Die Verfilmung von Charles Kingsleys zeitlosem Kinderbuchklassiker erzählt die märchenhafte Geschichte des Schornsteinfegerjungen Tom in einer magischen Mischung aus Real- und Zeichentrickfilm. Im viktorianischen England wird der in ärmlichen Verhältnissen lebende Waisenjunge fälschlicherweise des Diebstahls beschuldigt. Auf seiner Flucht springt er in einen Fluss und muss im Reich der Fische, Seeungeheuer und anderer Fabelwesen spannende Abenteuer bestehen, bis er, zurück an Land, seine Unschuld beweisen kann.
Examines the sea horse, the only fish that swims upright. We watch it use its prehensile tail to wrap around plants and other sea horses. A frontal bulge houses organs including an air ballast. Three fins propel this fish. We see a female place her eggs in a male's pouch where they are fertilized and nurtured until birth in violent contractions. Inside the pouch are nurturing blood vessels. We then follow the growth of an embryo, greatly magnified: we examine its heart beating and its dorsal fin moving. Young sea horses attach themselves to each other. The film ends with images of many sea horses moving on the ocean floor, superimposed on a horse race.

With a horse's head, a monkey's tail and sex-swap parenting, seahorses are one of the ocean's strangest and most charismatic inhabitants. In this one hour special, wildlife filmmaker Natali Tesche-Ricciardi sets out to investigate something that most people don't realize - seahorse populations are in crisis from pollution and overfishing for tourist souvenirs, aquarium stock and traditional Chinese medicine. With the help of Project Seahorse, traders and fishermen are changing their ways to help wild seahorse populations. The future for wild seahorses remains uncertain but one fact cannot be disputed - our future generations will want to experience these enchanting fish - in their natural habitat and very much alive.
