It's another beautiful day

on the Beautiful Reef with me, Beautiful Mike!

I know you can't see me,

but I can assure you I am very attractive.

Whoa!

Ooh, whoa!

Up next, we're talking Orca-ward encounters.

Have things ever got uncomfortable with a killer whale?

Plus, your chance to see Nicki Mi-Narwhal

live at Maritime Squid Gardens.

But first, it's the latest from Jordin Sharks.

So I said, thanks for the pearl of wisdom!

Hm!

You can do this.

Maybe they won't even notice you.

-Whoa, whoa, I'm not ready! -Catch!

Oh!

-Ooh. -Oh.

So, guess who I saw the other day.

-Hey! -Huh?

-Whoa! -Is he okay?

Should we say something?

Like what?

I dunno, cheer up?

Cheer up?

What's wrong with cheer up?

How would you feel if somebody told you to cheer up?

Hey, you don't think he can hear us, do you?

Huh?

Hm.

Cheer up!

Huh?

I told you!

Nice going, Trish.

Hey, buddy!

Smile, you'll live longer!

Morning, shoppers.

And welcome to Hector's, your one-stop shop

for all your hardware needs.

A reminder for all shoppers,

flotation support is available

with buoy now, pay later deal.

It takes more muscles to frown, you know.

Go on, give us a grin!

Don't let things get carried away,

shop our range of anchors today.

- You are a Pout-Pout Fish. - Om.

I am a Pout-Pout Fish.

With a Pout-Pout Face.

With a Pout-Pout face.

And you spread the dreary-wearies.

I spread the dreary-wearies.

All over the place.

All-

Hey there, cranky pants.

Here's your mail.

It's another beautiful day

on the Beautiful Reef, oh!

Come on, you can do this.

Cheer up, mate.

Smile.

It takes more muscles to frown.

Give us a grin.

-You are a Pout-Pout Fish. -Om.

Hey there, cranky pants.

It's another-

Cheer up, mate.

Smile.

Frown.

Grin.

-Are a Pout-Pout Fish. -Om.

Hey there, cranky pants.

It's a-

Cheer up!

-Smile! -Frown.

Grin.

-You- -Hm!

Cranky pants.

It's a-

Cheer up!

Smile!

-Frown. -Grin.

Cranky-

-Cheer up! -Frown.

Grin.

Just this. Thanks.

Are you sure?

Because we have other options.

This is what I want.

Thank you.

A reminder for all you jellyfish out there,

our squid-pro-quo promotion ends today.

Yes, I got you!

No, you didn't!

-Yes I did! -No you didn't!

- I did! - Did not.

Yes I did!

Huh?

Come on, Sophia, time to go see Maya.

Can't I just play for a minute, Dad?

We have to get home, remember?

You always say that.

We don't know those fish, kiddo.

So, we're gonna get to know them!

No. No, wait!

Stop!

Huh?

Who is that?

Why did his dad shout at him?

-Is he in trouble? -I don't wanna play anymore.

-Did he say something? -What is he doing?

-Why is his dad so angry? -Are they from around here?

I've never seen them before.

It's okay. Come on.

We can play together when we get home.

Perfect.

Hey!

Hey!

Huh?

Hyah!

What're you doing? Those are mine!

I clearly saw them first.

Whoa!

And that's how it works at a junkyard.

This is my home!

Oh!

Uh, and might I say what a beautiful job

you've done decorating!

Grimy moss with old garbage? Very bold.

I do wonder if it's a little cluttered, though.

Perhaps there are a few items you'd like taken off your fins?

Just put it back where you found it.

Oh, come on!

You know how hard it is to renovate on a budget.

And this extension has to happen ASAP.

We just moved here and my parents

have 3 or 400 babies on the way.

What? That's how many sea dragons have.

So, where are your brothers and sisters?

Moved out. I'm a late bloomer.

Well, that's one word for what you are.

-Hmm- -Look.

You think that shoe box can handle all those little miracles?

Up and coming neighborhood, lot of potential.

But if we don't expand, there'll be no room for old Pip!

Who's Pip?

I'm Pip, silly!

So, what do you say?

Can you help Pip out?

Pwease?

Hm.

Hm?

Okay, you can have a couple of things.

Yay!

Ooh, what about this?

No.

-And this? -That's not available.

-This is very me. -Don't touch that!

Do you have this in fuchsia? Ooh!

Hey! Whoa!

What is fuchsia?

This is a must-have.

Not with your bare fins!

Oh, I don't know how I lived without this!

Well, you're gonna keep living without it.

Well, what can I have?

You can have what I tell you.

What about this?

-If you just- -What about this?

-Would you please- -What about this?

Could you not?

Why are you saying no to everything I ask for?

