- Morning!

Early tidecoming in later today.

Safe travels, everyone.

- Hi, Wave.

- Morning to you, Splash.

You're up bright and early.

- You bet. Bye, Wave.

- Bye.Safe swimming.

- [snoring]

- Hey, Zee!

- Who? What? When?How? Why?

- Sorry, Zee.

I thought you'd be up by now.

- I am now.

What's all the fuss?

- Zee, don't you remember?

Today is our adventurousexpedition to the Craggy Caves!

- Oh, yeah, you're right.

Oh, I can't wait!

I've always wanted to explorethe Craggy Caves.

Who knowswhat we'll find in there.

- I do.We'll find an adventure.

- Yeah!Let's go get Bubbles and Dunk.

- Yeah, let's go! Come on.- Okay.

both: Craggy Caves!Craggy Caves! Craggy Caves!

- Craggy Caves! Craggy Caves.

- Dunk! Bubbles!Time for our expedition!

- Let's do it my way.- Okay.

- [clears throat] Yo!

Rise and shine!

- If there's one thingyou two are, it's on time.

- And loud.

- That's two things.Thank you.

- Twice as good.- Yeah.

- Come on, let's get moving.

Today's the day.

- Oh, yeah, that's right.

- Our expeditionto the Craggy Caves.

- Yeah, come on,Reeftown Rangers.

all: Ocean friends forever!

- Sorry, kids, but no one'sgoing anywhere right now.

- Why not?

- Well, a great white sharkhas been spotted

close to Reeftown.

- A great white?

- I just want you to know,of course,

we're taking every precaution.

Of course.

- A great white shark.

Well, I've never seen oneup close before.

- Are they dangerous?

- That depends.

Great white sharksare majestic creatures

that have their placein this big ocean.

But maybe not in Reeftown.

- Um, Flo, do you thinkthe great white shark

is coming here to Reeftownfor sure?

- Well,there's no guarantee of that.

But it's important that we'reall reef-ready just in case.

- reef-ready?- Sure.

We just need to finda safe place in Reeftown.

- And stay thereuntil Flo or Mayor Sting

signal the all clear.

- That's right.

- Oh, yeah, reef-ready.Got it.

- Great, kids.We're off to keep a lookout.

We'll be back later.

- Wow!A great white shark.

I've never seen one before.

But it sounds amazing.

-<span> Mija, come on, Ripple. - Coming, Papa.

We've got to get reef-ready,

but let me knowif I'm missing anything cool.

- Sure thing, Ripple.

- I think this whole thingis really cool.

- Come on, everybody.Let's go inside.

- Well, I don't get it.

If there's a new visitorcoming to Reeftown,

why do you want to hide from it?

- Dunk, you know the great whiteis a shark, right?

- Yeah, one of the biggest.

- And, uh,you're okay with this?

- Sure.

I mean, we'll be fine.

We have a shark with us.

Right, Zee?

- You all heard what Flo said.

We all need to get reef-readyright now.

- But, Zee, what's the problem?

You're a shark,the great white is a shark.

So bam, you two shouldreally hit it off.

- Okay, you know, a great whiteshark isn't called "great"

because it's great to be around.

They're big and powerfuland did I mention hungry?

- How hungry?

- Very hungry.

And they eat fish.

Like you!

- But you'll be fine, right?

I mean, you're so tough.

- Splash,I'm a zebra bullhead shark.

A small shark.

If you thinkI'm brave and tough,

what do you thinka great white's gonna be like?

- Well--- They're huge!

I'm nowhere near as brave andstrong and big as a great white.

Nuh-uh.

This little sharkis staying put.

- I'm gonna stay put too.

So, bye.

- Yeah, I guessI'll get reef-ready, too.

- Well, thanks for explainingall that, Zee.

It's a good thing we havea brave shark like you around.

- Yeah, brave.

- Any sign of the great white?

- No, not yet.

- How about now?

- Not yet.- How about--

- Mayor Sting,if I see anything,

I promiseyou'll be the first to know.

- Well, of course.

Very good, then.Carry on.

- Hey, hey, guys,guys, guys, guys.

- Hey, Maury.- Over here!

Hi, hi, hi, hi.Listen.

