“A sweet natured, underwater kids’ story about a likeable young dolphin, who goes in search of a magic horn to save the ocean’s creatures, only to realize that it’s not about magic but collective responsibility."

Dolphins have always intrigued humans by their gentle caring nature and intelligence. They’ve connected to many divers and surfers in the water and we’ve always admired their powerful bond to family and young. We cannot help but feel – somehow – connected to them.
It is up to us all to teach this generation to care for our environment. To show them that it is possible we start making a difference.
Daniel Dolphin will partner with marine organizations around the globe to help them in all their efforts of conservation, education and marine wildlife care. A percentage of the profits of the Daniel Dolphin film will go toward ocean sustainability initiatives world wide.

"Dear Daniel Dolphin team:
It seems like yesterday when I swam and surfed for the first time with a real dolphin I named Daniel. Every day as I paddled out he would join me and we would surf the waters of Guincho, in Portugal, together. This was fifteen years ago. Inspired by this wonderful creature, I wrote a short novel I never expected to publish, yet it was published, and today continues to sell millions of copies in 45 languages and dialects around the world.
Today, as I write these words, Daniel Dolphin has finally surfed the perfect wave. With a wonderful script written by a brilliant Canadian Director, Adam Mars, and supported by one of the most wonderful and professional Producers I have ever met, Carmen Forsberg, Daniel Dolphin has finally entered the big leagues. With a wonderful animation studio, a growing talented producing team, and a beautiful script, “Daniel Dolphin, and the Guardians of the Ocean” will be a song of joy and hope for the world to see.
Whatever ocean you are swimming in right now, Daniel Dolphin, without even knowing it, you will make of this world a better place. This I know for sure, because you taught me to work with passion, love and humbleness. The rest will come by consequence. And it did...
Thanks to everyone involved in this wonderful dream, from the bottom of my heart.
Yours,