Because this place is delicate

and if you just up and grab any old thing

there's no telling what'll...

...happen.

No, no, no!

My home!

Oof.

Well, maybe some of it is salvageable.

Whoa!

Wow. Exact same spot.

I'm not even sure how to react to that.

Wait, no.

Oh, come on, don't cry.

Why shouldn't I?

You made the ship crush my home!

I mean, I might've had a minor part in that, but--

Mom and Dad put me in charge for one day

and I tried to do something nice,

and then you go destroy our house!

Oh, what am I gonna tell them?

They're gonna be so mad

and everything is gonna change

and they'll send me away forever!

Okay, no, you don't wanna do that.

Uh, hm...

Huh?

Here.

Okay. Okay, good.

That's good.

Well, not for the pufferfish.

Oh, sorry.

No problem!

Huh?

It's all gone.

What are we gonna do?

Only thing we can do.

Wait. Where are you going?

Would you wait up?

Smile, you'll live longer.

Thanks! I will.

-Ha ha! Yes! -Attention all crabs.

Our new sport shells are on sale.

Perfect for that mid-life-cycle crisis.

You can't seriously be planning on rebuilding

that ship from scratch.

You got a better idea?

Only about a million.

Uh.

Uh, hm.

That's what I thought.

Oh.

Wait!

What about Shimmer?

Sh!

I did, "Sh!" I whispered it!

It's not I was like, "Shimmer!"

Did someone say Shimmer?

Has someone seen Shimmer?

Do you know where Shimmer is?

I can see how you would blame me for that.

So, is it true what they say about her?

Depends on what you've heard.

I heard she's magic.

I heard she'll create anything you wish for.

I heard she's even more beautiful than me!

I heard no one's ever seen her.

I heard her scales are made of secrets.

I heard she's the daughter of a whisper and a dream.

I heard that the real Shimmer was inside us all along.

I heard she can make that cranky pants

on your mail route turn that frown upside down!

Well, that's it!

We need to find her.

We tell her our wish, she fixes your ship,

fixes my home, my parents aren't mad,

and there's room for my 300 baby brothers and sisters.

That's your plan?

Chase a made up fish that grants magic wishes?

I should've known a fish like you

wouldn't believe in Shimmer.

Oh.

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad, where are you?

It's okay, we can play together

when we get home.

-Dad? -Who's he?

Why did his dad shout at him?

-He's in trouble. -Show me!

Shimmer?

Okay, maybe I have heard of Shimmer.

Ooh!

But if she is real, she only grants one wish

and it takes so much energy,

she can't grant another one for a long, long time.

Sounds like you've heard a lot.

Maybe.

But I'm warning you,

if you chase some magical dream all over the ocean,

hoping for a new home and wind up with nothing,

you'll be a lot sadder than you are right now.

Woohoo! We're gonna find Shimmer.

Did you even hear one word I said?

I heard six. "Magical, dream, new, home, right, now!"

Follow me.

It's a whale of a sale

with our Humpback Friday deals.

Everything must go!

We're looking for, you know who.

Mm mm mm mm, can't help you.

Come on, everyone knows you hear things.

A tuna coughs in the Baltic

and you're there with a lozenge.

It doesn't mean I know everything.

Oh.

Start crying.

What?

Trust me.

Oh!

I need a wish because Mr. Fish destroyed my home

and now my parents wouldn't have any place

for my 300 baby brothers and sisters and me to live

and they'll think it's all my fault

and everything will change!

You destroyed a little girl's home?

You probably could've left that bit out.

But he lost his home too.

And he's trying to help me get mine back.

We just need to find you know who.

Pwease?

Okay, okay! Alright.

But this is unverified.

A business associate's upstairs neighbor's nephew

reckons he may have seen a pink and silver flash

at Jellyfish Junction this week.

Jellyfish Junction?

I know where that is.

Let joy be unconfined.

Well, best of luck.

Wait, what?

You're not coming with me?

Why would I?

I've never been out of the Reef by myself.

I'm scared.

Why don't you go?

I have a shop to run!

I have a home to rebuild.

You can't restore an entire trawler on your own.

He won't be alone.

We're going to restore that thing together!

Building a trawler ship

and a friendship!

With every passing second,

we'll explore more about what makes you you.

Not because you want to,

but because I won't let it go.

And in the end, we will turn that frown upside down

because that would make you more palatable to me.

-Hm? -What do you say?

You ready to turn those cranky pants into happy pants?

Okay. Let's go find her.

Yay!

Oi! Slow down!

There are children around here.

Fresh intel, coming in hot.

Whoa!

Hey, hey.

-Woo! -Look out!

Hey, Benji!

Woo! Yeah!

Whoa!

Ha!

Still got it.

Oh, you naughty Benji!

Whoa!

Woo!

