"[Man Narrating] There was a time... when the world was made of dreams." "All living creatures of the ocean... lived happily in peace." "The main purpose of their lives... was to follow the voice of their hearts." "Nobody knows for certain when everything started to change... when rules emerged that made them forget their inner voices." "And one day, without even noticing it... the creatures of the oceans stopped dreaming." "They were always busy- fishing day and night... treasuring their material possessions." "Instead of fishing to live, they now lived to fish." "But among them, there was one born destined to change it all... one who had never listened to the voice of the crowds... but to the voice of his heart." "One who still had a dream... and was willing to test his courage- even risking his life- to rediscover the true purpose of his life... and, without knowing it... open the world of dreams for all other creatures." "This is his story..." "[Gasps]" "[Thunder Rumbling]" "[Gasps]" " [Growls] - [Gasps]" "[Whimpering]" "[Whimpering]" " Daniel, wake up!" " The wave!" " Dreaming about the wave again?" " Yes." "Well, forget about your wave." "Come on, let's go fish." "We're already late." "[Sighs]" "I still don't get this stuff about fishing all day." "We already have enough fish in the lagoon... to feed ourselves for the rest of our entire lives." "Ah, don't start with that again." "You know the rules." "Yeah, yeah." ""You can't go surfing because it's a waste of time."" ""You can't leave the lagoon because it's too dangerous."" "Blah, blah, fishing, fishing and more fishing." " I'm sick and tired" " Hi, Daniel!" "Hi, Michael!" "Hi, Daniel!" "Guess what I saw today." "You won't believe it." "You won't believe it." "It was a starfish as big as a mountain." "It was so huge." "It was giant!" "It was enormous!" "It was ginormous!" " [Michael, Scoffing] A giant starfish?" " Don't be mean." "Yeah." "Anyway, it was supergigantic... all orange and bright." "It was so incredible." "Can you believe it?" "Can you believe it?" "As big as a mountain!" "Ooh." "Incredible." " And guess what." " What, little guy?" "That star is mine, mine and only mine." "Don't touch it." "Don't touch it." "I'm watching you." "I'm watching you." "I'm watching you." "[Laughs] Don't worry, Sparky." "The huge starfish is yours and nobody else's." "Yes!" "I love it!" "And it's mine." "Because when I saw it, it was supergigantic!" "Yes!" "I love it." "I love it." "And it's mine." "That's good, Sparky." "Now go play and dream with your giant starfish." "Dream?" "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "Talking about dreams, I feel sleepy." "'Cause I didn't sleep well last night because of my starfish." "Starfish." "That's right." "Sparky's giant starfish." "Yes!" "Because it's mine and only mine!" "Yeah." "Yeah, I feel sleepy." "[Exhales]" "[Sighs, Snoring]" "[Daniel Chuckling]" "[Snoring]" " Hey, we have to put Sparky to bed." " What about fishing?" "Shh." "Don't complain." "Come and help me." "[Sighs] That Sparky's such a pest." " Well, you're so slow." " Slow?" "Bet you can't catch me!" "No fair!" "You got an early start." " [Laughing] You snooze, you lose." " I'm right on your tail!" "[Both Laughing, Exclaiming]" "[Michael] Watch this move!" "[Daniel] Nice!" "[Laughs]" "[Michael] Hey, I taught you everything you know." " Who's the master now?" "Whoa!" "[Panting]" " Yeah, not for long." "You're never gonna catch me, man!" "[Both Panting, Exclaiming]" " [Michael] Hey!" "Hey, look out for the rock!" " Whoa!" "[Laughing]" "[Daniel] Look out, little fishies!" " [Laughing]" " Whoa!" "[Both Panting, Exclaiming]" " Daniel, wait." " [Exclaims]" "[Laughs]" "Ah!" "See?" "You can't catch me." "What happened?" "Come on, jump." " No way I'm doing that." " Ooh." "You remind me of an animal that goes buk, buk, buk, buk!" "Chicken." "[Laughing]" "I'm not playing anymore, Daniel." "You're cheating." " You know we're not allowed to leave the lagoon." " I know." "We're not allowed to leave the lagoon." "Ah." "Come on, Michael." "You and I both know the waves look great today." " Mm-mmm." " [Sighs]" "Show-off." "[Exclaiming]" "Whoa!" "This is, like, the best wave I've ever seen." "Oh!" "She's amazing." "I wish Michael could see this." "Whoa-ho-ho-ho!" "Ahh!" "[Gasps]" "Uh, good morning, Leader." "We were chasing each other, and we were going so fast..." "I couldn't stop, so I had no option but to jump." "Uh-huh." "Just playing, right?" "And you had no option but to jump... and surf a wave." "Mm-hmm." "Exactly." "If not, I would've smashed myself against the sharp rocks and coral." "And that's no good." "Right?" "Seems to me that something's wrong with your sonar system, boy." "Oh." "Yes, yes." "I mean" " No, no!" "Everything's