sammy! I've been so stupid!
I need to find my friends!
No! Don't leave me again!
No! Let me go!
Stop! No! Abe, please!
Let me go! Please!
Abe, please! Listen to me!
I'm not your son!
Enough!
You have lost your wits, my son.
I must protect you from yourself
until you come to your senses!
No!
Let me out! Abe! Abe!
They say exercise helps your outlook.
But I'm just getting bruises.
Come on, Deb!
Find your zen! Then
Seal that silly gate.
Y estimates our chance of survival
is currently 50.2 percent.
Children!
What happened?
I know that look.
Resting Sad Face.
Quick!
The Leviathan is close.
The tension is making me hungry.
Something isn't right.
A dissonance. A blind spot.
It's already here.
Correction. The chance of survival
has dropped to 0.000000
We get it, Y!
What's wrong with that guy?
He's called Leafy Ethan,
and he's a total stalker!
How do they always find me?
It doesn't want us.
It wants Vin!
We must lure it away from the well!
Darya!
Hey! Leafy Ethan!
You're ugly! And a bully!
And you have a really stupid name!
Come at me, bro!
Look out, Darya!
It's right behind you!
But you can't hear me!
Oh, no
Abe! Are you out there?
Hello?
I'm here, son.
I'm never leaving you again.
You have to let me out!
The Leviathan is here!
Hush, hush, Sammy.
You're safe with me.
Your delusions will pass.
We'll all die! We'll all die!
And it's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
How could I ever believe
the Star Pool was real?
All of your ancestors are
in the Star Pool.
But it can only be entered
from within
Mom! Dad!
I'm so sorry I swam away that night.
Oh, Vincent.
All is forgiven, my love.
Hang on. I'm not dead, am I?
No, son. You're quite alive.
And look how far you've come.
You've been so brave.
But I've failed everyone.
My friends.
The oceans.
And you, most of all.
It's never too late, Vincent.
The song is within you.
What if I fail again?
Don't listen to your fear.
Listen to what's inhere.
Sing, my love.
Sing for each and every being.
Each and every being
But, but
Sing, and the rest
will happen naturally.
We love you, Vincent.
We are always with you.
I love you too.
Are you hearing what I'm feeling?
This is it! Vincent's song!
Sing, star child, sing!
What's that racket?
Since when can you sing like that,
Sammy?
You, you're not
No
You're not Sammy.
I am Vincent,
son of Lani and Humphrey.
And I am a Whale Singer.
Help me fight the Leviathan, Abe.
You are the mightiest warrior
in all the oceans.
Sammy My boy.
My great boy.
I couldn't save you.
Farewell, White Whale.
Leviathan?
He stopped singing! Why?
Retreat to the well.
Protect the Whale Singer at any cost!
How? That thing is unstoppable!
Big dumb jerks want you to think
they're unstoppable.
But they always have a weakness.
Wait a minute! One thing did stop
the Leviathan: lightning!
Negative. Lightning 6.1 miles below
sea level is impossible.
I can't do lightning, but maybe
Little Ones! Shine!
Well done!
So that's what success feels like.
I don't love it.
Y, stop! What are you doing?
Y!
My Littles Ones!
Stay back!
Don't touch the ink!
Down the well, now!
Vin!
Walt! Darya!
You're alive! I'm so sorry about
We heard your song!
Goosebumps all over!
What happened to Y?
Y sensed the Leviathan.
A long time ago, it was transformed.
By light. By sound. By energy.
That's a big kaboom.
Y felt pain. Anger. Hate.
Never thought I'd feel bad
for that freako.
So the Leviathan wasn't
always like this?
Nothing is born evil, star child.
I'm scared, Walt.
Me too, Vin.
At least we're all together.
As a pod.
You know what to do, star child.
Go ice this beast!
Tighten your orifices!
We've got company!
Vin!
I'm coming, Vin!
Dolphin!
Vin!
Walt
No!
Leave the boy alone!
Abe! No!
I know how to stop you! I will freeze
you and I will save the oceans!
Each and every being!
Each and every being
that includes you.
What did you do, Vin?
I I think we healed it.
Eureka!
It is done!
This is all that lying Whale's fault.
Your Loneliness, look!
All hail the Whale Singer!
Penguin? Penguin?
Attaboy, kiddo!
I knew he had it in him!
They arrive at their own pace, I guess.
Go-go-go-go Vincent!
It's Vincent!
We did it!
And this is just the beginning.
I'm with you for the long haul.
You're gonna need some muscle!
Vin, I'm so proud of you.
You're now a full-grown
Whale Singer.
And that means that my work here
is is officially done.
Now, don't get emotional
or make a big scene. Please.
Let me resign with dignity.
You can't resign, Walt.