Yo, whoa, ladies.

I got a winner.

Good morning to the best Abyss in the world!

Archie.

Gimme 10.

Dude, stop looking up.

It's going to be fine.

But it's not though.

The light's almost completely gone.

So, it's a little bit colder down here.

Some of us don't mind being cool.

This guy gets it.

Actually, my arm is frozen.

I'm telling you, that kelp won't stop growing!

Which is exactly why we sent someone in to sort it out.

And we never saw Chuck again!

This is all your fault.

Probably should've checked we could grip kelp before we sent him.

In any case, my mom would never let anything happen to us.

She's got a plan.

Cuttlefish of the Abyss, assemble!

Let's go.

See? It's all good, Arch.

Huh?

My fellow cuttlefish.

You all know the dire situation we face.

The kelp at the top of our Abyss has grown so thick,

it's blocking our sun.

And with no sun,

we will perish.

Perish?

Oh, I don't wanna perish!

Sorry.

This leaves us with only one choice.

Here it comes.

We must abandon the Abyss, forever.

What?

Way to keep it chill.

It makes no sense!

This is our home!

We can't just abandon it.

I understand, Benji,

but if we don't take drastic action now,

the whole pod is in danger.

We have to leave.

And go where?

The Reef above the kelp.

Mom, there's tons of fish already living on the Reef.

Then they'll have some new neighbors.

What if they don't want us there?

I'm sure we'll find a way to convince them.

I know you don't like it,

but sometimes that's what being a leader is.

Making hard decisions.

I know how to be a leader.

I'm sorry, Benji, but in 24 hours

the kelp will completely block the Abyss.

We are out out of time.

What about Shimmer?

The fairytale wishing fish?

She's not a fairytale.

I've seen the flashes of pink light

at the top of the Abyss.

She's real!

And, and if I can find her, I can wish the kelp away

and keep our home.

This whole place has to be ready to ship out

in a matter of hours.

You need to be here to set an example.

So, I guess that's it, then.

Yep.

I'm gonna find Shimmer.

What? What?!

Benji.

Benji!

What?

Do you have any idea what your mom will do

if she finds out?

Then she'd better not find out.

No, no, no, no, no.

I am not covering for you.

I'm scared enough of my mom!

Just be cool.

I won't be long.

How can you say that?

No one even knows where Shimmer is.

-Actually. -Huh?

I might be able to help you find her.

No way!

You know they can't be trusted.

And why would you help us?

What's in it for you?

A hot vent like Mr. Lobster over there?

Oh, yeah!

That's the business.

Maybe while you're wishing the kelp away,

you throw in a little hot vent for your starfish buddy.

Okay.

What do you got?

I just got a sea-mail off the Starfish Network.

Word is Shimmer's at Jellyfish Junction,

but a couple of fish were asking about her too.

If they get there first, she'll be all wished out!

Sorry. I don't know why I keep doing that.

Jellyfish Junction's close.

There's no way two fish can beat me there.

Hey, cover for me 'til I get back.

I won't let you down!

You're gonna blow it for sure.

I know.

♪ And we passed another rock

♪ And it looks like the last one ♪

♪ Except this has more moss

♪ Or maybe it has less

Ugh.

♪ I can't remember the last rock ♪

♪ If I'm being totally honest

Pip! It's been 45 minutes.

Well, what song would you like?

I don't want any!

There it is.

Ooh, I love that song!

♪ There it is, there it is

♪ You lost it for a while but there it is ♪

No! Jellyfish Junction.

Look!

There it is!

Where is everyone?

What happened to this place?

Bloomin' cuttlefish is what!

Carrying on like an absolute ink stain, if you ask me.

Why would anyone do this?

Reckons he was looking for Shimmer.

Shouting and inking all over the place.

So, we're doing our best to duck for cover.

And we copped the business end of a rock,

square in the tentacles.

And he just left you like this?

Worse.

He's like, "Oi, tell us where Shimmer is

and I'll free yous."

Which I called bull-shark on right away.

But we've hardly got much choice, do we?

So we tell him and he's like, "Ah, catch yous,"

and off he pops.

What?

Sorry, forgot you don't speak Australian.

They said a cuttlefish did this to them

even though they told him where Shimmer is.

Wait.

You know where Shimmer is?

Shimmer?

Did you hear that, Pip? She's real!

Pip?

Pip!

Pip!

Don't worry.

I'll have you out in no time.

Pip!

Watch out!

Whoa!

What the flip?

The tentacles. Stingers.

Deadly.

What?

Those stingers on our tentacles?

Real killer for a little lady like you

if you got stung.

Oh.

So, how should we proceed, then?

We should leave.

We can't leave!

We'll come back.

We just have to find Shimmer and make our wish.

Then we can help them.

