Captain Dave and his first mate Larry the Lobster aboard their Mellow Submarine encounter Echo, a young orca whale hiding from the Pacific Whale Song Festival. Echo is struggling with confidence because his singing voice differs from the traditionally powerful orca songs.

Larry shares a story about a seahorse who transformed her perceived weakness into a unique strength, helping Echo understand that being different can be special.

With newfound confidence, Echo develops his own gentle singing style that mirrors the ocean's natural rhythms. His unique performance at the festival inspires a new category of whale songs celebrating quieter voices, proving that being different isn't a weakness but a gift to be shared.
