iT ALL STARTS UNDER THE SEA…

The Story

At its heart, Dolphin Dude is the story of Finn, a laid-back, fun-loving dolphin who’d rather ride waves and crack jokes than worry about the ocean’s problems. He figures someone else will handle the pollution, overfishing, and coral decline. After all, he’s just one dude in a very big ocean… right?

But when the tides turn and those he loves are affected, Finn is drawn into something deeper; a journey that challenges everything he thought he knew about adovcacy, reminding him that every wave of change begins with a ripple of courage.

With unforgettable characters, vibrant underwater worlds, and a story full of humor, heart, and purpose, Dolphin Dude follows Finn and his fin-tastic friends as they show the world that caring is cool!

THE ENVIRONMENT

Dolphin Dude hangs out along the wild, wondrous stretch of the Pacific Ocean, a place where kelp forests tower like underwater cathedrals, coral reefs flicker with life, and the deep blue hums with mystery. It’s a dynamic, ever-changing world, full of beauty, danger, and the rhythms of tides and migration.

Once a laid-back local from Southern California, Finn rode waves and dodged responsibilities with ease. But warming waters, disappearing food sources, and rising ocean heat made life more chaotic, not to mention the surface world was getting louder and rougher in more ways than one - the political climate above the waves began to echo the turbulence below.

So Finn followed the current north, eventually making his way to the cooler, calmer waters off Canada’s Pacific coast. There, amid rocky reefs and misty kelp groves, he found a new kind of home, one where marine creatures of all stripes gathered not just to survive, but to imagine something better.

Now, his hangout isn’t just a chill surf spot, it’s a frontline in the fight for a healthier ocean. And while Finn still loves to ride a good wave, he’s learning that protecting your home, and your pod, takes more than just a splash. It takes purpose, partnership, and a whole lot of heart.

    DOLPHIN DUDE - FInn

    Finn is a Bottlenose Dolphin from the warm southern seas. A wave-chaser, a prankster, and a champion of speed. Life used to be simple: racing boats, flipping through swells, and goofing off with his pod. But things started to change. The waters warmed, food grew scarce, and the reef he called home, once bursting with life, was slowly destroyed by overfishing. Now, Finn uses his speed and smarts to protect his ocean friends and fight for a healthier sea. Caring is cool, and Finn is here to prove it!

    JUICY THE JELLYFISH

    Juicy is a Moon Jellyfish born in a vibrant coral tidepool, the youngest among a vast bloom of siblings. While many drifted away with the currents, Juicy remained, driven by curiosity and a desire to help. Though the smallest of the group, Juicy has the biggest heart. His bright glow and joyful spirit shine through, even as he sometimes faces moments of social anxiety and loneliness, reminding us that even the tiniest creatures experience deep emotions. Sweet, sparkly, and pure joy in jelly form, his smile and laughter are truly contagious.

    SHELLTON THE SEA TURTLE

    Shellton has roamed the ocean for over two centuries. Once a fearless protector of a now-lost coral city, he withdrew into the hidden trenches after witnessing decades of destruction. But the rise of Dolphin Dude and his crew reignites Shellton’s hope for a better future and pulls him out of hiding. Now, he guides the young heroes through training, ancient ocean lore, and the unspoken truths of the deep. Stern but soft-hearted, Shellton is a living relic with a heart as deep as the sea.

Animated dolphin wearing sunglasses, a jellyfish with a star on top, a flying blue whale with a golden fin, and an octopus with a golden helmet and star, all smiling.