And they're just stuck

to the bottom of the ocean 'til then?

Did you not hear what they just said?

Someone else is looking for Shimmer!

And they've got a head start.

If they get to her first,

she won't have any wish power left.

Well, I'm sorry but I happen to live by a certain code.

Always help friends stuck under a rock

because it's friendly

and when you do, they'll be your friends

and they'll help you someday

when you're under a rock

or some other big heavy thing.

You just made that up.

And it's terribly worded.

Great message though, hey?

And we'll fully help yous

if you're trapped under a thing and that.

See?

Pip, no!

Oh, for the love of Blub Blub Blub.

Out of the way!

-Hey? -Hm?

Oh no.

Mr. Fish!

Mr. Fish? Are you okay?

I'm great.

I'm on a fun and exciting adventure

with Pippetty Pip-Pip Pip Pip!

Pippetty Pip-Pip!

And we're gonna find us a Skimper, that magic flish.

You mean, Shimmer?

Ah, he doesn't know what he means, eh?

Old mate's fighting at least five blasts

of neurotoxins right now.

Isn't water weird?

What even is water?

Don't stress, he'll be good as in three, two, one.

Okay. What happened?

You freed the jellyfish!

Cheers, mate!

And, I think you saved my life.

I did?

Uh-huh.

But we still have to find Shimmer,

so, come on now, you big hero.

Let's go!

Hero?

Pip! Wait up!

So, do you think we've got any chance

of catching up to that cuttlefish?

I reckon, since he's going

to the complete wrong place.

What?

Had a feeling he was gonna stitch us off,

after being such a massive ink stain up to that point.

So we sent him in the total wrong direction.

Straight into a kelp forest!

-Cop that. -Oh, you know,

but since you two helped us,

we'll tell yous the truth.

My roommate's long lost mother's psychic

said she saw something shimmery

out of the corner of her eye

heading into Dolphin Cove.

It's just up there,

where the Reef turns pink and purple.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey!

Hm.

See ya! Bye!

So. Shimmer is at Dolphin Cove, huh?

This kelp is impossible!

Why would Shimmer even be here?

Maybe she wouldn't.

Huh?

Word on the current is that you got some bad intel.

From who?

Couple of jellies with a score to settle.

I was a bit of an ink stain to them.

Ooh, they got you hook, line, and sinker, hermano.

Gave Shimmer's real location to a sea dragon kid

and some fish with a sad, pouty, face.

-So, where is she? -Ah, ah!

Like, crazy pouty.

-Whatever. Where is she? -Ah, ah, wait.

Like, when you see his face

and you're like.

Is everything okay?

'Cause I'd be happy to talk it out with you if you want.

I know that we barely know each other,

but I'd be happy to change that.

Maybe over some coffee or some tea?

Would you just tell me where Shimmer actually is, please?

Oye, such an ink stain.

She's at Dolphin Cove, okay?

Just don't forget about that hot tub

when you're making your wish.

Now, you'd better ink it fast, hermanito.

Because they are way--

Why did I tell him to ink it?

Come on, Benji. Let's go!

What is taking him so long?

Perhaps he will never return

and you will be blamed for his disappearance.

You're not helping.

I'm not trying to.

What am I gonna say if she sees me?

Who?

What do you mean, who?

The scariest cuttlefish in the whole ocean.

I don't follow.

His mom.

Hm?

Benji's mom.

Marin!

Yes?

You knew she was there?

Oui.

Where is my son?

You have a son?

But you're so youthful and vibrant!

Oh! Oh, you mean Benji?

Oh yeah, he's just, um...

-he's just-- -Getting some moving shells.

Getting some moving shells!

To, to help with the move.

Which he's totally on board with now, as am I.

Superb idea, Marin. Yes, yes, yeah, yep, yep, yep.

You know I don't have a lot of time

for dishonesty, Archie.

If I find out what you've told me isn't true,

you do know who'll be hearing about it.

Yes, ma'am.

If he's not by my side by the time

the pod is ready to ship out,

I'll hold you personally responsible.

Now what?

Nothing I do is gonna get Benji back here any faster.

You could buy yourself some time.

You could slow down the rest of the pod

being ready to ship out.

What're you talking about?

Sabotage.

Rightio, bring her in.

Put her down over there, thanks, mate.

-Yah! -Alright.

Taking five.

Nice work, everyone.

Huh? Oh!

Okay, let's get back to...

...what the?

Where are the shells?

Can't move shells if you can't find them.

And no one will ever know.

Hey!

Are those the extra supplies?

Yep, that's them.

Ha!

What a time saver!

That's exactly where they need to go.

Way to take the initiative, kid.

Thanks to you, we're gonna be ready

to ship out even faster.

Hey, bring the rest of it over here!

Roger that.

