- Curious creations, clever corals, et cetera.

Yes, I found it.

The race to most remarkable of recipes.

- The recipe to finally defeat motherboard?

- Pack your bags.

We're going on vacation.

[upbeat music]

- Think fast, Matt.

- Right back at you.

- Oh, I have something nice.

- Nice.

- Wow, incredible catch.

- Ah, Coraliner, the perfect cyber site for our vacation.

- Yeah, home to the most gorgeous

coral reefs in cyberspace.

- I even brought this special sunscreen.

It won't harm the coral.

- Cool.

- Thanks.

- I promised my Aunt Monica I'll bring her home something.

I'm hoping to find a beautiful piece of coral

to make into a necklace.

- I can't wait to see the reef.

When do we go?

- On the boat.

[upbeat music]

- Unbelievable.

- Wow, it's like an underwater art museum.

- Are those plants, flowers, rocks?

- Yeah, what are those?

- One closer look coming up.

Behold the wonders of Coraliner.

- Hey, they're waving at us.

- And they're singing.

- Their music is beautiful.

- I think we have a problem.

[dramatic music]

- It's Crustacea.

The Crustacea.

- [All] Crustacea?

- Who's Custacea?

- That crab that into liberty.

She's the protector of the coral.

I can't believe I finally get a chance to meet her.

Greetings, Crustacea.

It's an honor.

I'm captain Digit, and this is the cyber squad.

- Digit, it is an honor to finally meet you,

the most famous cybered in cyberspace.

- Yeah, hear that?

Crustacea knows who I am.

- And you must be the cyber squad.

I've heard much about you as well.

- Fine, and who are they?

- The krill crew.

They keep the water as clean as possible,

but now we need your help.

There is something very wrong with the reef.

- Really?

It looks amazing to me.

- Here, yes, but ahead,

the water is much warmer than normal.

It's been too warm for a while now.

I'll show you.

And be careful not to bump the reef.

It is alive, you know.

- It is?

- Uh-huh, corals are animals.

They're very much alive.

- Corals are animals?

I didn't know that.

- This reef has been alive for , years.

Follow me.

[upbeat music]

- Wow, the reef sure looks different here.

The colors are fading.

- And the water's getting cloudy.

- Why is this happening, Crustacea?

- No one knows why the water's getting warmer,

but warm water is the enemy of the reef.

- Well, how amazing?

- The normal temperature

is between and cyber degrees.

It feels much warmer than that.

- According to this special thermometer,

it's cyber degrees.

- If normal is ,

it's two cyber degrees warmer than normal.

You were right, Crustacea.

- The crab's instincts are never wrong.

It's even warmer ahead.

- Lead the way, Crustacea.

You ready?

- Now I'm ready.

Time to defend the reef.

Let's do this.

[upbeat music]

- cyber degrees jacks.

- Got it in as inputting water temperature for Findonesia.

- [Sophia] Welcome to Squaky.

I am Sophia.

The temperature in Findonesia is cyber degrees.

- We'll track the different temperatures as we go,

and learn where the water is the warmest.

- Then do what the cyber squad does best.

Solve the problem.

[upbeat music]

No trespassing, nothing to see here.

No trespassing, nothing to see here.

[bell rings]

[upbeat music]

- Mix faster.

- This doesn't feel like a vacation.

- Call it a working vacation.

- You haven't told us what we're working on.

- After years of dealing with my wig,

I've decided to grow my own hair.

- I'm confused boss.

We're not trying to take over cyberspace?

- When we do take over cyberspace and we will,

I need to look even more handsome

than I already am for the victory celebration.

This special sea weed only found here in Coralina

will make that possible.

Keep stirring.

[upbeat music]

- Once this cools and I gloss my head

with this magical mixture,

a magnificent main of hair will sprout.

- Didi, speaking of sprouting,

I don't think that's supposed to happen.

Oops, I think you are, buzzy.

Allow me.

- Hit that fast.

The other way, Didi.

- Boss, your gel, it worked.

- [Sophia] You have arrived in Clamcun.

- Wow, you can barely see the sun.

Uh, that can't be good.

- It's not.

Without the sun, there can be no photosynthesis.

- I heard that.

You mean we can't take pictures here?

- No, Didi.

Photosynthesis is how sunlight helps make food

for living things.

- Exactly, algae or plants.

And they need the sun to grow

and to make food for the coral.

- So the cloudy water is stopping the sun

from helping the algae grow and make food?

- Yes, and if the water is too warm,

the algae must leave.

- Got it.

No algae, no food for the coral.

- No wonder the coral reef is losing its color.

It's losing its algae.

Yucks, it's cyber degrees.

