Echo is a youngster who can't quite decide if it's time to grow up and take on new responsibilities-or give in to her silly side and just have fun. Dolphin society is tricky, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy. But Echo has a tough time resisting the many adventures the ocean has to offer.

DisneyNature launched Earth Day 2009; this became their lowest-grossing doc despite being one of their prettiest. Coral reefs deserved better.