Alright, mate.

Hm.

Any other bright ideas?

Just one. Hide.

Do you think that could be it?

Yeah. There's a pretty good chance.

Come on!

Do you think they used enough pink?

Oh...

Oh my God.

Awesome.

Yeah. Well.

Who is she?

We need to meet her now!

Wait, we don't know them, stop!

Excuse you?

I don't think we invited you to Dolphin Cove.

Oh my gosh, you're so pretty.

Well, yeah.

We're pink dolphins?

It's like, we're dolphins but we're also pink?

She gets it, Karina.

Ooh.

♪ Yeah

♪ That's right

Mm.

Stop.

I'm dead.

Ugh, put me in a box.

What?

What do you mean what?

Your lips, babe.

Where did you get them done?

You gotta tell me.

Done?

Stop. You were not born with those.

I'm obsessed.

So fin.

Not trying to make fin happen.

It's not going to happen!

Okay, that's enough.

We're looking for...

Shimmer.

Have you seen her?

Well, yeah.

She's the Star of the Ocean.

Why wouldn't she visit Dolphin Cove?

Yes! Then you can help.

My parents are having 300 new baby brothers and sisters

and our home was too small for all of them and me,

so I had to make it bigger, but then Mr. Fish's boat

crushed the whole thing and now I have no home

and my mom and dad will be mad and everything will change

and I just need Shimmer to grant me my wish

and make it all okay again!

Okay. That was a lot.

We are way too starving to follow all that.

We should get Shark Shack!

You know that bloats me.

And it's way too far.

Well, I don't know what's closer.

Hm?

Hm.

Huh?

They are.

Well, that took an unfortunate turn.

I'll take the little one, she looks sweet.

I'll try him, I love bitter!

Swim, Pip!

I told you, this is why you don't talk

to fish you don't know!

Aren't they mammals?

Watch out!

Aw, you're getting tired.

Get ready for brunch, girls!

It's no good, they're too fast!

Over there!

Go!

It's okay.

We're safe now.

They won't find us in here.

Found them!

Hey, girl!

Here, fishy fishy!

We just wanna talk!

I thought we were gonna eat them?

Shut up, Karina.

Wait. Where is it?

Oh.

Well, well, well.

Who do we have here?

It's the fish

we were chasing from earlier.

What?

Are you girls still in the mood for fish?

Actually no.

Yeah, me neither.

That kelp was actually really filling.

And I'm not bloated.

We should have this, like, all of the time.

Yeah! So lucky they hid in there.

For once, so true.

Thank you.

If there's ever anything we can do.

Well, see ya!

-Wait! -What?

You said you'd help us

if there was ever anything you could do.

Who takes that literally?

We need to know where Shimmer is.

Wow. Thirsty for Shimmer, much?

You're like, obsessed with her.

It's giving heavy stalker vibes.

I know, right?

Sorry.

It's just way more fun

on that side of the conversation.

Hm. Could you please just tell us?

It would be so fin.

-Yuck! -Ew!

Never say that again.

What, you mean, so fin?

-Gross! -No!

Stop. Or I'll use my mace.

Only if you tell us about Shimmer.

Fine. Whatever.

My step cousin's au pair's secret crush

saw something pink and silver in Crystal Caves.

That's on the other side of the ocean!

Oh, that is your point.

You must know a shortcut.

Oh, it never ends with you two!

I'll say it again.

Okay, okay.

There is a way you can get there faster.

What? What's happening?

You wanted a shortcut.

Hold on.

For what?

For this!

Hey!

It's important to hold a grownup's claw before crossing.

But why?

It's a classic.

Hm?

Hm.

It still kind of works.

Come on, Benji.

You're almost there.

Huh?

Huh.

He is really pouty.

That was so fun! I feel so alive!

Wasn't that the best?

It was... okay.

Was that a smile?

-No. -I think it was!

♪ Somebody liked it

-♪ Somebody had fun -No!

-♪ You did a smile -No, stop, stop!

-♪ Fishy fishy smile -Don't do that!

-♪ Pout pout, pout pout pout -Whoa, hey, okay.

-♪ He he he he hm hm hm -Just hold it!

-What? -Look.

Crystal Caves.

Let's go get her.

It's none of our business, Pip.

But what if she needs help?

And what if she tries to eat us?

We can't leave her when she sounds so sad.

We don't know that fish.

Maybe it's her hungry sound.

Good point.

Are you sad or are you hungry?

What are you doing?

You said we didn't know.

My pup swam into the crevasse and hasn't come up.

I think he's lost!

Sounds sad to me.

Huh?

Do you need someone to go down there

and find him for you?

Pip!

What?

A whale got lost down there.

Do you not realize how much more easily we could get lost?

Okay. So what do you suggest?