fine." "I guess I just didn't think about it." "Then I think I need to refresh your memory a little bit." "Follow me." "I really can't understand you." "We're almost finished with class, but, no..." "Daniel has to put a jellyfish on for a hat." "Daniel has to juggle sea cucumbers." "[Sighs]" "[Female Voice] Daniel." "Daniel, come." " Michael, look!" " What?" " Did you see that?" " Huh?" " You can't wait forever, Daniel." " [Gasps]" "You have a mission to accomplish." "The sun is already moving into its position." " A mission?" " Dream... or don 't dream." "Come... or don 't." "You may wait, but the ocean won 't." " Did you hear that?" " What?" " That voice." " [Gasps]" "There!" "There, Daniel!" " Did you see those markings on its belly?" " It got into the lagoon!" " Let's go!" " Yeah!" "[Dolphins Whispering, Murmuring]" "Listen to me." "You're safe." "It's a manta." "It's harmless." "Just don 't get too close." "What do we do?" "Nothing." "At least, not at the time being." "She's beautiful." "That thing came in from the outside, from the ocean." "I just know it's dangerous." "I love it!" "It's just like my giant starfish!" "Yes, it is!" "It's mine, mine!" "I saw it first, and I will call it Jumpy." "Yes!" "Because it looks like me, like in my dream." "Dream?" "[Sighs]" "[Snoring]" "[Gasps] Hey, Daniel." "Don't get too close." "Hi." "I'm Daniel." "I know." "You're Daniel Alexander Dolphin." " Huh?" " You've got the glow." "The glow?" "What glow?" "You have got the glow of a dreamer." "Was it you who was talking to me earlier- outside the reef?" " No, Daniel." "I am just a messenger." " [Sparky Snoring]" "I have come to tell you that the sun is almost in the right place." "If you want to find the wave of your dream, you have to leave." "Daniel Alexander Dolphin!" "You get back with the others in the group." "Now!" "I only want to talk to her." "Are you disobeying me, Daniel Alexander?" "But, Leader, she's harmless." "Daniel, go back." "Now!" " [All Gasping] - [Ocean Roaring]" "[Gasps] What's happening?" "Don't be afraid, Daniel." " Only you can hear me." " Why?" "Because the rest of your pod doesn't dream anymore." "However, Daniel, you never stopped believing in your dreams." "Many made fun of you... and many will continue doing it." "Sometimes that's the price you have to pay for not being understood... for being different from the rest." "But never stop being you." "Never let your fears stand in the way of your dreams." "Never." "Now I must go." "No." "Please don't leave yet." "There are so many things I want to ask you." "Always listen to the voice of your heart, Daniel... no matter what others might think or say." " [Snoring]" " If you do it... maybe someday you will find your truth... if you are strong and brave enough to follow your dreams." " Will I ever see you again?" " I'm not sure." "But I have fulfilled my mission." "If you follow your dreams, you will never feel lonely again, Daniel." "Never." "[Narrator] And so Daniel discovered... that as long as he followed the dictates of his heart... he would never feel lonely again." "Never." "[Sighs]" "[Peaceful Snuffling]" " Everything okay?" " Yes." "Good." "I was worried about what that manta might do." "Don't you worry." "Everything's quiet." "But I don't like creatures that come from outside of the reef." "Yes, I know." "Actually, I'm a little worried too." "Especially about that manta." "I've heard of that one." "She's the one with the markings on her belly." "But, Leader, is she dangerous?" "Many, many years ago, the elders said that she's on a mission... a mission to help others achieve things." "And now she travels around helping- helping other creatures who want something badly... something very badly." " What's going on, Leader?" " There is something, something that haunts us." "It's" " It's something" "A terrible creature from the depths." "It's close to the reef." "[Gasps] Huh?" "What's wrong, Sparky?" "Huh?" "Oh." "There's something haunting us." "Yeah." "You know what, you're right." "And I feel the same." " It's getting closer." "And even closer." " [Whimpers]" "It's horrible." "It's almost here!" "[Gasps]" " Oh!" "[Farts]" " Oh!" "That's gross!" "You farted?" "Ew!" " What was that?" " Ah!" "Mmm!" "Hmm?" "Huh?" " Hey." " [Farts] Oh, my!" " What's happening?" " [Giggles] You're still farting." " Oh." "Those are my friends." "My stinky farts." " What?" "If I can't hold them, they escape without my permission." "But they are my friends." "Sometimes when I need to breathe, I use them." "[Inhales, Strains]" " [Farting] - [Gasping]" "[Sniffs] See?" "They come in handy when you have to breathe." "And my star is mine." "Yes, my star is mine and only mine." "I'm sleepy." "[Snoring]" "Huh?" " [Low