Don't try to spare my feelings!
You don't need a nanny anymore!
No! You can't resign
because you're family.
I know! I'm family!
I am?
Oh, blowfish!
Are you looking for inner peace,
child?
Honey, everyone's welcome
at Ora's Awakening.
Look out! Clear the way!
Large mammals coming through!
I need this area clear for official
Whale Singer business.
Nailed it.
Another glorious
Wait, Vincent! I'm not clear!
Did you see?
I got my whole tail out of the water!
Soon you'll be jumping higher
than your mother and me.
Can't breathe! Can't breathe!
Can't breathe!
You frightened the fish-guts
out of me, young humpback!
Vincent, apologize to Walter.
Sorry, Walt.
Occupational hazard.
We nannies are accustomed
to occasional terrifying ordeals.
Now, let's clean you up!
No, Walt, please!
Hold still!
As my teachers back at the Fancyfish
Academy for Aquatic Caretakers
used to say:
A dirty whale is beyond the pale.
This algae can prove very
problematic
And delicious!
Let's keep moving.
We should get a few leagues in
before nightfall.
This next reef is one
of the most beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you.
Mom! Dad! How far is it?
Patience, my love.
It's just up ahead, you'll
What's going on, Mama?
The coral are sick, dear.
We'll have to find
a new place to live.
Wait! My dad can help you!
You can, can't you?
As a Whale Singer,
it would be my honor.
Your dad's awesome!
Are you a Whale Singer too?
Yeah!
I mean I hope so.
You saved our reef!
Thank you, Mister Whale Singer!
Please, call me Humphrey.
Oh, come on, Walt! It's enough!
If you don't get cleaned, you'll
end up looking like a blobfish.
Is this what you want?
All right
Almost done!
-Wonderful!
-Bravo!
They grow up so fast
It's times like this
I'm glad I don't have tear ducts!
What's the matter, my love?
I sang it just like Dad.
But it didn't do anything.
Because you were singing my song.
To become a Whale Singer, you first
have to find your own song.
Find my own song?
Yes. You wouldn't swim using someone
else's flippers, would you?
I guess not
Vincent, we Whale Singers
belong to an ancient tradition.
Our job is to protect each
Each and every being in the oceans!
That's right.
Every Whale Singer must carve their
own path, and each path is unique.
There is a song within you
that only you can sing.
I don't understand
In time, my love, you will.
But I wanna find it now!
It's too bad for you that little
whales have bedtimes!
Mom!
I can't find my song if I'm sleeping!
You know your mother is right.
Has Walter brushed your baleens?
Yes?
Nice try. But I have a saying:
Baleen health is baleen wealth!
See you in the morning, everyone.
You'll have plenty of time
to practice, Vincent.
Just remember
Your song comes from within.
I can't wait to be a Whale Singer.
And we can't wait to hear
your song.
That can't be it.
Vincent?
Walter?
Dang it!
Stop or I'll scrub you
to smithereens! What's going on?
I'm practicing! I want to find
my song and surprise Mom and Dad.
Have you lost your barnacles?
We're in open waters! At night!
Vincent! My love!
He can't have gone far. The current
probably took him this way.
Humphrey, look!
No! Vincent!
I just need a little more practice!
Let me try!
It's not safe out here, Vincent,
let's go
What's that noise?
-Look out!
-Vincent!
Oh, no! Vincent!
Are you okay?
I think so.
What happened?
-Your parents they
-Mom? Dad?
Where are they, Walt?
There! I see them!
-Oh, no
-Mom! Dad!
Vincent! Stop!
Wait! Where are you going?
What's happening, Walt?
Your parents
they're descending to the Star Pool.
Star Pool?
What do you mean?
They're going, Vincent
They're leaving our world.
We have to let them go.
No. No, no, no, no, no, no!
I can sing! To save them!
Come on, song!
Work, please!
Mom! Dad!
I'm so sorry, Vincent
You won't get me this time, Vin!
I'm like a shark!
Always moving!
Oh, blowfish.
The look on your face, Walt!
What look?
Since you've mastered a great many
skills, which now includes leaping,
maybe it's time to, you know,
sing again?
I told you a million times.
Singing's not for me.
How do you know?
It's been so long!
Why, I can barely even remember
the last time you sang:
10 years, 4 months, 13 days,
and 11 hours ago.
Just forget about it.
I can't. Nay, I shan't!
Your parents chose me to care for you
until you become a Whale Singer.
Well, you're gonna be waiting
a long time,
'cause it's never going to happen.
Okay, okay, well, we'll see about that.
Hey, these sardines I know told me
about a magnificent shipwreck nearby.
Want to check it out?
Shipwreck?
That's the spirit! Come on.
That must be it!
Not much of a shipwreck.
