Production notes
A whale wakes up stranded on a New Zealand beach&
Unable to move, the whale is subjected to often pointless but always comical conversations with a host of passing characters.
Including a seagull who can't understand why whales can't eat chips, a salt-fearing Sea Snail who is searching for the promised land of a "garden," and a Crab that thinks his claw is his girlfriend.
Ultimately, the characters come up with a plan to get the whale "de-beached," but can they all work together to save the day, or will the whale forever be BEACHED AZ?
Based on the short film "Beached Whale," created in April 2008. The short was directed by Jarod Green, Anthony MacFarlane and Nick Boshier; written by MacFarland and Boshier; and animated by Green. It was seen mainly on YouTube.
