The Last Whale Singer

Directed by Reza Memari
Canada
2025
91 mins
All Ages
This thrilling animated adventure follows a self-doubting teenage humpback whale who must find his voice (with a little help from his friends) in order to save the ocean.

This sweeping animated adventure made waves at the Zurich International Film Festival. When Vincent, a young humpback whale, loses his parents, he begins to doubt his own abilities. How could he possibly live up to the legacy left behind by his father, the last of the Whale Singers? But when a colossal, ancient force awakens in the ocean depths, Vincent learns he is the only one who can stop it – he just has to find his voice. With his loyal, quick-witted nanny fish, Walter, by his side, Vincent embarks on a breathtaking journey that will test his strength, resilience and the true power of his song. A dazzling tale of friendship and self-belief, The Last Whale Singer is a splash of fun for the whole family.
