Synopsis
The Turtle and the Shark is one of the most popular Samoan legends. It tells the story of a man and a woman who are deeply in love. Unfortunately, the man is chosen to be the next meal to the cannibal King Malietofaiga.
To avoid this horrible fate, they flee to another island. However, fearing their act of disobedience would bring dishonor on their families, they willingly gave up their lives at the cliffs of Vaitogi. The gods had mercy on them and transformed them into a turtle and a shark to live together, forever.
Director Ryan Woodward has previously worked on Spiderman 2 and 3, Where the Wild Things Are, Powerpuff Girls and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and will next work as an Animatic Artist on Iron Man 2.