There's a rumor going around

that there is this great whiteshell coming to the reef.

Where we gonna put it?

- Actually,it's a great white shark!

And we're getting reef-readyfor it.

- Oh, a great white shark.

Not shell.

Yeah, that's a different story.

Okay, see ya, good-bye.

- [laughs]

- Okay, reef-ready.

Everybody find cover.

- Yeah.

- [straining]I can't fit.

Too big.

Just gotta fit in here.

- You guys go ahead.

I gotta go do something.

- But Splash, where you going?

We're supposed to be reef-ready.

- Yeah, I know,but I'm gonna go help Zee.

- Well, I never miss a chanceto help a friend.

- But reef-ready.

- Come on.

- I was not reef-ready for this.

- This cave is so small.

- Uh, Zee?

Are you hidingin Ripple's house?

- Uh, I'm not hiding.

I'm just...

[grunts]

testing to make sureRipple's house

is, in fact, reef-ready.

Good job, Ripple's family!

- But, Zee, you're a shark

just like the great whiteis a shark,

and I don't think you should beafraid to talk to him.

- Splash, I thinkyou're a little confused.

I already told you,I'm nothing like a great white.

- Well, you have cartilageinstead of bones, right?

- Well, yeah.

- And your skinis made out of little teeth

called dermal denticles, right?

- Yeah, where are you guysgoing with this?

- And you're kind oftriangular-shaped

from the front, right?

- Right again. Most sharksare triangular-shaped

from the front.- Exactly.

You're notjust any other creature.

You are a shark.

- And you're the bravest sharkI've ever met.

- Thanks, but braveryhas nothing to do with it.

I mean, this a great white.

And I'm just little Zee.

- You know,all that matters to me

is how tough and brave you areon the inside.

- And you know what I think?

I think you're small,but you, you're mighty.

- Small but mighty.

I am small but mighty.

And I am brave.

I am a shark!

Well, maybe not as bigas a great white,

but maybeI'm just as brave as one.

Yeah!

In fact, I'm gonna go meetthat great white face to face.

And I'm gonna say"Hey, move it along, pal!

And leave Reeftown alone!"

[laughter]

Thanks, you guys.

So, Splash, who told you allthat about size not mattering?

- You did.

- I should've known better.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I gotta go talk to a shark.

- Zee, wait up, hold on.

- Zee, no, no!

- But, but, but---reef-ready?

Ahh...

- All right, I can't waitto meet this great white.

So I can say--

what is going on here?

- That's what you're gonna say?

- Hello, kids.

I was just aboutto come and find you.

As you can see, everythinghere's back to normal.

Looks like that great white hasgone in a different direction.

- Oh.

- But listen, everyoneshould stay close to the reef

a little bit longer to give ittime to move further away.

So if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna go tell the others.

Hey, Mayor Sting!

all: Thanks, Flo!

- Phew, that's a relief.

- I guess we don't worryabout a great white shark

coming to Reeftown and mistakingus for food anytime soon.

- Uh, let's not talkabout that part.

- Yeah, well, I guess it's good

that the great whiteisn't coming here.

I mean, to talk to a giant greatwhite shark just like that?

Can you imagine?

- Oh. Oh.

- What would I even have said?

Oh, I know.

I would've said,"you listen here,

"Mr. Great White Shark.

My name is Zeeand I'm Zebra Bullhead Shark."

all: Zee! Zee! Zee!

- "I may be small in size,but I'm as strong and brave

and mighty as you are."

Then you know what I'd say?

I'd say, "You better getfar away

"from Reeftownright this minute.

And leave us alone--"

- Well, I never.

I can take a hint, you know.

- Well, I just wantedto make sure

that you weren't going to takeany bites out of Reeftown.

Because this is our home.

- Well, I would think I'd havebetter judgment than that.

I can seethat this is your home.

Oh, everyone thinks just becauseI'm a great white shark

I'm going to eat them.

I mean, you lot,you're barely a snack for me.

Why would I even bother?

You have nothing to worry about.

I'm not justsome mindless eating machine.

- Well, I never saidthat's all you are.

Just part of what you are.

That's all.Sorry.

- Thank you.

I can seethat you are quite brave

for a smallzebra bullhead shark.