- [Sophia] cyber degrees in Clamcun.

- , , .

It's three cyber degrees warmer

in Clamcun than in Findonesia.

- How hard is it gonna get?

- Wow.

- What's happening?

- [Sophia] Entering the Barracuda Triangle.

- This can't be a good thing.

- It's not, please stop getting the triangle.

- [Sophia] Approaching ocean floor.

Prepare for a bumpy landing.

- Didi, do something.

- I'm trying.

- Crustacea, you saved us.

- It is what Crustacea does.

- I can see it now, [laughs].

Not only will I have a full head of hair,

the Hacker hair empire will grow all across cyberspace.

I'll put by handsome head on a bottle,

and soon I'll be swimming in those blues.

- Can we take a break, boss?

My arm is tired.

- Yeah, mine too.

It's cramping from all the mixing.

- Negative.

- [Narrator ] No trespassing, nothing to see here.

- Sorry, boss.

- Help me boss, hear me.

- [Sophia] Entering the Gillippines.

- I have many friends who live here,

or used to live here.

- Oh no, it's cyber degrees.

- I read you nurse.

cyber degrees in the Gillippines.

- , it was just in Clamcun.

- , , , .

That makes it four degrees hotter in the Gillippines

than in Clamcun.

- Entering Shellgium.

- Ah, Shellgium.

This is where I grew up.

It is where I learned strength

for my body and my mind.

- It's even warmer here.

cyber degrees.

- [Sophia] Cyber degrees in Shellgium.

- Yucks, we better get to the end of this track fast.

- [Narrator ] No trespassing, nothing to see here.

- I'm so excited.

- Me too, Didi.

We get to see the coral reef again.

- How far?

- Down low, too slow.

[upbeat music]

- [Sophia] You have reached Ascuba.

- cyber degrees.

This is not good.

Not good at all.

- [Sophia] cyber degrees in Ascuba.

- , , , , .

In each place along the track,

the coral looks sicker and sicker.

- And the water is greener and greener.

- But check this out, Didi.

The warm water track points right to North Carolina Beach

at the end of the reef.

- Next stop, North Carolina Beach.

- The coral is so white, buzzy.

- And the water is so green.

Looks a lot different

than when we were here a few days ago.

- The sea weed, it's not looking too good either.

- It needs a lot less of a k*ll.

- Let's just do a grab and go.

- Over there.

- Over where?

Let's tell the boss.

- Maybe we can scare them away.

- Wow, it's so white.

A sick, fragile animal.

- That must mean we're closer

to finding out what the problem is.

- I hope you're right.

Our beloved coral won't survive these warm temperatures.

[both screams]

[upbeat music]

[air whooshes]

- It's Buzz and Delete?

- Follow those birds.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat music]

- Where'd they go?

- I am afraid.

We have lost them.

- If Buzz and Delete are here,

Hacker can't be far away.

- What are those earth kids doing here?

- I don't know.

But the boss isn't gonna be happy about it.

You better tell him.

- I'm not going to tell him.

You tell him.

- No, you tell him.

I told him last time.

- We got the sea weed boss.

- That's the good news.

The bad news is those earth kids are here.

- What?

No matter, my heads are always nearly finished.

- But they have a crab helping them.

- What could a lowly crab possibly do

against the mighty Hacker?

- It's not so lowly, boss.

- Enough, get to work.

- By the way, boss,

you need to know that the coral reef is white.

All those beautiful colors are gone.

Do you think maybe, possibly all the gunk

going into the water from what you're doing

is making the coral slightly sorta sick?

- Not sense.

What it is doing will give me hair

and make me rich.

- The source of the green water.

- Stay back.

Whatever this is, it's very hot.

Follow the pipe.

- [Narrator ] No trespassing, nothing to see here.

No trespassing, nothing to see here.

- The pipe's leading into the shack.

- That voice sounds familiar.

- It's Hacker.

He must be inside.

- So if the hot green water is coming from this pipe

and the pipe is coming from this shack,

then Hacker must be the one destroying the coral.

- But why?

- Well, whatever the reason, it ends now.

- Boss, the kids are right outside.

- I'm almost done.

Time to cool down my gel.

[upbeat music]

I damn it all to my dome.

Grow, hair, grow.

- All right, we're going in.

[upbeat music]

- It's locked.

- Not anymore.

- Hacker, stop what you're doing.

- Not a chance.

- You, what's that on your head?

- The boss is growing hair from Carolina seaweed.

- This is why you are here?

To grow hair?

- Hacker, you have to stop pouring hot, dirty water

into the ocean.

It's destroying the coral reef.

- Oh, is it?

I'm so sorry.

