Deep

This is Earth. You probably know that.

You might've heard also that humans were totally to blame

for, like, everything that happened.

They made the whole earth and sea unlivable.

Then, they just up and left. Left the whole planet to die.

And we would've, too, if it wasn't for my grandpa, the Kraken.

Yep, that's him. Except he's not really that terrifying.

Most of the time anyway.

Grandpa gathered all the creatures he could

and led us to the only safe place left...

a cave way down at the bottom of the ocean.

That's it up ahead.

Yeah, it's okay. For a hole at the bottom of the ocean

that we're never, ever allowed to leave.

Hey!

To the banquet hall, everyone. On the double.

Ohh, lucky you! You're about to witness the event of a lifetime.

Places, guys. Everyone ready?

And lights.

Nice!

- Happy Survival Day, everyone. - Oh, boy.

Now, please direct your attention

to the stage as we welcome The Thunder From Deep Under,

the giant cephalopod that made this all possible,

the one, the only, the Kraken.

We made it alive through one more year.

Let the feasting commence.

Bravo.

Citizens, this year we prepared a very special menu,

which I am sure you will all enjoy.

Really? Again?

Slime. Same as last year.

It's the exact same thing as last year.

Didn't I literally just say that?

- Excuse me. - Best day ever.

You know what would make it good?

If Kraken would let us go out there.

We both know your grandpa, Deep.

It'll never happen.

Guys, quit talking about going out there.

Out there is scary.

Evo, what are you doing back there?

- Hiding. - From what? It's a party.

- It's perfectly safe. - For your information, Alice,

the Cannibal Carnival of '35 started as a party.

All right, everybody, gift exchange. Whoopie.

- Oh, Happy Survival Day. - Happy Survival Day.

- Happy Survival Day. - Oh, thanks so much.

Dude, Happy Survival Day, man.

- How'd you know? - Told ya. Same doo doo.

Deja doo doo.

But I have something not poopy at all for my best friends.

- Oh? - Huh?

Close your eyes.

I know what that means. It's gonna be scary.

Okay... open them.

Told ya.

- What's this? - Your gifts.

Okay. Any reason Evo got a head and I got a butt?

Alice, the butt is important, too.

- If you don't have a butt... - I know why you gave me this.

You don't respect me because I'm small.

That is so not true. I've got a foot here, take it.

Or I'll just get you something else next time I go out.

- The next time you go where? - Uh-oh.

What have I told you about going outside?

You endanger all of us.

And it's far, far worse because you are my grandson and heir to the throne.

Deep, you're impulsive and reckless.

You only think of yourself.

How will you ever take over one day?

To keep us alive, this colony needs a strong leader.

But I don't want to just be alive, Grandpa.

I want to feel alive.

I'm telling you for the last time.

Do not disappoint me again, Deep.

Why can't he ever be proud of me?

All right, party's over. We got work to do.

I need volunteers.

Oh, oh! Count me in! Me, me, me!

Hello! Right here! Me, me, me!

I need an entertainment, uh, what do you call it?

Coordinator?

- Right. For dancing and... - Singing!

Oh, I'm a double-threat. One stop shopping.

Okay, if there are no volunteers...

- You! - Who? Me?

The coffinfish? So not fair.

- Evo! - Huh?

Get that nightlight of yours over to the nursery for sleepy time duty.

Yay, babies. I'm on it.

Deep, you're on filter duty. The loofah needs to be cleaned.

Abso-loofah-ly.

As in...? You know what, forget it.

Oh, oh! Hey, hey! What about me?

Oh, I can't believe it.

Sometimes it's like I'm not even here.

Well, if you're not here, then I guess no one will notice if you come with me.

Deep, your grandpa's gonna punish you.

Keeping me locked up down here, he's already punishing me.

- Coming? - No-peedee-nope.

- And you shouldn't either. - Chicken.

I happen to be a shrimp, thanks.

Look at all this cool stuff. It's incredible!

And who found it? Me! I went outside and explored.

I'm a pioneer.

I bet this was a king's scepter.

Deep! They just called an emergency inspection.

Did you change the filter? Huh?

The loofah!

Oh, where? Come on.

Let's see. Oh, come on.

Ah! This'll do!

There. So clean you'll have to come up with a new word to describe it.

- Bubbles! - Weird choice, but okay.

- Look how bubbles the water is. - No, Deep. Bubbles!

Um...

Ah...

Oh...

Hey, where do think you're going?

It's always something with you. Come back here, Deep!

Deep!

- Cool! - Hey.

Now it's time to peacefully...

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

Don't drop the baby. Don't drop the... agh!

Come back here, Deep!

Now I want the truth and don't lie.

I can see right through you.

Okay. I did steal 40 million eggs.

I just didn't think anyone could responsibly raise that many kids.

Return them now. Next case.

Excuse me, Kraken? Sir.

Sorry to report someone replaced the filter with a man-made sponge.

On the plus side, the colony does smell lemony fresh.

Fix it now!

Maybe you should avoid your grandfather for just a bit.

Alice, I'm thinking I better stay away from my grandpa for a while.

Oh, great idea. Where'd you come up with that?

Huh?

What's happening in my room?

- Grandpa, Grandpa! That's my stuff! - Whoa!

I will not have the outside world influence you anymore!

Hey!

- Stop it! - Enough!

Everyone in this colony is a member of a team.

We support each other. We listen to each other.

It's how we've survived all these years.

And if you're not working with the team, you're working against it.

So tell me Deep, are you a team player, or not?

Grandpa, I...

Yes. Think about it.

And in the meantime, stay in your room.

I don't want to see you until you've counted to 10,000.

Grandpa's right. I'm a disappointment.

But if I had listened to Grandpa,

I never would've found any of these priceless human artifacts.

Oh, wait! I almost forgot.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10,000!

So I never paid attention in math.

Thank you, Alfonso. You're a great dancer, too.

Hey, weren't you supposed to count to 10,000 hundred million?

I did. Sorta. And now, I'm gonna have some fun.

Hey, Alice, wanna come?

Sure, Deep. Thanks for asking.

So the little fishy went swimming through the blue water.

And the fishy said...

Sorry.

And the little fishy said...

Come on. Let's go explore.

Explore? Deep, who are you talking to?

Good point. Have fun in the dark.

Sweet dreams.

So, the fishy continued, wondering what was next.

Maybe dangers? Weird creatures with razor-sharp claws?

And poison tentacles and terrifying screams?

Get me out of here.

- Deep! - Ouch! Oh, hi, Evo.

Whew! That nursery's a horror show.

- Shall we? - Huh? No.

Alice, aren't you going to stop him?

No. Frankly, I'm a little curious what's out there.

Besides, it's not like anyone'll notice I'm gone.

Huh?

Whoa! I always imagined outside being... smaller.

Hey, guys! Check this out. It's totally cool.

Yeah!

What's that?

That's your shadow.

Look, shine your light against these rocks.

Huh?

See? Nothing to be scared of.

Wow. Wish I was that big.

Sorry.

- What is that thing? - Oh, come on.

Everybody knows this is a... hat.

And this is a boat motor.

- What's a boat? - This is the boat.

You sure, Deep? Looks dangerous.

Please! I know better than you guys.
