Hey Nick do you like
my party decorations?

Wow!
They're great, Sally.

And look - I helped
my mom bake a cake.

Mmmm yummy.
I love it!

Fish is going to have
a great birthday.

Now all we have to do is
find a present for him.

Let's think...

What would Fish
really like?

For my birthday...

I would want a jet pack!

[MIMICS ROCKET]

And I would want a
toy pirate who says...

Argggggggg,
matey.

And I would want
sparkly shoes

for dancing upside down!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!
- The Cat in the Hat!

Yes!

All wonderful ideas for
birthday presents

but we need something
for fish!

Mmmmm.

What do I have here?

A hairbrush, a hammer,
two ducks, a kazoo...

A waffle, a raincoat in
red, white and blue.

Fish doesn't
need a raincoat!

We want to get him a
really, really

special present!

A really, really
special present?

Hmm,
I'm all out of those!

Hmm,
what can we get him?

If only there was
someone we could ask.

But there is!
Gary the Garibaldi Fish.

Neat idea!

We ask another fish!

Let's go to the Briny
Blue Sea and find Gary.

Your mother will not
mind at all if you do.

[giggles]

Mom,
can you hear me?

Loud and clear.

We need to find a birthday
present for Fish.

Can we go and see Gary
the Garibaldi Fish

in the Briny Blue Sea?

The Briny Blue Sea?

Of course.

You're sure to fish
up something there!

This is mom signing off.

We can go!We can go!

Time for a dip!

Oh I can't wait
for my surprise!

Eugh... slippery,
slimy seaweed!

It's tickly on my legs!

Look!
It's all around us.

This isn't any old
slippery seaweed.

Oh no no no no.

This is kelp!

How deep down does it go?

[gasp]

Kelp is a plant that
grows in the sea.

Down under the water
it's as tall as a tree.

Can we go and
find Gary now?

Well we have to ask Bounce
the sea otter first.

No one goes into the
forest of kelp

without his say-so.

Oh there he is!

Hello!

Hel-lo!

He's fast asleep!

Ho ho ho No..
No... I'm not.

I'm ready for
action at all times.

Why allow me.

How did you get
all tangled up?

Well whenever
I wanna snooze,

I wrap myself in kelp so

I don't just-
Whoah.... float away.

Do you live here,
Bounce?

Well yes I do
night and day.

I have to - I'm the one
who takes care

of the kelp forest.

And who are you?

I'm Sally and this
is my friend Nick.

We've come to see Gary
the Garibaldi fish.

Oh well go right in.

Thanks,
Bounce.

Don't you just
love this look?

[laughs]

Wow, this really
does looks like a forest!

They are so tall.

I can't see the bottom!

Hey, hey, hey!
Cat!

Gary Garibaldi!

Good to see you.

And a big kelp-forest
welcome to you!

So what brings you to the
most beautiful spot

in the en-tire ocean?

We're looking
for a present

for our friend Fish.

You could not have
come to a better place.

Right here, we have just
everything a fish

could want;
everything!

Er oh and more.

Come and see!

♪

Wow!

You spot anything you
like - anything at all.

Anything! -
just holler.

Beep beep!
Coming through, guys!

Ho ho ho man don't
you love this place?

These leaves can
grow as long as me

in just one day!
Can you believe that?

You mean from
here to here.

Wow.

Look!
- Cool!

Underwater jewels!

They're so shiny!

Fish would love those.

We'll take some.

Oh, oh can't.
Those are Fish eggs!

Fish eggs?

So they're not
really jewels?

No.

There's no safer place for
a fish to lay her eggs

than right here in
the kelp forest.

Fish eggs turn
into baby fish.

And they belong
right here.

Absolutely.

We'll find him
something else.

For sure,
yea!

Excuse me,
madam.

So sorry I didn't
see you there.

It is getting
kinda dark...

The kelp's blocking
out the sunlight.

That's right!

Deeper down there's less
light but far more kelp.

And I like it like that.

Hey,
I found a shell!

That's so pretty!

It's the perfect
present for Fish...

Ahh?

Oh ho ho wait,wait,wait
that's a sea-snail!

Oh my.

We can't take
that shell.

Someone's still using it.

I'm most terribly
sorry Mr. Sea Snail.

Aw there must be
something we can find.

Er...Let's see what
we got down below. OK?

Follow me,
guys.

Okay!

Wow!

There are so many
fish down here!

Yeah well it's
no big surprise.

The kelp forest is such
a great place to live.

Plenty of food and lots of
places to hide,

if one of those big fish
start chasing you.

[chuckles]

Yea, it's a nice place
for the little guys.

I'm telling you there's
nothing, nothing,

nothing a fish likes
more than kelp.

That's it!

Let's give Fish some
kelp for his birthday!

Oh what a great idea!
He'll love that!

[gulp]

Huh?
What's that?

Uh-oh.
We got trouble!

Sea urchin att*ck!

It's just eating
a bit of kelp...

Yeah, but that's the part
that holds on

to the rock you see.

Oh, and if it bites
through that,

the kelp will
just float away.

You're right!

The kelp needs our help!

Leave it to me!

[chewing]

Excuse me, my
prickly friend!

Ouch!

Are you all right,
Cat?

Yes.

We can't just let
him eat the kelp!

We should get
Bounce the otter...

Right! He said he takes
care of the kelp.

When you need an otter -
as sometimes you do -

Then put in a call to Thing
One and Thing Two.

Hey,

Hey,

Stay away from our Kelp.

Thanks Bounce!

Great job!

Anytime!
Bye!

Who who who who
that was close.

But hey we've
got work to do!

Come on let's go!

We need to find the
perfect piece of kelp

for your friend the Fish.

I don't think we
should take any kelp.

No.

You and your friends
need it all to live in.

We can't be like
sea-urchins and take it away.

Such a sweet thought!

Aaah ha ha.

You guys...

what can I say?

Any time you want to
come back and visit...

just say the word!

We will...

Because this is the most
beautiful place in the...

En-tire ocean!

[giggles]

By-eeee!

Bye!
- Bye!

Kelp is fantastic!

Kelp is the best!

A place where fish live
and otters can rest.

Too bad we still don't
have a present for Fish.

[intake breath]
We do!

I have an idea.

Hello?
Hello?

Noooo peeking!

How can I?

There's a hat over
my bowl Ready?

Ready?
One ...two...

three...
surprise!

Oh boy!
It's just what I wanted!

We couldn't bring
back real kelp.

So...
we drew it for you.

This is way better.

Kelp likes to be
in salty sea water.

And my bowl water
is not salty.

Not salty at all!

There!

I'll put it right
next to your bowl.

Wow!
My very own kelp forest!

This is the best
present ever.

Thanks guys.