Impressive.

Sorry to have alarmed anyone.

Cheerio.Pip pip!

All that bother.

- Wow, Zee!

That's amazing.

- That was incredible.

- I did it!

- Yeah!

- We didn't knowyou had it in you.

- Well, at first I didn't knowI had it either.

But a good friend of mineonce told me

that size doesn't haveanything to do with my bravery.

Especially when it comesto protecting my friends.

I am small, but mighty.

- Yeah!

- Small, but mighty.

Small, but mighty.Small, but mighty.

[all cheering]

- And now it's time to...

- Is a moray eel a fish?

- Yes, it is.

Let's see.

- Hey, Dunk.There you are.

- We should have knownyou'd be here doing your art.

- So what are you makingthis time?

- Oh, I'll tell you.

This might be the bestwhatever-it-is I've ever done.

If I do say so myself.

Which I do.

- Wow, this is definitelythe best one yet.

- Yeah, but it's missingsomething.

- Like what?

It looks great.

- Hm, maybe some beautifulcoral decorations, huh?

- Or maybe a portrait of me.

- All good ideas,but this sculpture is missing...

[gasps] a centerpiece.

all: Oooh!- You're right, that's it.

- Exactly.- Yeah!

I need the perfect pebbleto use for my centerpiece.

Oh, hey, can you guys hangaround here until I get back?

- You want us to protectyour sculpture?

- I mean, yeah, I guess so.

- Wow, really?

- Oh, Dunk, we'll take suchgood care of your sculpture.

Don't you worry about a thing.

- I won't.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

- But I have so many questions.

Should I set up a perimeter?

Do we need guards?

My brothers.

Dunk, I have so many questions.

- You'll be fine.

Just try not to touch it.

Now I have to hurry.

I want to get backbefore the tide.

- Back before I tried?

- Ripple!

- Coming!

What am I supposed to try?

- Come on, Ripple.

- Okay, I'm coming.

Dunk needs us to guard his work.

- Mm-hmm.- Is the perimeter set?

- Oh, well,just a second, here.

[indistinct mumbling]

- Perimeter set.- Perimeter set.

- All right, keep it moving,please.

Let's go.

That's what I thought.

- Guarding.

Guarding sculpture.

- Yup.- I'm a guard.

[all groaning]

- Well, I don't thinkprotecting this

is gonna beas hard as we thought.

- Hey, maybe this willhelp us pass the time

while we stand guard.

- Yeah.

- Heads up.

- I got it. I got it.

[mumbling] Okay, okay.

- Okay, okay.I got it. I got it.

Got it. Okay.Here we go.

- I got it. Uh-oh!Oh, no.

- Ripple, hurry up!- Get it, Ripple!

- Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no!

- I got it, I got it,I got it, I got it!

- Get it!

- That was close.

For a minute there,I was worried that shell

was gonna ruin Dunk's sculpture.

Oh! Hey!

- Whoa, where did thatcome from?

Whoa!

- Hey!

What's the big idea, here?

Who's throwing that stuff at us?

- I don't know, but they musthave a lot of arms--

all: Oh!

[dramatic music]

- All right,let's take our positions

and defend Dunk's sculpturewith everything we have!

This is what we're trained for!

- We're trained for this?

- We've been training for thisour whole lives!

- Oh, no!

I know what this is.

The tide is changing!

- The tide?- Yeah.

Yes, Ripple, the tide.

It's the rising and fallingof the sea level

which happens twice a day.

- Yeah, that's the tide going inand coming out,

causing the water to movein certain directions

in what is calledtidal currents.

- Guys, I live in the ocean.I know what the tide is.

- What?

- I said, I live in the ocean!

I know what the tide is!

What's the big problem?

We'll just anchor downand let it come by like always.

No big deal.

- The big deal is that when thetidal current comes through,

it's gonna kick up all the sand

and Dunk's sculptureis gonna be ruined for sure!

- But don't worry, guys, I thinkit's gonna be all right.

Ahh!

- Oh, well.

Whoa!

[all groaning and sputtering]

- Oh, no.

Oh, poor Dunk.

He's gonna be so sad.

- He trusted us to protecthis best sculpture ever.

