Sensory screenings will run with a lower capacity and a lower volume for a calmer experience - This sensory screening is subtitled. Legend of the Enchanted Reef When their home reef is destroyed by a fishing trawler, three brave fish set out on a quest across the vastly polluted ocean to find the “Enchanted Reef” – a mythical underwater haven free from humans… The lively perciform Shorty, his smart sister Indigo and Jake, a daring sawfish, thrive in a bustling and colourful coral reef. One day, out of nothing, an enormous trawl devastates their reef. Our three heroes survive this cataclysm only with a great deal of luck. They are forced to leave their destroyed habitat and go on a search for a new and safe home. “Legend of the Enchanted Reef” is an imaginative and humorous, as well as exciting and touching animated movie for the whole family: the quest of three lovable characters for a safe home reveals the moving beauty of the seas but also their endangerment through massive human impact. The story combines entertaining and educative elements into a sustainable message about the great importance of our oceans.