We go into Crystal Caves, find Shimmer,

wish for our homes back,

then we come back and help the whale.

Did you ever get lost as a kid?

Did it feel like you could just wait around forever?

Dad! Dad, where are you?

How do you know we'll make it back?

I don't.

Pup? Pup.

Hm?

If this turns out to be a setup

so your baby can eat us,

I'm gonna be very disappointed.

We don't even eat fish.

Pup pup pup?

Puppy. Pup?

Pup? Come here, little pup.

Whoa!

Mr. Fish? You're here!

I can't see anything down here.

Me neither.

Grab my fin.

Ow!

Okay, let's try this way.

Ow!

It has to be this way.

Ow!

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Huh. Well, I guess you were right.

We did get lost.

I told you!

This is exactly why I didn't wanna do this!

But oh no, we have to go in and save the whale pup.

Now I'm gonna die in a crevasse, and you know why?

Because you approached a fish you didn't know.

It's a mammal.

Oh, come on.

We made so many new friends today.

No, you made friends

because you're little and cute and frilly.

You don't see what everyone's really like, but I do.

I guess I just wanted to believe

every fish had some good in them.

Well, fat lot of good that did.

Look around!

Fine. I will.

What are you doing?

If I find some light, I can find the whale pup.

So, I'm gonna keep looking.

And get more lost? Or eaten?

Maybe I will!

But I'd rather fail alone out there

than give up with someone like you in here

who thinks I'm just cute and frilly.

Wait, Pip! We have to stick together!

Pip!

Pip!

Pip?

Blub Blub Blub.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I shouldn't have blamed you.

Without you, we never would've got this close

to finding Shimmer.

Honestly, without you,

I would've stopped believing in her entirely.

You were right.

I do only look for the bad in other fish.

Because I'm scared that's all they'll see in me.

I'm a Pout-Pout Fish with a Pout-Pout face.

That's all I've ever been.

Until I met you.

And you saw something else.

I don't know how we're gonna get out of here,

but I do know I can't do it without someone like you

who keeps looking for the light,

even in the darkest places.

But what if we don't get out?

And we never find Shimmer?

You said it yourself.

You're not even sure that she's real.

I know.

But that wasn't true.

Well, hello there.

She was the nicest,

most beautiful fish I'd ever seen.

Can I help you, little fish?

I just wish I could find my dad.

Hm. Well, let's see if we can make that happen.

Hey!

Kiddo!

-Papa! -There you are.

I thought I'd lost you.

Me too.

But then the big shiny fish over there helped me.

Huh? Where did she go?

Well, thank you, shiny fish.

Boy, she really is shiny, huh?

No, she was real. I saw her.

She was right there.

Wasn't she?

Come on, let's go home.

And remember, kiddo, it's scary out there.

We need to stick with the fish we know.

Yes, Papa.

Bit by bit, it got easier to accept that I imagined it.

Then I met you, and it all started coming back.

Back then, I didn't even know Shimmer could grant a wish.

But the truth is she'd already given me

exactly what I wanted.

For one moment, other fish didn't seem so scary.

The whole world felt safe.

So you think Shimmer can grant my wish?

And I'll get a new home and everything won't change?

Why do you keep saying that?

What do you think is gonna change?

I'm getting 300 new baby brothers and sisters.

I know how busy my parents are going to be.

They won't even have time to think about me after that.

They probably won't even remember I exist.

But hey, if I'm down here,

Mom and Dad can find a new home for the babies.

And I won't be there to watch them forget all about me.

Pip, listen to me.

Your parents could have 1,000 babies

and they wouldn't forget you.

I've been with you one day

and I'll never forget you as long as I live.

'Cause I'm cute and frilly?

Because you care.

Even about a dreary-weary old fish like me.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Ah!

Why is it bright?

Wow, so beautiful.

Who said that?

That is the sweetest thing

this eel has ever heard in me entire life.

And here come the raindrops!

Sorry to eavesdrop,

but I can't resist a heart-wrenching

coming of age origin story.

Well, goodbye forever.

Wait!

I know you don't know us,

but do you think maybe you could help us?

Whoa. Woo!

Any sign of him?

Not yet.

Wait, look!

Aha, bingo!

Hey, buddy. Are you looking for your mom?

I got so lost in the dark.

That's okay. We did too.

Come on, let's get you back to your mom.

Huh?

Mom!

Pup!

Thank goodness.

Thank you.

Oh, blimey! How bright is it up here?

How do any of you still have your corneas?

Thank you for all your help, Mr. Eel.

Oh, the pleasure was all mine.

Um, we're over here.

Of course!

There you are.

Come back anytime.

Ow! Who put that there?

Well, I guess this is it.

Shall we go find Shimmer?

Nothing can stop us now.

