Dolphin society is tricky, and the coral reef that Echo and his family call home depends on all of its inhabitants to keep it healthy. But Echo has a tough time resisting the many adventures the ocean has to offer.”
  • Dolphin Reef is directed by Keith Scholey, who also directed Disneynature Bears.
