Shark Days
What is the movie about?
Laura and Robert, a.k.a. “The Riddle Solvers,” are two siblings who run a riddle-solving stand, where they solve riddles for 5 cents a piece. After finding a mysterious riddle hidden within the pages of an ancient journal, they begin a quest – to find the tooth of the greatest living fish, a giant shark. With every shark tooth they find, a story is revealed within the magical pages of the journal, bringing them ever closer to the riddle’s answer.
Meet a colony of raucous sea lions who sing a tribute to their old nemesis, the great white shark. Meet a remora fish who hosts the ever popular gameshow “Are You A Shark?” in which contestants find out if they have what it takes to be a shark. Hear an opera-singing whale shark sing an ode to sharks everywhere. And meet a grizzled, old sea captain who unknowingly holds a tiny key to The Riddle Solvers’ success.
What is the answer to the riddle? What is the largest shark in the ocean? And what does the tooth of the world’s largest fish look like? To answer these questions, the Riddle Solvers learn that there’s more to sharks than meets the eye. This charming and hilarious masterpiece has received “two fins up” from sharks everywhere.