Yes, bit a of let down. It looks
massive to a sardine, I guess.
Wait, what?
Where'd you go?
Vincent?
What's all the hubbub?
This will surely spread
It's only a matter of time.
If only the Whale Singer was
still alive! Remember?
He saved our reef when I was little!
Humphrey was the last of his kind.
What about his boy?
I thought the Singer's gift was
passed down to his children.
I heard the kid can't sing at all.
He's a bad egg!
If he can't save us, no one can!
We're doomed!
Vin! Wait!
Don't look so sad
I've got a saying:
A frown is just a depressing smile!
I'm tired of being compared
to my Dad!
It's not fair!
I'll never be like him.
That's okay.
You don't need to be like him.
All you need to be is yourself.
You mean a "bad egg"?
Great.
Wrong! A young whale
with great things ahead of him!
You just need time.
Would you fault a tadpole
because it wasn't born a frog?
There's something up ahead.
That's right! There's always
something ahead of you
in this whirling waterway
called life.
No, I mean look!
Those sardines weren't
clownfishing me after all.
So well-preserved!
Double-hulled.
White oak! Harpoons!
Sweet red-bellied pufferfish!
It's a whale-hunting ship!
Just what I needed.
Can we go now?
Bite marks! Two sizes!
Do you know what this means?
I never know what you mean, Walt.
The White Whale
and his boy were here!
What whale?
The White Whale.
A true behemoth among giants!
According to legend,
he was so mighty
that he saved his son from
descending to the Star Pool.
He did what?
I'm surprised
I never told you this story.
I guess I thought it was too scary
when you were little.
I never got scared
by your stories.
Yes, but I did. Anyway
Once, long ago,
deadly hunters set out to find
the famed White Whale.
Little did they know that the mighty
whale was actually hunting them.
He taught his beloved son to capsize
the ships that ravaged their seas.
Just as the White Whale prepared
a final blow to smite the ship
the last remaining hunter fired!
No!
The boy descended to the Star Pool.
But, the raging White Whale could not
accept his tragic turn of fate.
And so he set out,
determined to bring his son back.
He dove straight down, to the deepest
point in the oceans, when suddenly,
he saw a mystical light:
the Star Pool!
Reunited, Father and Son swam back
to the waters of the living, wiser
and infused with joy,
to sink more ships. The End.
That's amazing.
So he literally brought his son
back from the dead?
Sounds like a lot of flounder
fantasy if you ask me.
But there must be some kernel
of truth in there some
Thank the oceans!
I found ya, I found ya, yes, I did.
I found ya, all right!
Hello, hello! You're the whale calf singer
and his sea urchin, am I right?
Sea urchin? Do I look like a sea
urchin to you? Unbelievable.
Monodonna sent me!
Come, come, come, come, come!
Slow down.
Who's Manah-manah?
Monodonna!
Queen prawn of the monodon brawn!
I remember her! She's known
as guardian of the Arctic.
Your parents always
spoke fondly of her.
That's her! You're needed there!
So come on. Let's go!
Wait!
What does she want with me?
She didn't tell me that.
Just to find ya fast! Fast fast fast!
Sounds important. And Monodonna
is an old friend of the family.
I knew you'd say that. Well, come on.
She's already halfway there!
Hurry, hurry, hurry,
are you swimmers or slugs?
Come on, c'mon, c'mon,
c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!
This is beautiful!
And cold!
Where's Monodonna?
In the creepy looking iceberg.
That does look creepy
Have fun!
So long farewell. Goodbye!
-You're not coming with us?
-She's gone, Walt.
Let's see what this narwhal wants.
Howdy-doo, Vincent!
Welcome to the great white north!
You're Monodonna?
Have we met?
You betcha! Back when you were
just a whippersnapper.
But now look at you,
practically as big as your pa!
Look out, Vin!
We don't have much time.
Come on!
Hey! Wait!
Monodonna!
What's going on?
Why did you send for me?
Something sinister sleeps
in this glacier.
But now it's waking up
Your father defeated it here
many years ago.
A battle for the ages.
Whale Singers aren't warriors.
We're
They're healers.
And yet Humphrey used his song
to save all the oceans
from a terrible evil.
See for yourself.
"Come inside my cave full
of terrible evil!"
Fantastic.
Holy mackerel
What is that thing?
It's called the Leviathan.
No one knows where it came from,
but it blackened the oceans
with its poison.
Thousands died.
Only one being could stop it.
My dad
His song saved the oceans
from annihilation.
You're saying my dad created
this iceberg? By singing?
His song has shielded it ever since,
even as other ancient ice has melted.
But now, even this has begun
to weaken
Now I get it.
You want me to strengthen the ice.
But I'm not like my Dad.
I've heard your story, Vincent.