But my hair empire is much more important.

- Hey, we're trapped.

Let us out.

- What a master at work?

This is a great moment in hair growth history.

I hope you all enjoy your front row seat.

- Hacker, coral is alive,

amazing thing, you can't do this.

- But I am.

[upbeat music]

- At last we meet, Hacker.

- Crustacea. - Crustacea.

- That's the Hacker to you, crabby.

Oh, that was an impressive entrance.

You don't know much for the Hacker.

- You have no idea.

- Grab that crab.

[upbeat music]

- Yes, go, Crustacea.

[laughs]

- Your days of hurting

the coral reef are over, Hacker.

- We're not leaving until you do.

[screams]

- Oh, get this off me.

- Bon voyage, Hacker.

- Boss, please do something.

- Bye-bye, Hacker.

- [Narrator ] No trespassing, nothing to see here.

[upbeat music]

No trespassing, nothing to see here.

No trespassing.

- Yeah.

- We did it.

- Nicely done, Crustacea.

- The cruel crew will clean the water,

and in time, the reef will return to normal.

On behalf of all of Coralina, I thank you.

- Well, I guess you won't be bringing any coral

back for your Aunt Monica.

- Now that I know coral are living creatures,

well, I've realized they belong in the sea,

and that's exactly where they're going to stay.

But I did promise to bring her something from Coralina.

- Give her these.

- Are you serious?

I can't accept.

You need them.

- True, which is why I always carry an extra pair.

- Aunt Monica will love these.

- Awesome. - Nice.

- Tell her, Crustacea says hi.

- You know, you may have the shell of a crab,

but you've got the heart of a lioness.

- A lioness, I like that.

- I was just thinking

if we respect the corals and leave them alone,

maybe they'll live another , years.

- Right, and we'll be back then to make sure.

- I hope you come back sooner than that.

[all laughs]

[upbeat music]

- cyber degrees.

- That's right in the normal range.

- Last time you were in Findonesia, it was cyber degrees.

- [laughs] , the sun's back.

- Hello, photosynthesis.

- Where is Crustacea?

She said she'd meet us here.

- Look.

- Welcome back, my friends.

- Crustacea.

- We missed you.

- I missed you too.

Life is wonderful again on the reef.

- It's the coral lights.

- This place is the greatest.

- Coral reefs are truly amazing.

- Anyone for a swim?

- I'm in. - Absolutely.

- All right.

[upbeat music]

- Stay right where you are,

it's cyberchase for real.

[upbeat music]

- That ride was so scary with so much fun.

- When you were little,

you couldn't wait until you were tall enough

to go on that ride.

- I remember watching you go on it

thinking you were so lucky and I was not.

- I was the same way when I was little.

I tried to reassure you that you'd grow up

and my prediction came true.

- Yeah, I'm no longer five years old.

- I'm gonna get a drink, do you want one?

- No, thanks.

- I'll be right back.

[upbeat music]

- No straw?

- I don't use plastic straws.

If I don't have a reusable metal one with me,

then I go without, and I avoid using plastic cups too.

- Why?

- Straws and other kinds of plastic

are among the things that make coral reefs

and other marine animals sick.

- How can a rock get sick?

- Coral reefs may look like rocks,

but they are living animals.

And one out of four sea creatures

depends on coral reef to survive.

- How can one straw on the boardwalk

cause a problem for reefs out there?

- It's not about one straw or one person.

People in the U.S. use about million straws every day.

- I don't get it.

How do straws get in the ocean?

- Some people leave them on the beach.

They can wash with other litter

into rivers and streams that flow into the ocean,

and they fly off boats that carry trash.

Hey, let's go in there, and I can show you why this matters.

[upbeat music]

- Wow, this is great.

- Oh wow.

- That coral looks like a brain.

- And that one looks like flowers.

- A lot of the are skinny

so they can fit in narrow spaces in the coral.

That's how the coral protects them.

- The corals are amazing.

- This is what a healthy reef is supposed to look like.

But all over the world, reefs are losing their color

and the variety of marine life that depends on them.

That's because ocean water is warming.

On top of that, plastics and other harmful materials

that end up in the ocean, hurt the reef.

- Look what it says.

Plastic is trashing our ocean.

Everything that goes in here ends up in the ocean.

I didn't know that.

- Plastic water bottles, utensils, and straws get used once,

and then tossed often ending up in the ocean.

Will you pledge to refuse single use plastics?

- Yes. - Yes.

- You're a conservation superstar,

and we want you on the front page.

[upbeat music]

- I'm an ocean advocate.

Now I'm thirsty.

Can I get a lemonade without a straw

and get on that scary ride one more time?

- Sure.