Woo!

Yes!

Yeah! Woo!

Woo!

Mr. Fish, look!

I know those colors. It's her!

Shimmer!

I knew you were real.

Well, hello again.

It's been a long time.

You're all grown up.

Oh, uh, thank you.

Shimmer, we need to make a wish.

I understand, but there are some--

What was that?

I'm sorry.

But I have to do this.

No!

-Shimmer! -Shimmer!

What do we do?

Follow that cuttlefish!

Hurry!

Kelp!

Turtles!

High score!

-Okay. -School zone!

Huh?

-Her skin is glowing. -Whoa!

Go on.

Come on, Mr. Fish, we've almost got them!

Okay, this ends now.

He got away!

There!

Hurry! Before he makes a wish!

Swim, Pip!

It's time.

Cuttlefish of the Abyss.

Saying goodbye is never easy.

We've all loved this place.

It's been our home, where we've met new friends,

fallen in love, shared moments with family,

and felt safe.

But I think I speak for every single one of us

when I say-- where's my son?

-What? -Uh, I wasn't thinking that.

My son's right there.

Hey!

Huh? Ah!

Hm!

Here she comes.

You ready?

No.

-Great! -Oh!

Ow!

Marin! What a lovely surprise.

-And might I-- -Where is he?

We're about to go.

Yeah, well, Benji's been going for a while

if you follow my current.

You still with me pal?

Owie, oh!

Oh! Ooh la la!

Oh, he got a hold of some bad clams.

But he'll be ready soon.

Archibald Vincenzo Squidrioli.

You do know how bad this gets

if I have to tell your mother?

Ah!

Yeah, well, can't be any worse than those clams!

I wouldn't count on that.

Huh?

What? Who are you?

Ah, bonjour. I'm Benji?

Okay, the truth is that--

- Everyone! - Huh?

Could I have your attention?

He's right there!

Ha ha ha, funny, right?

No need to tell my mom, bye!

The move is off!

We don't have to leave our home!

-Great! -So we can stay?

Benji.

Mom, look. Shimmer is real.

-Oh my God. -It's really her!

It's her!

-Shimmer! -Shimmer, can I make a wish?

-Shimmer! -Please, please!

-Please, grant my wish. -I need a wish.

-Shimmer, no, grant me. -Shimmer, please!

-I need a wish! -Shimmer!

-Shimmer, help me. -Please, please.

Shimmer.

In honor of my mother and my pod, I wish for--

Stop!

Please don't take our wish.

I wish for you to get rid of all the kelp

covering our Abyss, so we don't have to leave our home.

No.

My eyes!

-It's so bright! -What is that?

Yes!

I can't.

Huh?

Huh?

Is this because I fish-napped you?

It didn't help.

But you have to, that's the rule.

You're the wishing fish.

No, I'm not.

I can't grant your wish.

Or yours.

I don't have the power to grant wishes.

I never have.

What?

Sacre bleu!

But I met you when I was little.

You granted my wish to find my dad.

No.

You made that wish come true

when you found the confidence

to come out from where you were hiding

so he could see you.

I look different from other fish.

So everyone assumed I have some kind of power,

but the truth is, the power to make wishes come true

lies inside of you, not me.

Then it's settled.

Mom?

We leave now to redevelop the Reef.

Sacre bleu!

Redevelop the Reef?

Wait! Stop, stop!

You disobeyed me and forced a friend to lie for you.

That's not the behavior of a leader.

I'm very disappointed in you, Benji.

Archie!

Hm? Huh?

Hey, guys.

Ah, hi.

I think you should leave the Reef.

I think I should leave the Reef.

What's going on up there?

They can't redevelop the Reef.

What are we going to do?

You really can't help us at all?

I wish I could.

I never wanna let anyone down.

That's why I constantly move around.

Trust me, if I was magical, I would've granted my own wish

and got rid of my shimmer for good.

Don't say that.

You are magical.

That shimmer gives fish like us hope.

Hmm. Huh?

To keep looking for the light,

even in the darkest places.

That's it!

We can still save the Reef!

What do you say?

Me? I'm no use to anyone.

My own mom doesn't even want me around.

You were just trying to save your home, like us.

So, let's make that happen together.

You really think you can save my home?

I think we can.

How?

Because, when you help friends stuck under a rock,

they'll help you

when you're under a rock...

...or another big heavy thing.

- I don't understand, and that was terribly worded.

Benji, how fast can you get a message

to Jellyfish Junction, Dolphin Cove,

and Crystal Caves?

Not fast enough.

But I do know somebody who can!

Hm?

Me?

To the right, slightly.

What do you want to say?

Hey, friends.

You know what it's a great day for?

Leaving forever.

It is a great day to leave forever.

Right this way. Thank you.

