Tiko and the Shark poster

Overview

Filmed in French Polynesia with a Hawaiian cast, the story revolves around the adventures and romances of a young Polynesian boy as he grows up. As a child he raises and trains a baby shark as a pet, which he shares with his island playmate Diana. After a decade the three are reunited, but the world has changed: Tiko and Diana have become adults; the shark has become a dangerous man-eater; and civilization has encroached on the tropical island.

00:02:04 I am Ti-Koyo, the one with the shark.
00:06:41 To get a word for good luck.
00:09:35 I would be the best fisherman of the islands
00:14:48 But I...
00:19:35 It takes more to scare me!
00:29:16 Not all, Miss Diana, otherwise I'd get a stomach ache.
00:33:56 Then Cocoyo is right: fish do understand.
00:38:58 Get out!
00:44:50 I have a real shark. A live one. Very big.
00:49:53 and then we'll show Dana the kite game.
00:56:11 Already they begin to appear, next to the old huts.
01:00:04 Here.
01:04:10 Now that you've woken me up, will you at least let me have a swim?
01:08:22 I could sell them and buy what I need.
01:12:01 - Mr. Jeff... - What?
01:17:13 Yes, I think so.
01:19:59 Goodbye, Miss Diana.
01:24:22 They slid with two tentacles wrapped, as if holding hands.
01:28:44 That's why I asked you to come here.
01:31:07 Diana was jealous.
01:35:08 We found the open mesh but no one has seen him surface. And at that depth...
01:39:33 Of course. My holiday is over and I have no more reason to stay here.
01:43:00 - Here I did everything wrong. - Maybe we all did everything wrong.
02:00:00 - Fine with me.
