Movie description:
The Polynesian boy Tiko finds a helpless baby shark. He raises it as a pet. Eventually the boy and the shark must go their separate ways, but they meet again years later.
A Polynesian boy named Tiko and his beloved pet shark Manidù provide the basis of this South Seas adventure. The boy finds a helpless baby shark and, with the help of a friend from the States, Diana, raises it as a pet. After the shark reaches adulthood, the boy reluctantly returns it to the ocean. Diana also departs back to the States for an education. Ten years pass, and the natives are being forced to leave their fisheries by modern, more organized fishermen. Leading the way to progress is Diana’s brother. Tiko is now a young man and works as a pearl diver. One day his life is endangered and he finds himself rescued by his shark. He is thrilled to be reunited with his old friend, but his happiness is cut short when the modern fishermen destroy his village and force the residents to flee. By this time Diana has returned from the States. She, Tiko, and the shark soon leave the island to find a peaceful home of their own.
