What happens

Katak: The Brave Beluga (French: Katak, le brave béluga) is a Canadian animated film, directed by Christine Dallaire-Dupont and Nicola Lemay and released in 2023. The film centres on Katak, a young beluga living in the Saguenay Fjord who has a reputation as a late bloomer as he is still grey and has not turned white like most belugas his age; eager to prove his maturity and courage, he embarks on a quest to find his grandfather in the northern sea. The film was released in both English and French versions, with Ginette Reno as the sole cast member who voiced the same character in both languages. The film's production was first announced in 2020, under the working title Beluga Blues. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