Rumble]" " Hmm?" "[Hisses, Growls]" "[Gasps]" "[Daniel] Dream... or don't dream." "Come... or don't." " Leader!" " What is wrong with you?" "You know it's bedtime." " The rest of the pod is already asleep." " I can't sleep." "That's no reason to hang out here all alone." "Can I ask you something about the sun?" "About the sun?" "Yes, the sun." "Does it ever look different?" "The sun is always the sun." "It moves through the sky during the day, if that's what you mean." "No, no." "Not that." "Does it ever do anything strange?" "Anything that might be out of the ordinary?" " Why are you asking?" " Oh, just wondering." "I guess I'm just curious." "I'd be happy if you just showed this much interest when you're fishing." "Sometimes I feel like I'm not like the rest." "Nonsense." "Come on." "It's time we get you back to bed." "Let's go." "[Snoring] Don't eat my sea urchins!" "They're mine and only mine!" "[Sighs, Snoring]" "[Gasps]" "[Shudders]" "Huh?" "[Sighs]" "Huh?" "Ah!" " [Dolphins Snuffling] - [Sighs]" "[Sighs]" "Maybe the leader really is right." "[Female Voice] There comes a time in life, Daniel... when there's nothing else to do but to go your own way... a time to follow your dreams... a time to raise the sails of your own beliefs." "Who are you?" "You're not the manta." " Your voice sounds different." " I am the Voice of the Sea." " The Voice of the Sea?" " Yes, Daniel." "The manta that I sent to you in the lagoon is one of my angels." "She told me about you." "You're ready." "Ready for what?" "Ready to take the great leap into the unknown... far from the safety of the lagoon." "What should I do?" "How will I know the true purpose of my life?" "You will find the true purpose ofyour life... the day you surf the perfect wave... the one you've been dreaming of for so long." " Daniel!" " [Gasps]" "Come back!" " Uh" " Daniel Alexander Dolphin!" "Come back immediately, or you will regret it forever." "[Michael] Daniel, what are you doing?" "Daniel, this is the last time." "Come back, Daniel." "Now!" "[Groans]" "I'm gonna miss you, Michael." "Daniel, no." "Good-bye, Michael." "Good-bye, Daniel." "Now listen to me, everyone." "Today, one of us has broken the law." "It was Daniel." "Daniel chose to leave this pod." "Daniel Alexander Dolphin... is now an outcast forever." "[Raspy Breathing]" "[Barracuda] The dreamer is finally out." "[Chortling]" "[Narrator] The next morning..." "Daniel Alexander Dolphin found himself in the middle of a huge ocean... not knowing which way to go... but willing to follow the voice of his heart." "[Snuffling]" "Ah." "[Creature Muttering] How'd I get stuck in the" "[Whimpering] I just wanna" "Huh?" "[Straining, Muttering]" " Ouch!" " Ah!" "[Straining, Whimpering]" "I gotta get outta here!" "[Straining]" "[M uttering] Oh, gosh!" "How do I get myself into these sort of things?" "[Grunts] You mind helping me out over here?" "Sure." "I'll try." "Ouch!" "Ow!" "Stop!" "[Panting] Stop it!" "Ouch!" "Be careful!" "You're ripping my guts out!" "[Yelping] Whoa-oah-oah!" "Well, thanks a lot." "Let me ask you somethin'." "Um, do I look like I'm made out of chewing gum?" " [Squeaks]" " Sorry..." "Eh!" "Hey, wait a minute." "Where did you disappear to?" "You're not plannin' on eating me, are ya?" "No." "Are you really, really for sure?" "Because I am superdelicious." " Of course not." "I swear." " Ooh!" "That's good news." "Ta-da!" "[Laughs]" "Hey, hey!" "Close your mouth." "I can see all the way into your stomach." "Hey." "L" " How did you do that?" "Suddenly I couldn't see you." "Eh, I did it the way I did it." "That's me." "And you, who are you?" "I'm Daniel Alexander Dolphin." "Ah." "And what are you doin' here?" "See, well, I wanted to get out of my lagoon and into the open ocean." " You ran away without permission?" " Yes." "That's right." "And now I'll never be able to go back." "No!" "Daniel, I ran away too!" "That's right." "Not because I was lookin' for something, well, like you." "I was just bored." "A guy like me needs adventure, needs to see the world." "I couldn't stay at home alone with Ma forever, you know?" "It's just, um" " Oh, it's a bit, uh" "What's the word?" "D'oh!" "I got it!" "Oh, it's- [Jabbering]" "Wait!" "I know this!" "It's on the tip of my tongue!" "Uh, uh" " Suffocatin'!" "Yeah, suffocating'." "Know what I mean?" "Yes." "I understand." "[Female, Italian Accent] Carl!" "Carl, where are you?" "Stop hiding and come here right now!" "It's my mommy!" "Oh, no!" "No, no, no, no!" "Let's get outta here, or I 'm gonna have to eat sea urchin again." "Have you ever had it, Daniel?" "I don't like it!" "I don't like it!" "It itches!" "I don't like it!" "Okay." "Let's go." "Whoa-oh!" "[Murmurs]" "[Straining, Panting]" "[Straining, Panting]" "[Sighs] Wow." "Carl, you're