But we need you.
There is no other way.
No!
I don't have a song
I'm sorry
If the monster breaks free,
it will attempt to destroy all life
in the oceans once again!
You must try.
I I
All right.
Remember, your song comes
from within
Monodonna
Keep singing! Finish your song!
Guardians! Attack!
Do not touch the Ink!
It will stun you!
Come on.
I'm sorry!
I tried to tell you!
Go!
The Leviathan will come after you!
You must survive!
Vin?
Watch out!
I think we got away!
Vin!
No!
What happened?
Where am I?
Vincent! I've been looking
everywhere for you!
Get back in the water, now!
Leave me alone, Walter!
Leave you alone? You're going
to dehydrate and die out there!
Who cares?
The oceans are doomed.
But your singing almost worked!
With a little more practice.
My singing only causes pain.
Forget it.
Fine! Stay here.
I won't even guilt you about it!
I won't remind you
I've spent my life protecting you!
Or about your dear,
descended parents in the Star Pool!
Won't even complain about the time
you accidentally swallowed me!
Wait! That's it!
You're going to sing again!
Sing?
I'm going to the Star Pool!
The Star Pool?
You must have air sickness, Vin!
If I find it,
I can bring back my Dad
and Mom too!
Then they can stop the Leviathan!
You can't just find the Star Pool!
Sure I can!
In the deepest part of the ocean.
Don't act like you don't know
where that is.
The Mariana Trench, but it is
Exactly! We'll go there!
You said the White Whale dove deeper
than any whale had ever gone, right?
I knew my enchanting storytelling
would get us in trouble one day
I caused this mess.
Now I'll fix it.
But the White Whale
is just a legend, Vin.
I'm going, Walt.
You can't stop me.
What kind of nanny would I be
if I let you do something
this reckless without supervision?
This way
We've been swimming forever, Walt!
How confident are you
this is the right way?
I'm more than confident.
I'm blindly confident!
Oh, dear
What?
I may have spoken too soon
We're lost! Just admit it.
I knew I shouldn't have
None of this was here last time
I passed this way!
Yeah right, mister confident.
I swear!
What is all this junk?
We can't swim through it.
We'll have to go around.
But that will take days!
Maybe that will give you some time
to reconsider this ridiculous plan.
Not gonna happen.
Oh, Walter, you should have
nannied a barracuda.
Much less dangerous.
Creepy
I knew it! A way out!
Eureka!
I've got a sinking feeling
there is no way out.
An orca?
Great! Bloodthirsty killers
are the last thing we need right now.
Hey, Orca!
What if she knows
how to get out of here?
What if she eats us alive?
Excuse me! Do you know
-Darn it! Open up!
-Hello?
Can you hear me?
I thought I was in for a fight!
But you're just a humpback.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're toothless AKA harmless
AKA get lost
or I'll show you what real teeth
can do, Mush Mouth!
I'm not scared of you!
You should be.
The whole Pacific is scared
of Darya the Daredevil,
master of OrKarate!
Leave the deadly lass alone, Vin.
Who are you, this guy's nanny?
Yes, absolutely! Very observant.
You have a babysitter?
Stop laughing!
Or what? You'll "bite" me?
I don't bite. I tattle.
Where is your pod, young lady?
I think I'll tell them just
how rude you are.
I ride solo, teeny greeny.
Now, beat it.
You interrupted breakfast.
Hang on
Something smells fishy here
Not me!
I smell grimy!
I think somebody put that buoy
there on purpose!
Wait, don't hit that!
My breakfast! You tricked me!
What?
I tried to warn you!
Stop trashing so Walt can free you!
I have powerful buddies.
Ever heard of Jaws?
She's a personal friend.
So free me right now or else!
Hey! Chill! I said we'll free you.
You deaf or something?
Actually, I am.
You got a problem with that?
But We were just talking.
And we're talking right now.
I can read lips, blubberbrain.
Right
Go ahead, Walt!
Do not move, Darya!
I will bite through the net for you,
okay?
I said I'm deaf, not stupid.
Hurry! We're not alone!
Darn it! Too late!
They're coming!
Who? I don't see anyone!
I can feel them.
Orca! You have violated
his majesty's borders yet again.
You and your goons
are under arrest!
Us? Goons?
This is a misunderstanding!
We were just passing through!
Get your raspy flippers off me!
All hail, our wise, wonderful,
witless ruler
King Karl of glorious Karltopia!
Look what the stinkfish dragged in.
Darya the DumbDingus has fallen
into another one of my traps.
And this time, you have accomplices.
I barely know these wimps!
Your highness!
We're humble travelers, see
Quiet!
You destroyed my property!
Bullfish!
This stuff isn't even yours!
It's just human junk!
