"FINNY THE SHARK - EP 1"
Follow Finny and friends as they explore stories of friendship, family, and everyday life through the (fish-eye) lens of a preschooler. Whether it’s traversing the first day of school, a trip to the dentist, or trying to be brave at a first sleepover, Finny’s wild imagination turns everyday experiences into over the top adventures! Mama Shark, Papa Shark, the pet jellyfish Sparky, and Finny’s best friends Myrtle the Turtle, Chloe the Crab, and Sammy the Seahorse are all happy to be along for the ride.
When he puts another person's life in danger due to vision problems, Marko falls into a limbo between reality and fiction, made up of feelings of guilt and his own fears.
