Pup

Pup is the main protagonist of the Malaysian animated film, Seefood. He is a young brownbanded bamboo shark who sets out on an adventure out of the ocean to save shark eggs at the risk of his life.
He was voiced by Diong Chae Lian.
== Personality ==
Pup is generally sympathetic, impatient, adventurous, stubborn, reckless, determined, and has a taste for thrills at high speed. He also has very low self-esteem due to his short stature, a feeling that worsens after he fails to prevent the theft of the eggs, to the point that he qualifies himself as nothing. .
Another peculiar trait of Pup is that he will never abandon his friends, daring to venture to the surface to save his unborn fellows and later Julius when he the latter is captured by humans. After that, he ceases to consider himself insignificant.
== History ==
While taking a nap, Pup is abruptly awoken by his best friend Julius the Oceanic White Tip shark, who he then races with until the pair stumble upon dozens of bamboo shark eggs on the reef. After Julius withdraws to go hunting, Pup finds himself confronting Lanky and Pudgy who have come to steal the eggs. When Julius returns he finds Pup unconscious and the young shark blames himself for not being able to save the eggs to the point of even becoming depressed and loses his appetite, despite Julius telling him that he did his best. better.
He later finds Octo the octopus spying on an underwater station with a plan to build a machine to get away from here before they get to the wreck of a liner where Octo stores his machines. and other human debris. There, they have fun driving a wheeled and motorized tub made by Octo only to crash and Pup ends up with his head stuck in the sand. Once out, Pup thinks it's been great, while Octo has a new idea just seeing Pup stand on all four fins like a quadruped.
Returning to the reef where the memory of the eggs he could not save continues to demoralize him, Pup is invited by Julius to come and hunt with him. Clinging to the dorsal fin of his friend chasing a fish, Pup is not having fun and withdraws, prompting Julius to ask him what he has. Pup depressingly responds to him that he is not able to do what the Oceanic Whitetip shark does because he is neither tall nor even brave in his own point of view, even going so far as to yell at Julius to stop calling him his 'little brother' because he is nothing.
Isolating himself on a rock, Pup receives a visit from Myrtle the turtle who tries to comfort him by telling him that he will eventually find his place. Spin the manta ray also arrives and reveals to Pup that he knows where the eggs were taken. Guided by Spin, Pup discovers that the eggs are stored in a fishmonger's shed on the beach pier but Myrtle discourages him from trying to save them just because Spin made her believe he could do it.
Refusing to give up, Pup goes to Octo to help him save the eggs with his machines but like Myrtle, the octopus is against the idea of ​​rescue. Disappointed, Pup leaves and is immediately caught by Spin who makes her listen to a conversation between Octo and Myrtle where Pup discovers that his two friends have intentionally hidden from him that he could breathe out of the water. With this discovery, he rushes to the beach to save the eggs on his own.
After placing himself in a puddle in the sand, Pup takes a chance, only to find that he can breathe air beautifully and well. Arrived at the shed, Pup sneaks in after the two human kids are away and finds the bins where the eggs are held before hiding there when the Lanky and Pudgy return with their Uncle Fatman,leaving his chances of escape zero.
After dark, Pup hears something and thinks it is Julius. Just then, two eggs hatch, much to Pup's delight, who more than determined to bring them back to the ocean, at the idea of ​​using a bowl on a skateboard for transport. He then manages to pass discreetly under the nose of the two dirty kids who wanted to take the eggs for themselves and locks them in-extremis inside by closing the latch with a blow of the tail.
Despite the difficulty of the effort, Pup manages to bring his fellows back to the beach where he receives a helping hand from Myrtle. After finally bringing the eggs and the two baby sharks back to the water, Pup learns from a coconut crab that Julius has been captured by humans. Refusing to leave her 'big brother' at the mercy of the fishmongers, Pup rushes to the shed with the crab but collides with the local chickens. The latter admit to having delivered Julius to the humans because they believed he had come aboard a robotic costume to eat them, prompting them to help the young shark save his friend and redeem themselves.
Along with his new allies, Pup sneaks into the hangar again and then joins Julius and his minions in the robotic suit to replenish water. The crab then cuts the ropes holding the suit while the roosters beating the two kids but Fatman suddenly disembarks and attacks the sea creatures with a harpoon, forcing them to run away.
Chased by Fatman and his nephews on vehicles, Julius and Pup try to sow them through the jungle and with the help of the roosters, they manage to get rid of the dirty kids but end up being run over by the buggy of the ignoble fishmonger . Julius having been knocked out by the shock, Pup attacks Fatman only to be repelled. With the sight of his little brother awkward, Julius takes over Fatman while being joined by roosters and coconut crabs until the human takes Pup hostage to escape. Julius runs after him and manages to save Pup while Fatman is arrested with his nephews by the authorities after his buggy has crashed into a factory polluting the ocean.
Everyone finally returned home, Pup is happy to see that the now all hatched eggs live peacefully in their reef before returning to have fun with Julius.