Wrong! These are mankind's
greatest creations!
They belong to me.
And now So do you!
I sentence you all to a lifetime
serving Karltopia!
Stop! You don't have that power!
Silence!
You will be docile and servile
when speaking to his
royal leatheryness!
I was always taught that oceans
have no kings or queens.
Who told you that lie?
My dad Humphrey.
The Whale Singer.
I thought I saw a resemblance.
Well, it's a shame
old Hubert is dead,
because I could really have used
his help in a personal matter.
The reward would have been lavish.
You know, your royal
Royalness.
I'm a Whale Singer too.
And my dignified song can help
with many things.
Maybe we can work out a deal.
Penance for your crimes
against my kingdom.
You probably haven't noticed, but
I have an itsy-bitsy skin condition.
I've tried everything, but none of
these human ointments have helped.
I can heal you. But then you have
to let us go. Darya too.
What are you doing, Vin?
Just play along
Fine! You can have
the worthless dorka too.
Now, start healing before
I change my mind!
Let it be said that king Karl is
the most amicable of tyrants!
Okay! First things first.
Close your eyes, and keep them
closed. Everyone! Focus on your king.
Yes. Listen to the Whale Singer,
underlings. Focus on me!
I can already feel it working.
Follow me.
I know the way out.
Singer?
Why have you gone quiet?
Am I already beautifulerer?
You've been bamboozled!
Idiots, catch that lying whale!
You heard his royal foolishness!
That was quick thinking, Vin!
So, are you really a Whale Singer?
My dad was. But I'm not.
I don't have a song.
Are you sure?
I could feel your voice
and it definitely felt special to me.
Look, we really need to get
to the Mariana Trench.
Can you get us out of here or not?
The Trench? Why?
We're searching for the Star Pool.
I need to bring back my parents.
Ridiculous, right?
You mean White Whale style?
That dude's, like, my hero!
You're braver than I though,
Mush Mouth!
Am I the only sane life-form
in this entire ocean?
Oh, good, the exit!
Hopefully some clean water
will flush your brains!
Faster or I'll boil you myself!
Hello?
What was that?
It found us, Walt.
Swim, Karl-guards!
We must protect the king!
That felt horrible.
What can make a sound like that?
A monster called Leviathan.
Leafy Ethan?
Le-via-than!
That's what I said!
What does Leafy Ethan want from you?
Vin! Ink!
Don't touch that!
Wasn't planning on it.
I know a safe place
I think. Let's go.
Your flatulence, look!
Someone is polluting my kingdom?
My face! My beautiful face!
It's beshmirched!
Why the herring is that
thing after you?
I kinda woke it up.
It must be following us
because it thinks I'm my dad!
He's the only one who can defeat it.
He's done it before.
-We better find your pops then.
-We?
Leafy Ethan's about to destroy
my old stomping grounds,
so it's not like I've got anything
else to do. In there!
Underground? Why don't we just
chop off our own fins?
Got a better idea, whale scrubber?
Hang on! I'm stuck!
Pull in your belly!
What do you think I'm doing?
Darya, help!
This is why I travel alone.
Holy sea cow.
Do something!
You really pack a punch.
It was a kick, dum dum.
But thanks.
I think we handled that well.
Oh, come on! I haven't even
finished hyperventilating!
Down we go, I guess!
Where is this leading?
Beats me. The entry used to be me
hiding place from King Barf.
But I've never explored this far.
What's that?
Guys! You gotta see this.
An underground current!
I've never seen one glow like this!
Bioluminescent plankton!
This must be the Great
Undersea River!
Or as dolphin folk call it
What's the big deal?
It connects to rivers all
over the Pacific,
like the trunk of a giant kelp-tree!
No way! Nice work, Darya!
Totally meant to do that!
This should take us
to the Trench quite quickly.
Unfortunately.
Let's go!
The sooner we find my parents,
the sooner we can stop the Leviathan.
Hang on!
High-speed rivers are dangerous.
Let's talk safety procedures first.
What? Sorry, can't hear you!
Darya!
Do you think I broke the procedures?
Walt?
Walter?
Walt?
The chase must have exhausted him.
He tends to snore extra loud
when he's extra tired.
Hope it's not too annoying.
Sorry, I keep forgetting.
It's cool.
Even I forget sometimes.
How did it
I mean, when did
My pod used to pass fishing boats
on our migration.
One day I got too close and
Kaboom!
That was the last thing I ever heard.
Turns out the land lobsters were
using dynamite instead of nets.
That's awful, Darya.
Being deaf has its pros.
Sometimes, I can feel sounds
that others cant even hear,
which is basically a superpower
But after the accident,
my pod treated me like the oceans
most delicate anemone.
So I left.
I was having the craziest dream.
