Bruce Attack

**Bruce Attack** is an episode in the TV series Tigger & Pooh's Sea Adventures and is one of the most attractive and popular episodes in the series because the episode's inspiration and imitation is from the 1975 American thriller film Jaws.

## Plot

The episode begins one evening in Captain Sabertooth's Castle. Darby is getting ready for bed. She finds Daniel in their room, he watching a lady swimming in the ocean just outside Port Abra. Darby gets curious when Daniel appears to be the possessed of the lady. She gets Daniel ready for bed but when Daniel looks out the window again, the lady is gone. He and Darby go to sleep for the night as the screen heads toward the surface of the ocean where a shark's dorsal fin emerges from the water and back down while "Jaws Theme" is played in the background.

the next morning Daniel, Darby, Tigger, Pooh and Christopher Robin walk down to the village, on the way Darby asks Daniel what he liked about the lady from last night but Daniel adds that it is secret and that no one must know it, not even Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbossa, Will Turner or Elizabeth Swann. When they arrive at the village, they greet the inhabitants until they meet Pintel and Ragetti which carries a box that they say contains body parts they found on the beach earlier that day. Daniel gets curious and orders to find out what had happened.

Joshamee Gibbs examines the body parts and adds that the person was killed in a boat accident. Once Daniel had left, Gibbs admits to Darby, Tigger, Pooh and Christopher Robin that it was a shark that killed the lady. Darby wants to close the beaches to ensure the safety of the people, but Gibbs stops her and explains that Daniel is terrified of sharks and that they must keep the threat hidden from him. When they get to the beach where they meet Daniel who plans the security. Just then the shark appeared and kills a young boy swimming on his raft and swimmers struggled to get out of the water. Daniel is frightened and runs back to the castle and the others follow him. Christopher Robin finds Daniel hiding under the duvet. Christopher Robin asks Daniel why he's so afraid of sharks and he hasn't seen him so scared since they met Gory Gabriel. Daniel said he was attacked and nearly eaten by a shark a long time ago, and ever since then he's been afraid of sharks.

Meanwhile, Darby is curious what Daniel liked about the lady from last night. She asks Tigger that he knows what kind of girls Daniel liked? (which was neither her or Kairi). Tigger says that Daniel loved and was crazy about both girls and ladies who had bare midriff (only the ladies who were young and slim), but why he likes it? Tigger doesn't know. Darby decides to change her style and gets some old clothes from Elizabeth. Just then a man named Quint who is a shark hunter arrives, he says that the mom of the boy who was eaten by the shark has places a bounty on the shark for $10,000. The gang joins Quint down to the village where they meet Pintel and Ragetti who come with a shark and the townspeople believe it to be the culprit of the earlier killings and the case is now closed.

Daniel is grateful, but Christopher Robin does not agree (since he saw that the shark was much bigger). Many tourists arrive to Port Abra,, where a dorsal fin is sighted, causing mass panic, only for it to come on land and be discovered to be made of plastic - it was a prank orchestrated by local teenagers. As people are calming down and recovering from the panic of the prank, the shark enters a cove and tilts a rowboat, killing the boater. Daniel goes into shock. Tigger, Pooh, Buster and Christopher Robin (who takes Darby's place since she changes into her new outfit) become the Super Sleuths. They help Daniel against a horde that doesn't like Daniel being afraid of sharks (since Captain Sabertooth wasn't afraid of sharks). Daniel, fearing losing the throne, hire  Quint to kill the shark.

Daniel joins him (just to prove that he is worthy of the title of king of the sea). Tigger, Pooh, Buster and Christopher Robin also join. Just then, Darby comes dressed as a belly dancer to join the hunt. They sail away in Quint's vessel, The Orca. Tigger is given the task of laying a chum line but an enormous great white looms up behind the boat, and the crew watch it circle the Orca. Quint estimates its size as twenty-five feet in length, with a weight of over three tons. He harpoons it with a line attached to a flotation barrel, but the shark pulls the barrel underwater and disappears.

Daniel retire to the cabin, where Quint relates his experience with sharks as a survivor of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. The shark returns, damages the hull and slips away. It reappears in the morning. Daniel attempts to call the pirates, but Quint destroys the radio, enraging Daniel. After a long chase, Quint harpoons two more barrels to the shark, and the Super Sleuths tie them both to the stern, but the shark drags the boat backwards, forcing water onto the deck and flooding the engine. Before Quint can sever the lines with a machete, the stern cleats are yanked out. He then heads toward shore, hoping to draw it into shallow waters and suffocate it. In his obsession to kill the shark, Quint burns out the Orca's engine.

With the boat immobilized, the crew must abandon ship. Christopher Robin dons scuba gear and enters the ocean inside a shark proof cage, intending to lethally inject the shark with a hypodermic spear filled with strychnine while the others row towards land. The shark attacks and demolishes the cage from behind, causing Christopher Robin to drop the spear before he can inject it. When the shark becomes entangled in the wrecked cage, Christopher Robin escapes and get on board in the lifeboat (where Tigger, Pooh and Buster are board). The shark then leaps onto the Orca and attacks it directly, crushing the transom. Daniel and Darby who did not manage to get on board in the lifeboat hiding behind the cabin. Quint slides down the deck and is devoured alive by the shark. Darby falls into the water and the shark tries to eat her. Daniel realizes the shark's appetite (due to the reaction it had when it eats all the unfortunate people). That it is like best people as have little clothing on their bodies.

Daniel pushes his fear away and shoves a pressurized scuba tank into the shark's mouth, the shark overlooks Darby and attacks Daniel as takes Quint's rifle. The shark jumps out of the water and gets Daniel right in front of him and dives to the seabed with him. It pushes Daniel in to a rock and tries to eat him. Daniel holds off the shark's sharp jaws (but the shark eats some of Daniel's Pirate's coat and both of his shoes). Daniel begins to lose air and reaches for Quint's rifle. Meanwhile, Christopher Robin Tigger, Pooh, Buster and Darby have made it to land, they see movement in the water (from the fight between Daniel and the shark). Suddenly a huge explosion comes out of the water and the water turns blood red. The gang believes that Daniel died in the explosion until he emerges exhausted from the water. Daniel tells them that the threat is finally over and that the shark is blowing to pieces.

The shark's head is placed on a building in Port Abra which gives Daniel the people's believe on him back. Later that night back at the castle, Darby thanks Daniel for saving her and that she is proud of him for overcoming his fear of sharks. But when they were about to go to bed, Darby asks Daniel what he likes ladies who had bare midriff. Daniel doesn't want to say it, but Darby tempts him by standing in front of him in her belly dancer outfit. It makes Daniel kan't keep his secret anymore. He turns off the light. When two candles on either side of the bed are lit, Darby lies on her back in bed with her arms and legs chained to each end of the bed. Daniel emerges from the darkness with a creepy grin, he sits on her thighs and explains to Darby that he likes ladies who had bare midriffs because he so wants to tickle their bellys. So he tickles Darby's bare stomach while she laughs with no opportunity to resist.