really fast." "Hey, hurry up!" "I'm leavin' you behind." "Hey, uh, why don't you grab on to my tail?" "[Pants] Okay." "But only because I don't want to leave you behind." "Gee, thanks a lot, Carl." "[Sighs]" "[Yelping]" "[Shrieking]" "[Whimpering]" " Stop it!" " Uh, uh" " Oh!" " [Screams] - [Splats]" "Whoops." "Carl?" "Uh" "[Groans]" "Right here." "Just makin' myself comfortable." "[Whimpers]" "I think that we are... safe." "Right?" "Heh, heh." "[Groans]" "I think that you have to hold on to me tighter." "What about on my back just in front of my dorsal fin?" "Hold on like this?" "That feels better." "So, where we goin' now?" "We off to have more fun?" "First, I've gotta swim to the surface so I can get some air." "Ah!" "[Carl Whimpering]" "Wow." "Carl, look at that." "Surfing is the reason I live." "[Gasping]" " [Panting]" " Have you ever wanted to surf?" "Of course I have, Daniel, but surfing' is too wild for me, you know." "I prefer to be a little more relaxed... chilled out nice and smooth." "So why'd you run away from your lagoon?" "The lagoon where I live is beautiful... but it felt like a prison." "Heh!" "Guess I'll come with you then." "You can be my sidekick, okay?" "Carl, that sounds like a pretty good plan to me." "[Water Rushing]" " [Gasps] Did you hear that?" " Yes." " [Low Growl] - [Yelps] Mommy!" " [Whimpering] - [Gasps]" "[Growling]" "Oh!" "Aah!" "[Shrieking]" "What do you want?" "[Creature] Mmm, what do we want?" "Mmm, it could be your dorsal fin." "Or maybe three delicious tentacles from your brave friend." "What?" "Or maybe just your dreams." "Go away!" "[Chuckles] There 's no reason to be scared." "I ' m not scared." "Wonderful." "That way, it is easier to devour you." "What?" "You?" "And how many more?" "[Barracudas M uttering]" "Oh." "That wasn't a very smart question." "[Muttering Continues]" "[Gasps]" "Aah!" "What are you?" "I am your worst nightmare." "[Roaring]" "Get them!" "[Growls]" "[Creature Chortling]" "[Gasping]" "[Exhales]" "Huh?" "[Sighs]" " [Carl Whimpers] Mommy." " Hmm?" "Mommy." "Mommy." "No, I don't wanna eat any more jellyfish." "[Whimpering]" "Oh, no!" "Jellyfish are terrible." "They're so gross." "They make my belly itch." "[Whimpering]" "[Gasping]" "[Daniel] I think we lost them." "Huh?" "What?" "Did I miss somethin'?" "Well" " What, you don't remember?" "Oh." "Last thing I remember, I was eatin' a jellyfish." "Gross." "Pfft!" "Gross." "Yech!" "Jellyfish?" "Are there any jellyfish that taste good?" "Nope." "But they are good for your digestion." "[Gasps] I remember!" "I remember I was dreaming that a thousand barracudas wanted to eat us... and I was bravely fighting them all!" "And I chased them away with their tails between their legs!" "Ha!" "Yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "That's exactly what you were doing." "Of course." "Because nobody messes with the mighty Carl!" "Nobody!"

"[Creature] Are you trapped?" "[Laughing]" "I am going to enjoy this so much." "Leave us in peace!" "Don't worry, my little friend." "You will rest in peace in no time." "Good-bye!" "[Laughing]" "Seal the entrance right now." "[Muttering]" "[Roars, Grunts]" "Huh?" "[Groaning]" "[Gasping]" " ?" "[Whales Singing In Distance] - [Carl] Huh?" "Wow." "Do you hear that, Carl?" " Yeah." " It's beautiful." " Yeah, it sounds very nice." " I wonder what it could be." "Oh!" "Daniel, you wanna know everything." "[Chuckles] Sorry." " ?" "[Continues]" " Hey, there are waves here." "I'm goin' up, okay?" "Okay." "I'll go up with you." "[Inhales Deeply]" "Are you ready?" "I was born ready." "Huh?" "Whoa-oh!" "What a great wave!" "Whoa-oh!" "[Gasping]" "[Shrieking]" "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "[Shrieking]" " Oh!" "Awesome, isn't it, Carl?" " [Whimpering]" "Did you feel it?" "There's nothing like it." "[Gasping]" "That was the squid-killer wave." "You're trying to get rid of me, aren't you?" "That's what you're doing." "You're tryin' to get rid of me." "I'll teach you how to do it the right way." "You'll see." "Oh, sure, that's a great idea." "I can't wait." "But by then, you'll have to show me how to grow a tail fin like yours." "We'll figure out a way." "I promise you." "I'm gonna go surf again, okay?" "[Voice of the Sea] Daniel." "Don't forget your dream." "Don't forget why you abandoned the lagoon." "Pay attention to the sun." "Watch where it sets in the horizon and follow it." "The sun will tell you many things... but seek out its darkness to fulfill your heart's mission." "Don 't forget it." "Trust your instincts." "Sea?" "Follow the omens that you 'll find on the way... and you will reach your destiny." "If you surf the perfect wave... you will open the world of dreams... to all creatures of the ocean."