Get this: we were going
to bring back the dead!
Because an invincible monster
was chasing us!
Hold on.
-We are bringing back the dead.
-Yep.
And an invincible monster
is chasing us.
Yeah.
Oh, darn it.
It seems our imminent doom is
approaching just around the bend
There!
How deep do you think it is?
Too deep. Much too deep!
Calm down, whale freshener.
Oh, I'm calm. I'll make it
to the bottom because I'm a fish,
so I don't need air to breathe!
So? We'll take extra deep breaths.
If the White Whale could do this,
so can we.
Now you're talking!
I've got a saying about diving into
the Mariana Trench: don't!
-Ready?
-Race you down!
See you at the bottom
way after I get there.
Famous last words!
You'll lose your nanny license
over this, Walter.
Are we there yet?
How's everybody feeling?
So far, so good.
Splendid. Save your breath.
-Are we there yet?
-Darya!
Just kidding!
Okay, but seriously,
are we there yet?
Trippy-dippy
It's a little deeper than I thought
Vin, the lack of oxygen
is making you sleepy! Wake up!
No! Why did no one listen
to my extremely accurate warnings?
Air air-air-air
There!
Darya! Steer us to the other side!
Do you understand?
Okey-dokey teeny-greenie.
Yes! That's it! Keep pushing!
Nappy first
No! No, no, no!
Stay awake! Darya! Stay awake!
Oh, no!
Pull yourself together, Walter!
Are you a ninny or a nanny?
Come on!
Darya!
Darya! Wake up!
You gotta wake up!
Let me try.
That hurt!
Must've been good form!
Wait, where are we?
I blacked out
What happened?
You didn't listen to me, that's what.
But now that we've all had a lovely
near-death experience,
can we please,
turn back for the surface?
The Leviathan's still out there!
We have to keep going.
Go where? This place is nothing but
cave, cave and more cave.
I mean down.
The bottom must be close by now.
But what if it's not, Vin.
What if we're not even
halfway there?
I hate to admit it,
but Walter's got a point.
Aren't you supposed to be
a "daredevil"?
What's the use if we reach
the Star Pool dead?
Well, I'm not staying here
in this stupid cave!
Nice kick, Mushy! Look!
There's something behind this rock.
But there's no way to get in!
Ya think?
Like I've always said:
Where there's a whale there's a
way.
Will you look at that
Astounding!
What is this place?
Back off, ya little freaks!
Relax, they're just hydrozoans!
Stop it!
That tickles.
You're a cute little polyp,
aren't you? Yes, you are!
Hello? Do you live here?
We're on our way to the bottom and
Okay-okay, not there
You know,
you guys are suprisingly fun.
Gee, thanks.
No, I mean,
I like hanging out with you.
It reminds me of the good
times. With my pod.
What's that?
Can you feel that?
What?
Something's out there.
Something very weird
Why do we always swim towards
the weird things?
Now I can feel it too, Darya.
The vibrations are coming
from over there.
It feels like voices, but I can't
tell what they're doing
Probably something terrible,
like piranha worship or caviar
scarifice or humble bragging
Dang it, Izzy! I was just getting
my chakras aligned.
I am currently at one
with my sea cucumber-ness.
We eat, we excrete.
I didn't mean to disturb you, Deb.
I'm always disturbed.
What about you, Y?
Are you disturbed?
Y is still. Y is empty.
Duh! You're 98% water.
These weirdos are even more
harmless than you!
I'll admit, they don't exactly
look fearsome.
If they're from around here,
maybe they can help us!
Excuse me. Do you know
Surprise.
Killer whale!
Don't eat me!
I have zero nutritional value!
We're not here to hurt you!
I'm not falling for that one.
Again. Do it, Y.
Vin!
Let him go or I'll make you
a jelly sandwich!
Y feels love. Insecurity.
Fear. Shame. A song?
Fascinating. Special.
A Whale Singer.
Gasp.
Speak to me, Vin!
How many fins am I holding up?
It's okay, I'm fine. I think.
What did you do to him?
Y does not possess feelings
of his own.
Y scans feelings of others.
Feelings and memories.
Well, next time, ask before you invade
someone's brain, Tentacles.
Sorry, Singer, sir.
We had to be safe. You never know
who might be a predator.
I'm Izzy. You've already met Y.
And that bubbly gal is Deb.
Charmed, I'm sure.
I'm Vincent.
Which you probably already know
from tentacling his brain
That's Darya. He's Walter.
Uh, where exactly are we?
You've never heard of Ora's
Awakening?
We're here in the world's
deepest waters
to discover our deepest selves.
Why are you here?
A quest. One last hope. Impossible.
Yet, strangely within reach.
Basically, yeah
We're looking for the Star Pool.
