Is it for you?

Who'll love it
If you count yourself among anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids, this one's for you. Works for the whole couch, from little ones up.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 3 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Danish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

Samson is a young whale that doesn't have friends. He spends his time listening to his mother's stories about the legendary whale Moby Dick. Samson becomes fascinated about it and decides to go on a journey to find Moby Dick.