"Okay, now watch carefully." "Right?" "Well, what do you see?" "Uh" " Oh." "A fish." " No, no, no." " Hmm?" " An eclipse." " An eclipse?" "What does the sun do that it doesn't do every day?" "An eclipse, my friend." "That is the answer to the question." " Watch that fish." " Uh." "You see, the fish is the moon." "It's much smaller than the sun... but it's also a lot closer to us." "When it moves to an exact position between us and the sun" " Yeah?" " It covers the sun completely." " Oh." " And that is why we call it an eclipse."

"Uh..." "l-l- l" " We can't stay for dinner." "But you want to know where to find your wave, don't you?" "Of course, but I" "I thank you for your help and hospitality... but this is something that I have to figure out for myself." "All alone?" "Well, that's just really dumb."

[Gasps] 1, 3, 76, 41, 12" "Um, 8!" "I can't take it!" "Oh, you're so cute!" "You're so cute, I could just" "I could eat you!" "[Gasps] No, Mr. Squid!" "Please don't eat me." "[Squeaks]" "Mr. Big Fish, you won't let him eat me, will you?" "No, little buddy." "Nobody's gonna eat you." "It was just a joke." "Oh, yes, little fish, I could never eat you." " Joke?" " [Carl] Uh-huh." "I love funny jokes." "Very funny jokes!" " You are adorable!" " [Grunting]" "I wanna keep him." "I always wanted a pet." "[Slurping]" " Why, you little devil!" " [Giggling]" "That's a bad boy!" "Don't do that to your friend Carl!" "[Whimpering]" "Oh, no!" "Oh, little fishy, don't look at me with that face!" "You can do whatever you want." "Okay?" "Huh, my little guy?" "[Sighs, Giggles]" " Son!" " [Gasps] Mommy?" "Mommy!" " Mommy!" " My little child." "I've missed you so much." "[Sighs]" "I missed you too, Mommy." "Thank you for freeing him from that horrible prison." "I have something to do, Carl." " Stay here." " Wh-What are you doing?" "But, Daniel" " [Loud Crash] - [Gasping]" "[Grunting]" "[Gasping, Chattering]" "[Grunting Continues]" "[Creaking, Cracking]" " Get out!" "Now!" " [Cheering, Shouting]" "[Laughing, Sighing]" " [Maitre] You!" " [Grumbling]" "Not only have you left without paying... but now you want to steal my slaves!" "How dare you!" "How dare you make slaves out of all of these innocent creatures?" "They're mine!" "They're mine!" "They're mine!" "They were never yours!" "You can't realize your dreams by stealing the dreams of others." "[Yelling]" "Carl?" " [Carl Chattering]" " Huh?" "[Chattering Continues]" "Yes." "Yes, right here." "I got you." "You get away from me!" " [Chuckles]" " Wait till my friend Daniel gets here!" " He's gonna- [Gasps]" " What's wrong, Carl?" "Look!" "[Shuddering]" " [Gasps]" " How nice!" "Another visitor!" "Your friend here doesn't wanna talk to me." "He's trying to poke me with this pointy thing." "Stay back!" "A sea urchin in my hands is a deadly weapon!" " [Squealing]" " Hyah!" "Hi-yah!" "What do you want?" "First I'd like to find out who I have the pleasure of meeting here." " [Whimpering] - [Squealing Continues]" "I hope you can, uh, stay to eat." " [Chuckles] I" " I mean, to talk." " We're only passing by." ""Passing by." Interesting." " Well, aren't you scared of me?" " I don't fear what I don't know." "Well, y-you should be careful out here in the open ocean." "A-And where's the rest of your pod?" "They must be fishing in the island's lagoon." " So what are you doing out here all alone?" " I'm following my dream." " I'm looking for the perfect wave." " Blah, blah, blah." "Now just a second here." "What kind of a dream is that?" "Isn't there anything you want with all of your heart?" "Me?" "L" " I don't know." "Come on." "We all want something." "But most creatures get so busy that they lose track of their true purpose in life." "Ya think so?" "Of course." "Even my friend Carl here has a wish... but he doesn't know what it is yet." " That's why we travel together." " But" " You know what I'm talking about, don't you?" " Of course." "Yes, I think so." "At least that's what I'd like to think." "You don't happen to know where I could find the perfect wave." "I bet you get around, don't you?" "Well, you know, I myself, I'm not so interested in waves." " That's simply not my thing." " Sure." "Not everybody likes the same thing." "That'd be pretty boring." "Exactly." "Exactly!" "So, what is it you really wish?" "My" " M-M-My wish?" "Well, I don't, uh" "I don't, uh" " Well, you know what I am, right?" "Of course." "Naturally." "A shark." "A shark?" "Ha!" "You obviously don't know who you're dealing with here." "They know me from here to Zanzibar." "I mean, I'm the biggest, the meanest and, uh" "[Chuckles]" "You