According to our beloved guru Ora,
you can only reach the Star Pool
if you are at one with yourself.
And I've always been a zero.
Wait a minute. Are you saying your
guru has been to the Star Pool?
Sure! All the time!
I knew there was a way down!
Where is he? We have to meet him!
Ora isn't a "him".
Not a "her" either.
They are beyond such definitions.
And they must be ginormous.
Also looks like they're not home.
Correct.
But we have to find the Star Pool!
It's urgent!
Don't panick, big guy.
-We can help.
-Great!
By meditating for Ora's swift return!
I don't believe this!
If their great guru goes
to the Star Pool all the time,
then where's the entrance?
Good luck finding it.
I mean, look at this place!
Do you have a better idea?
We're running out of time!
Vin!
Let's give him some space.
Mom Dad I'm so close.
Help me find you.
Mom. Dad.
Where are you?
I can't do this without you.
I miss you so much
Aren't you just the sweetest things?
What's up?
Someone's talking to us.
Over here!
Who said that?
I think the stress
is finally getting to you.
From Mush Mouth to Mush Brain
How sad.
-You hear it too, right, Walt?
-Right in front of you!
Welcome!
Oh, wow, your lips are tiny!
I've never seen a Whale Singer
down here!
Not in the flesh, anyway
No, no.
You're confusing me with my
There was a time when you could hear
their songs everywhere.
Little Ones, dramatic reveal please!
Wait, this isn't right.
Whale Singers always sing alone.
That's not how it was back
in the ancient times.
A Whale Singer's song used to bring
everyone closer together.
Their joined voices amplified
the song's power.
There's even a remora, like me!
But that's not all.
Little Ones!
So many Whale Singers.
What happened to them?
Humans stopped worshiping whales
and started hunting them
until only one Whale Singer remained.
My dad.
He's in the Star Pool now too.
Not Humphrey.
I mean you, Vincent.
How?
How do you know my name?
Ora! You're here!
And you've met our visitors!
You're Ora?
In mind, body, and soul.
Your parents told me you'd come when
I last traveled to the Star Pool.
So it's true!
The Star Pool is real!
And my mom and dad are there!
I knew it!
Well, I'll be a sea-monkey's uncle.
You need to take me there. I have
to reach the bottom of the Trench!
It's not that simple, star child.
I can show you the place you seek
but you may not like what you find.
Please, Ora!
The fate of the oceans is at stake.
Your parents warned me you'd be
stubborn. Follow me, star child
Children, seal the gate immediately.
I sense an unwanted guest
We better hurry!
I've got a bad feeling, Walt.
Welcome to my world.
Little Ones! Shine a light!
Prepare yourselves. This ancient well
will take us deeper than deep,
to the very core of existence
It also tickles.
This is it, Mom and Dad
It does tickle!
Mystical light! Like the story!
No No, no, no!
What is all this?
Were you not seeking the deepest
point in the oceans?
You said my parents were here!
In the Star Pool!
All of your ancestors are
in the Star Pool.
But it can only by entered
from within.
Enough nonsense!
My dad has to save the oceans!
That's your mission now.
I am not a Whale Singer!
You have suffered a great loss,
Vincent.
I can see the pain
you've been carrying.
But it's time for you to embrace
who you truly are.
Feel your grief, star child, and turn
it into a song like we know you can.
I've always had faith in you, Vin.
You can do this! I feel it.
Stop believing In me!
I'm a failure and all anyone wants
to do is remind me about it!
You're not a failure, Vincent.
You just need to stop running away!
Says Ms. Runaway herself.
Young whale,
apologize to Darya immediately!
You're not my dad, Walter! Or my mom!
I'm tired of you following me around!
I'll finish this on my own!
I was right about you the whole time!
Toothless!
Vincent
The star child has chosen his path.
I just hope it leads him back.
Come, we need to hurry.
Mom?
Dad?
Are you here?
You have to be here
No, please no
Can it be?
It's you the White Whale!
Some called me that
Others knew me as Abraham, Abe
But you, dear boy,
always called me Father.
Me?
Has it been that long?
You don't remember your old man?
I think you're confused, Abe.
I'm looking for my parents.
Come now! That's no way to greet your
father after all my searching, Sammy.
Sammy? You think I'm
So you never found him.
The legend isn't true.
It's all been for nothing.
Smile, my boy!
At long last we are reunited!
I'm not your son.
And I've made a horrible mistake
Are you unwell, Sammy?
I'm not Sammy! I've been so stupid!
I need to find my friends!
No! Don't leave me again!
No! Let me go!
Stop! No! Abe, please!
Let me go! Please!
Abe, please! Listen to me!
I'm not your son!
Enough!
You have lost your wits, my son.