- Yeah.- And now...

- There's gotta be somethingwe could do, right?

- We could try to rebuild it.

Maybe he wouldn't notice.

- Bubbles, that's a great idea.

Yeah, then maybe Dunk won'tbe sad that his art is gone.

- And he won't be mad at usfor letting it get washed away.

- Oh, yeah, that too.

Okay, everyone.

Let's do this.

- Yeah!

[upbeat music]

♪ ♪

- Oh.

Art is hard.

- Really hard.

- Well, I gave it a sh*t.

- Hey, Ripple, that's great!

- It's not bad, butit doesn't look like Dunk's.

- What doesn't look like Dunk's?

all: Nothing.

[laughing nervously]

- Maybe we should justtell Dunk.

Maybe he won't mind.

- Okay, let's just tell him.

- Yeah.

Dunk, we have somethingto tell you.

- Me, too.

I need to apologize to you guys.

all: Huh?

- Well, you know,for making you wait so long.

The worst part is I didn't evenfind a pebble for my sculpture.

So, what were you saying?

- Well, just that we wantto help you find that pebble.

Yeah, so we should go,right, Bubbles?

- Uh-huh.- Yeah, we should go.

[indistinct chatter]

- Finish that sculpture.

We'll be back.

Let's find that pebble!

- You got it!

- How about that pebble?- No.

- That one?- Nuh-uh.

- That pebble?- Nah.

- Oh, that's a nice one.- Mm.

- Sorry, guys.

We've been looking for a while,

but I don't thinkwe're gonna find the right one.

- Well, don't give up, Dunk.

I just know that if--

- It's really okay, Splash.

Besides, the tide will be inany minute

to wash away the sculpture,

so I'll have to try againtomorrow.

- Wait, you know about the tide?

- Yeah, that's whatI was trying to tell you.

The tide comes in and outevery day.

- Yes, we are well awareof that.

- My art is much likenature itself.

Beautiful, yet impermanentand ever-evolving.

- Wait, say that again.

- I'm not sure if I can.

- Well, Dunk, see the thing is,your sculpture, well--

the tide, it kind of came inand uh...

- We did everything we could,

but we couldn't saveyour sculpture.

- I've been there.

Did you try and throw yourselfin front of the tide?

- Yeah.- Oh, yeah, we tried that.

- Yeah, tried that too.

Oh, I even once tried swallowingthe whole tide.

I looked like this all day.

[laughter]

- It's one thing for youto lose your sculpture,

but we were supposed toprotect it for you.

- It's fine.

I'll always have itin a very special place.

My heart.

- Aw.- Aw, that's nice, buddy.

- Thanks.

- Come on.

They'll be back any minute.

- Hey, Ripple.- Oh!

Hey!

I am so glad you're back.

I was just, uh...

- He knows about the tide.

- Oh, good.

I couldn't keep that upmuch longer.

- So Splash was telling me

you were workingon your own sculpture.

Can I see it?

- Sure.

Ta-da!

I know I'm no puffer fish but...

- Well, it doesn'tlook like mine,

but that doesn't meanit isn't art.

- Yeah.It's a Ripple Original.

- Aw, thanks!

- Hey.

Check this out.

It's a pebble.

Just what I was looking for!- Oh, great.

Well, we've got a whilebefore the tide goes out again.

Want to give your sculptureanother try?

- Let's do it.

- All right.

- Oh, look at him go!

- Oh, that's how you do it!

- So that's the trick.Now we know.

He is one talentedpuffer fish !

- And now it's time to...

- Does an octopushave a skeleton?

- Oh, to be an octopus!

You could do incredible things with your body,

because octopuses don't have a skeleton of any kind.

You could squeeze into tight places,

like an underwater magician.

You could disappear.

Where's the octopus now?

Oh, there it is.

Wouldn't life be fun with no bones?

chorus: ♪ No, no, no, no, no bones ♪

- ♪ If I could live my life as an octopus ♪

♪ I wouldn't have to play by the regular rules ♪

♪ I could make my body smaller without a fuss ♪

♪ If I found a tiny place to squeeze into ♪

♪ 'Cause I'd have no bones ♪

♪ I'd have exactly zero bones ♪