know what they say about me... don't ya?" "Yeah, yeah, the usual talk" "That you eat a lot and everyone's really scared of you, stuff like that." " But you see, that's the whole problem here." " What?" "Everyone's afraid of me and runs away when they see me... and it's so impossible for me to talk to them." "So you want to have friends to talk to?" "How can I talk to anybody if, before they say anything, I'm already chomping' them down?" " [Muttering]" " Well, that is a real problem." "But nothing that can't be solved." "Think." "Everybody runs away because you try and eat them." "So then" "I eat them before they go away." "No!" "If you don't eat them, then you can talk to them." "Easy, don't you think?" "If I don't eat them, I can talk to them... and they can talk to me." "Of course!" "That's why when I eat them they don't talk!" "Well, some scream." " But screaming's not talking." " [All Yelling]" "Cool, huh?" "Well, I have to try." "It." " Where are the fish?" " Take it easy, my friend." " You just called me "friend"?" " Yeah." "Why?" "Nobody has ever called me his friend." "Sure feels good, right?" "[Shrieking, Panting]" " [Laughs]" " Hey, what did you do that for?" "Carl's my friend." "Sorry, sorry." "I wanted to not eat you." "I just have to practice this a little more until I get it right." "I'm really sorry, little guy." "I almost messed up, didn't I?" "I've just never done this before, this whole not-eating thing." "Uh, it's okay." "You'll learn how." "Well, thankyou, my friends." "Hey!" "You there!" "Wait a second, fishies!" "I'll get you guys anyway, but I won't eat you." "Do you hear me?" "You'd better wait for me!" "[Whimpering]" " [Shark] Ohh!" "Come on!" "It was just a fin!" " [Gasping]" " [Screaming]" " Don't go away!" "I won't do it again!" "Let's get outta here!" " Did you see that, Carl?" " Yeah, yeah." "Whatever you say!" "Look, let's just get outta here before he changes his mind!" "[Coughing]" "That dolphin made the worst mistake... of his miserable existence." "[Growling]" "[Carl, Daniel Laughing]" "[Carl] First, I gave a lesson to a shark that likes biting his friends... and before that, I defeated a monster full of scars... after defeating his army of barracudas." "Ha!" "I can't wait for the next challenge, Daniel." "Lucius, the dream-eater." "[Yelps]" "Lucius, the dream-eater?" "The creature that you described is Lucius, the dream-eater." "He lives to capture the dreams of all creatures that inhabit the ocean." "I'm surprised you survived an encounter with him." "I don't think he'll bother us anymore." "I personally took care of the dream-eater with my bare tentacles." "Hoo!" "If that's so, then it's good news." " Who are you?" " I am a sunfish." "And before you ask me what I'm doing, I am swimming after the sun." " Hey, I like the sun!" " You like the sun?" "That's so cool." "I've always fantasized about touching the sun." "If only for an instant." " You wanna touch it?" " As it gets close to the ocean." "Imagine almost touching it before it disappears." "It could happen, right?" "If you think so." "But try not to burn yourself." "My dream is to touch the sun." " I also have a dream." " Really?" "I've been searching the sea to find the perfect wave." "Daniel..." "Alexander..." "Dolphin?" " How do you know my name?" " So the story was true." " What story?" " Yeah, what story?" "Many suns ago, I heard the story of a dolphin... that would break all the rules of the society in which he lived... so that he could discover his destiny... and open the world of dreams to all other creatures of the world." "Who, me?" "Maybe you still don't know it, Daniel... but you were born to change the world... and one day you will return from where you came after fulfilling your dreams... and will show them the truth." "You mean, go back to my lagoon?" "Back to my pod?" "Not a chance." "I'll never go back." "They don't understand me." "Don't be so harsh with them, Daniel." "I wish you the best, Daniel." "What you're searching for is closer than you might think." "Good-bye, Sunfish." "And hopefully someday you and I'll meet again." "[Moans]" "[Sinister Laugh]" "[Grunts]" "[Both Sighing]" "Huh?" "What's the matter, Daniel?" "Are you sad?" "Forgive me, Carl, for bringing you on this journey that has no meaning." "I'm beginning to think I'll never find what I'm searching for." "What am I hearing?" "The great dreamer stopped dreaming just like that?" "What happened to your wave?" "I think you're very close to finding it." " Huh?" " Sea?" "That dream is mine!" " [Both Gasping] - [Roaring]" " [Grunts]" " Carl!" "No!" "[Chuckles] Your