An Animated Adventure The Last
Whale Singer

Vincent, an orphaned teenage humpback and son of the last Whale Singer, must master his father's song before an ancient Leviathan, freed from a melting iceberg, silences the ocean forever.

01 · Depth 0200m · The Song

A song passed from father to son, and a silence that wants to swallow it.

"Every generation, the ocean chooses one voice to hold it together. Vincent never asked for the song. The song is asking for him."

Beneath a warming sea, an iceberg splits and something older than memory slips free. The Leviathan does not hunt. It unmakes. Reefs fall silent in its wake. Songlines go dark.

Vincent is fifteen, grieving, and certain the song his father died for was never meant for him. With a ragtag pod of unlikely allies, a finicky remora nanny, an exiled orca warrior, and a wisecracking seahorse mentor, he must learn what his father could not teach him in time.

From the sunlit shallows of the Whale Singer's birthplace to the pitch black Midnight Zone where the Leviathan is waking, The Last Whale Singer is a story about inheritance, grief, and the terrifying act of opening your mouth when the world has gone quiet.

Fifteen, grieving, haunted by a song he never learned the words to. The film's beating heart.

Darya, a teenage orca warrior
Darya · Orca The Lone Warrior

A deaf orca renowned for her OrKarate. Cool, decisive, and exactly the friend Vincent did not know he needed.

Walter, a remora

Finicky, easily frightened, prone to lecturing, and absolutely devoted. He has cared for Vincent since birth.

Ora, a non-binary seahorse mentor

A wisecracking non-binary seahorse running a spiritual retreat in a sunken city. Vincent's guide when it matters most.

Izzy, a sea cucumber
Izzy · Sea Cucumber The Free Spirit

Self-confident, sassy, unapologetically gassy, and on a path to spiritual awakening. Do not make her roar.

Y, a jellyfish
Y · Jellyfish The Empath

Half transparent, senses emotion through touch. Calm, detached, a quietly grounding force for the pod.

Abe, a whale shark elder
Abe · Whale Shark The Elder

Blind, ancient, and patient. He remembers the first note the ocean was ever sung.

The Leviathan

Older than song, older than salt. What was frozen has thawed, and it is listening for anything left alive to silence.
