A whale wakes up stranded on a New Zealand beach…
Unable to move, the whale is subjected to often pointless but always comical conversations with a host of passing characters.
The Seagull
The first of the episodes, originally created as a standalone animation, follows the story of a blue whale that wakes up on a New Zealand beach, and finding a seagull there, where they have a conversation about chips and the fact the whale can't chew. The seagull then wanders off to find a bucket or a hose bro.
The Snail
Awoken by something tickling him, the Whale meets an overly excited and constantly amazed Snail who is leaving the sea in fear of salt.
The Baby Whale
The Seagull and the Whale are confused when a Baby Whale intentionally swims ashore to avoid his skin going wrinkly.
The Squid
The Seagull finds a bucket for the Whale only to discover a Squid who is extremely relaxed about being bait inhabits it.
The Stringray
The Whale tries to convince a really sad (or possibly really dead) Stingray to talk about his emotions by singing a song with the Seagull.
The Duck
A duck takes some ducks for an excursion to end up in the trap of a fire breathing dragon.
The Turtle
The Whale comes across a Turtle who is in a hurry to bury her eggs before disaster strikes.
The Bluebottle
The whale and the seagull think a bluebottle is deaf when it refuses to chat with them.
The Starfish
The whale and the seagull mistake a disabled starfish for a tasty snack.
The Crab
The whale is amazed by the size of the crab’s giant claw... which turns out to be a sensitive topic.
The Rope
This week the characters come up with a plan to get the whale ‘de-beached’, but can they all work together to save the day or will the whale be forever ‘beached az’?