turn, dreamer." " [Barracudas Muttering]" " That dreamer is mine." " Stay behind." " [Grunts]" " [Laughing] - [Yells]" "[Both Grunting, Yelling]" "[Roaring]" "[Roaring]" "[Groaning]" "[Growling]" "[Grunting]" " [Crunch] - [Groans]" "[Lucius Laughing]" "[Hissing, Growling]" "Stop!" "That miserable little fellow is mine." "[Roaring]" "[Laughing]" "Here is where your worthless dream ends." "[Lucius Inhaling]" "[Sinister Chuckling]" "[Inhaling]" "[Grunts] That's impossible!" "You'll never be able to take my dream away." " Never." " [Moaning]" "Maybe I won't be able to steal your dream... but I will kill you." "[Female Voice] Dream-eater, stop." "[Grunts] Oh." "[Lucius] Stay away!" "I have eaten whales before." "[Whales Calling]" "Prepare!" "Prepare to destroy them!" "While Daniel has friends, you can 't touch him again." "Manta!" " We're here to help." " So are we, dude." "Don't mess around with my big fish friend or my little squid... or I 'll suck your eyes out." " [Grunting]" " He's adorable!" "How am I supposed to harm something so cute?" "[Roaring]" "[Growling]" "Oh, hi." "I heard that my friends needed a hand with some troublemakers over here." "So, uh, I brought a couple friends just in case." "[Voice of the Sea] Lucius." " [Burbles] - [Gasps]" "Who is that?" "[Voice of the Sea] Lucius, let the dreams that you have stolen from others run free." "L" " I am not scared." "You weren 't like this all your life." "[Sighs]" "I love you so much, Daddy." "Your family was stolen... by the creature of the depths." "Yes, I was." "I was very happy." "[Voice of the Sea] You were once like Daniel- a dreamer." "But your resentment and envy turned you into what you are now." "You're" " You are the Voice of the Sea." "Now I remember." "You always helped me to move along." "But I failed you." "I don't deserve to live." "[Voice of the Sea] Every." "One deserves to live." "But we each have to live our own life." "And your family is okay." "My family" " They're okay?" "[Voice of the Sea] What they told you... was a lie." "How will they forgive me?" "[Voice of the Sea] Only you can forgive yourself." "Ah!" "He's just like you!" "Hey, you're a dolphin." "He looks so small now." "Poor little thing." "Yes, Daniel." "I was like you." "You have given me a new chance." "I will never forget it." "[Sighs]" "[Chuckles]" " Thanks to all of you." " Good-bye, Daniel." "I'll see you around, my friend." "Hey, every." "Body, I learned to count to 20!" "2, 61, 43, 22, 28, 82, 40, 80" "Um, 50, 22, 8" "[Gasps]" " [Gasping] - [Screaming]" "[Munching]" "Ohh!" "[Sighs]" " [Cry." "Ing Out]" " Mmm!" "Delicious!" "That little bite just came in real handy." "That meat's really tender." "Tender meat!" "Little guy!" "[Sobbing]" "[Laughing]" "It's a joke!" "[Giggling]" "Did you see his face?" "[Laughs]" "That was really funny!" "[Grumbling]" "This is truly a funny joke!" "[Gasps]" "Mommy!" "Mommy!" "[Grunts]" "[Gasps]" "[Whimpering]" "[Sobbing]" "Mommy!" "[Laughing]" "It's just another joke." "Mommy, you make me laugh a lot." "And you too." "Uh..." "Those two are crazy lunatics." "Speaking of crazy, whoa!" "My name is Carl." "I'm a dreamer too." "I'm looking for the perfect wave just for me." " Hey, don't tease me." " [Chuckling]" "[Grunting]" "I think I need some air." "Take this." "[Inhales]" "[Sighs]" " Thank you." " No sweat." " So you were the one that sang?" " Yes, Daniel." "The Sea asked me to take care of you." "[Voice ofthe Sea] Daniel, you must continue with yourjourney." "In one day's time... the sun will be in its special place... and the wave will soon arrive." "The eclipse is about to happen." "There's no time to lose, Daniel." "Follow me." "[Carl] Wow!" "Huh!" "[Laughs]" "Huh?" "[Both Chuckle]" "What is this?" "What you see, Daniel... is the reason why creatures called humans... forgot their dreams." "[Grunting, Munching]" "Blah!" "Yuck!" "Blah!" "That tastes horrible!" "Well" " Mmm, I'll try another." "[Munching] Blah!" "[Coughs, Gags]" "Maybe... this one!" "Yeah." "[Munching] Ugh!" " What's it taste like?" " Ecch!" "Hmm." "I also want to taste it." "[Gulps] Blecch!" "[Whimpering]" " Ugh!" " Enough." "[All Gagging]" "Ugh!" "Terrible!" "I don't understand how this can harm someone if it doesn't have any use." "Yeah, it's like licking pebbles." "You know, it's fun to" "Uh, I mean when there are no sea urchins to eat." " That's what I meant." " Let's move on." "[Inhales, Exhales]" "[Daniel] Wow!" "Don't worry, Daniel." "Go on and surf your waves." "Thanks, Carl." "Whoa!" "[Giggling]" " Yeah!" " [Laughing]" "[Girl's Voice] Hey, you surf