It's Beautiful Mike, and a strangely unbeautiful day

on the Beautiful Reef as some kind of mass evacuation

seems to be happening.

Hey, hey. Who are you?

Oh, okay. Whoa, what are you doing?

Whoa! Cool skin.

Hey, superstar. Love the show.

But I'd love it more, off the Reef.

The show must go off the Reef.

Whoa, no wait, no, no!

No!

What is happening?

Where are you going?

How are they doing this?

This is what cuttlefish do.

We can hypnotize other fish.

We're gonna have to move fast.

What are we going to do?

Sh, quiet. Or they will find us.

Don't look them in the eyes!

Huh?

Huh.

Shimmer!

Shimmer, we need a wish.

Please? Save the Reef!

If you want me to grant your wish,

you have to listen to Mr. Fish.

Huh?

-Mr. Fish? -Why Mr. Fish?

Did she mean for that to rhyme?

We can keep our Reef,

but only if we work together, trust each other,

and leave immediately.

-Hm? -Huh?

I know, it's scary.

But it's the only way.

We have to find the confidence

to come out from where we're hiding.

So, who's with me?

Hm?

Mm-hmm. Hm!

Everyone, follow me!

We need to destroy all this kelp!

So eat it, cut it, tear it, whatever it takes!

Just keep going, as fast as you can.

Yeah, boy!

Phew!

It's been a lot of hard work,

but I think we're almost done.

I'm not too sure about that.

Take that, kelp!

Aw.

It's too much.

I know, but what else can we do?

We just gotta hope our friends got the message.

With the speed of a rip tide.

And the beauty of a goddess.

And the hunger of a 300-pound mammal

after a five-day juice cleanse.

Get ready for...

All-you-can-eat kelp!

This is so fin!

I made fin happen!

This is really happening!

You bet it's happening, sister!

'Cause when this kelp meets our stingers-

The results will be, shocking!

This could actually work.

I don't know. There's still so much.

Huh?

Then it's lucky we've got backup.

No way.

Hi, cuttlefish!

-Hi. -Hi.

Tear it apart, everyone!

Amazing.

I don't know what to say.

Friends help friends.

Now it's your turn.

Mm-hmm.

Mom!

-Oi! -Mom!

Mom?

Slow down!

Mom. We have to stop this.

I'll just be a second.

-Mm-hmm. -We've been over this.

But you don't understand.

No, you don't understand.

This is what has to happen.

Our old home is gone.

Look, I know I shouldn't have snuck off behind your back.

I know I shouldn't have dragged my friend into my lie.

And I know I'm not the leader you want me to be.

I'm sorry, Mom.

But a leader also stands up for what they believe is right.

You taught me that.

I love our pod.

And I love our home.

So I was willing to believe

in a crazy miracle to save it.

And the thing about crazy miracles,

if you believe enough, sometimes they come true.

What do you think, Mom?

I, I can't believe it.

Benji.

I think you're ready.

Really?

You want me to take over leadership of the pod?

What? No!

Huh?

You're being promoted to Deputy Assistant

to the Head of Sanitation and Waste Disposal.

Oh.

But it's a first step.

You showed me something today.

I'm so proud of you, Benji.

Thanks, Mom.

So, would you like to do the honors?

Cuttlefish of the pod,

the redevelopment is off.

We will return to the Abyss.

Huh?

This is why they call us cuddlefish!

-Archie. -Dude.

Ha! Sorry.

I'm just excited.

You should be.

You didn't blow it as much as I thought you would.

That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.

Mom, Dad! You're back!

Oh, we missed you so much!

You-- you did?

Of course!

Now, say hi to your new brothers and sisters.

Hm.

Thank you, for all of this.

If there's ever anything we can do.

Well, there is one project

that could use some extra fins.

Almost there. And drop it in.

Well done, boys.

I can't believe they restored the whole thing.

Even the sea mold.

You think mine's impressive?

I guess you've got plenty of space

for those brothers and sisters now.

Eh, not as much as you'd think.

Come back and read us that story!

-It's very good! -Story?

It's nothing.

Hey!

"The Pout-Pout Fish"?

Hm.

What?

I just think more fish should hear about our adventures.

And I've already got sharks circling

to turn it into a movie.

Like that'll ever happen.

Thank you.

Mr. Fish? I'm really glad you destroyed my home.

Me too.

Hm.

We're almost done here, pal.

Just need you to tell us where you want this.

Hm?

Chuck it.

Okay.

-Look at you. -Huh?

You should be so proud of yourself.

Huh?

So, what do you wanna do?

We could watch the snail races

or catch up with the clams.

Oh, the crabs have a new game they wanna show me.

So beautiful.

He's come such a long way.

Gosh, I love a happy ending.

Ow!

Every flipping time!