I must protect you from yourself
until you come to your senses!
No!
Let me out! Abe! Abe!
They say exercise helps your outlook.
But I'm just getting bruises.
Come on, Deb!
Find your zen! Then
Seal that silly gate.
Y estimates our chance of survival
is currently 50.2 percent.
Children!
What happened?
I know that look.
Resting Sad Face.
Quick!
The Leviathan is close.
The tension is making me hungry.
Something isn't right.
A dissonance. A blind spot.
It's already here.
Correction. The chance of survival
has dropped to 0.000000
We get it, Y!
What's wrong with that guy?
He's called Leafy Ethan,
and he's a total stalker!
How do they always find me?
It doesn't want us.
It wants Vin!
We must lure it away from the well!
Darya!
Hey! Leafy Ethan!
You're ugly! And a bully!
And you have a really stupid name!
Come at me, bro!
Look out, Darya!
It's right behind you!
But you can't hear me!
Oh, no
Abe! Are you out there?
Hello?
I'm here, son.
I'm never leaving you again.
You have to let me out!
The Leviathan is here!
Hush, hush, Sammy.
You're safe with me.
Your delusions will pass.
We'll all die! We'll all die!
And it's all my fault.
I'm so sorry.
How could I ever believe
the Star Pool was real?
All of your ancestors are
in the Star Pool.
But it can only be entered
from within
Mom! Dad!
I'm so sorry I swam away that night.
Oh, Vincent.
All is forgiven, my love.
Hang on. I'm not dead, am I?
No, son. You're quite alive.
And look how far you've come.
You've been so brave.
But I've failed everyone.
My friends.
The oceans.
And you, most of all.
It's never too late, Vincent.
The song is within you.
What if I fail again?
Don't listen to your fear.
Listen to what's inhere.
Sing, my love.
Sing for each and every being.
Each and every being
But, but
Sing, and the rest
will happen naturally.
We love you, Vincent.
We are always with you.
I love you too.
Are you hearing what I'm feeling?
This is it! Vincent's song!
Sing, star child, sing!
What's that racket?
Since when can you sing like that,
Sammy?
You, you're not
No
You're not Sammy.
I am Vincent,
son of Lani and Humphrey.
And I am a Whale Singer.
Help me fight the Leviathan, Abe.
You are the mightiest warrior
in all the oceans.
Sammy My boy.
My great boy.
I couldn't save you.
Farewell, White Whale.
Leviathan?
He stopped singing! Why?
Retreat to the well.
Protect the Whale Singer at any cost!
How? That thing is unstoppable!
Big dumb jerks want you to think
they're unstoppable.
But they always have a weakness.
Wait a minute! One thing did stop
the Leviathan: lightning!
Negative. Lightning 6.1 miles below
sea level is impossible.
I can't do lightning, but maybe
Little Ones! Shine!
Well done!
So that's what success feels like.
I don't love it.
Y, stop! What are you doing?
Y!
My Littles Ones!
Stay back!
Don't touch the ink!
Down the well, now!
Vin!
Walt! Darya!
You're alive! I'm so sorry about
We heard your song!
Goosebumps all over!
What happened to Y?
Y sensed the Leviathan.
A long time ago, it was transformed.
By light. By sound. By energy.
That's a big kaboom.
Y felt pain. Anger. Hate.
Never thought I'd feel bad
for that freako.
So the Leviathan wasn't
always like this?
Nothing is born evil, star child.
I'm scared, Walt.
Me too, Vin.
At least we're all together.
As a pod.
You know what to do, star child.
Go ice this beast!
Tighten your orifices!
We've got company!
Vin!
I'm coming, Vin!
Dolphin!
Vin!
Walt
No!
Leave the boy alone!
Abe! No!
I know how to stop you! I will freeze
you and I will save the oceans!
Each and every being!
Each and every being
that includes you.
What did you do, Vin?
I I think we healed it.
Eureka!
It is done!
This is all that lying Whale's fault.
Your Loneliness, look!
All hail the Whale Singer!
Penguin? Penguin?
Attaboy, kiddo!
I knew he had it in him!
They arrive at their own pace, I guess.
Go-go-go-go Vincent!
It's Vincent!
We did it!
And this is just the beginning.
I'm with you for the long haul.
You're gonna need some muscle!
Vin, I'm so proud of you.
You're now a full-grown
Whale Singer.
And that means that my work here
is is officially done.
Now, don't get emotional
or make a big scene. Please.
Let me resign with dignity.
You can't resign, Walt.
Don't try to spare my feelings!
You don't need a nanny anymore!
No! You can't resign
because you're family.
I know! I'm family!
I am?
Oh, blowfish!
Are you looking for inner peace,
child?
Honey, everyone's welcome
at Ora's Awakening.