pretty well." "[Laughs] Thanks!" "Yeah, that was cool." "But now it's my turn!" "Uh, okay." "[Chuckles] He's my little brother." "He loves riding waves." "That's cool." "Me and the wave are one!" "Whoa!" " Uh-oh." " Well, he does the best he can." "This is my famous tornado style." "Whoa!" "Interesting moves." "And this is my fabulous rock style." "Ohh!" "Ah!" " Uh- - [Groans]" "So, have we ever met before?" " I don't think so." " I could swear we've met somewhere before." " Maybe in your dreams." " Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "It's always good to gargle." "It's good for your balance." "Do you know how much water a dolphin can swallow?" " No." " A lot!" " Really?" " I already lost consciousness." " What?" " I mean, from too much." " Oh." " Yesterday, I fainted." " You should be more careful." " [Girl] He's right." "Yeah, sure." "I'm going for more waves." "Wait for me!" "By the way, what's your name?" "Daniel Alexander Dolphin." " What a nice name." " Thanks." " And you?" "What's your name?" " Leena." " Oh." " Hey, let's go surf some waves." "Let's go!" "[Moans]" "Huh?" "Oh!" "What's going on?" "The moment you have waited for has finally arrived, Daniel." "Ahh." "Ahh." " [Daniel] Wow." " [Manta] Let's go, Daniel." "Okay." "This is where I leave you, Daniel." "Me too, Daniel." "I 'll be thinking about you out there, Daniel." "Good luck." "The time has finally come, Daniel." "Make all of your dreams come true!" "Thanks, everybody." "[Roaring]" "[Roaring Increases]" "It's impossible to surf." "I'll never make it." "I'm gonna drown." "Calm down, Daniel." "Calm down." "It's the wave of my dreams." "Forget the consequences." "I have to try." "If I don't, I know I'll regret it for the rest of my life." "[Gasping]" "[Inhales]" "Oh!" "[Yelping, Panting]" "[Laughing, Sighing]" "[Daniel Sighs]" "[Daniel Thinking] My place in the world." "I've found it." "I wish I could stay here forever." "Whoa!" "Yeah!" "[Sighs, Chuckles]" "I did it!" "Yes!" "Ah!" "I made it." "Thanks, my beloved Sea." "Thank you." "[Voice ofthe Sea] No, Daniel." "Don't thank me." "You believed in yourself... against all odds." "You have surfed the perfect wave... and by doing it... have found the true purpose ofyour life." "T o live my own unique life filled with happiness and purpose... following my dreams." "[Voice of the Sea] Yes, Daniel." "And from today onward... more than just liking your life... you will love it." "Spread the world of dreams... throughout all the oceans and seas..." "Daniel Alexander Dolphin." "[Carl] You did it, Daniel!" " [Laughs]" " You did it!" "[Kisses]" "[Manta] Mission accomplished, Daniel." "M ission accomplished." "Whoa, it's a little bit cold out here, but, uh" " Got this rock." "Maybe it'll warm me up." " Mi casa es su casa." " Everybody come on in!" " Come on, everybody!" "Let's shake snappers on that one, eh?" " Whoa, nice place!" "Big screen, eh?" " [Chattering]" "[Girl Fish] Oh, it's too dark in here!" "[Boy Fish] I'm stuck in here!" "How do I get out?" "[Girl Fish] I can't get out either." "Oh, what a wonderful feeling." "[Chuckles] I have to go after my dreams." "Carl, I have to leave." "I know." "You're not coming with me, are you?" "No, Daniel." "So, did you find what you were looking for?" "Yes, Daniel." "I know now that my dream was to follow you on your magic journey." "So long, my dear friend." "You'll always be in my heart... wherever my travels take me." "You too, Daniel." "Good-bye, Leena." "I'll never forget you." "But now I have to go back to my lagoon." "I know." "Good-bye, Daniel." "Never stop being yourself." "Never." "I hope you'll visit us someday." " Daniel?" " Yes, Carl?" " Will we ever see each other again?" " Sure, we will." "Maybe here, maybe somewhere else." " Really?" " Maybe even in our dreams." "Ah!" "I feel better already." "Good-bye, Daniel Alexander Dolphin... and may your dreams always come true." "[Sighs]" "[Sighs]" "[Sighs]" "[Chuckling]" "[Narrator] As promised by the Voice of the Sea..." "Daniel returned to his beloved island." "He told them about his adventures... and how he managed to fulfill his dream... and discover the true purpose of his life... overcoming the doubts and fears that had always existed only in his mind." "Daniel's pod was dazzled by Daniel's story..." "They decided to cross the outer reef and venture into the open sea." "They were awed by the beautiful world that existed beyond the lagoon... and for the first time in their lives, they felt free." "They now knew, just as Daniel had known... that their journey to the world of dreams had begun."
