Last weekend we were lucky to have the chance to go along to a preview screening of Reef 2: High Tide, which is out today!
Reef 2 is a brilliant underwater adventure for all the family. It’s a striking CGI animation by Paramount Pictures starring Drake Bell, Fran Drescher, Andy Dick and Frankie Jonas.
The story tells of brave fish Pi who has defeated bullying shark Troy once before, but when Troy returns stronger than ever and with a gang of shark supporters, Pi realises he can not defeat him alone and needs to make a plan to defend the Reef.
At first Pi thinks the best way is to teach everyone to fight just like him, but it does not go well so the rest of the Reef are easily won over by charming stranger Ronny who persuades them all to hold an Underwater Musical Extravaganza instead of training to fight!
The film has a great mix of action, comedy and a positive message about how everyone in the Reef has their own special skill and that they can all succeed when working together!
Have a look at the trailer below:
We would definitely recommend the film. All my boys really enjoyed it from age 2-5 years but it is suitable for older children too. Even their dad and I enjoyed it too! The animation is really striking and colourful and the underwater environment is suited brilliantly to watching in 3D.

Emmy would love this.
She adores the 1st one.
May have to add to an every ending list
I’m sure my girls would love this 🙂 x
Both Chester and Millie would love this. Chester loved the first one! I don’t think I can brave taking both of them to the cinema on my own so will have to wait for hubbies day off I think!
Glad your kids enjoyed it. Hoping I can get along with my lot soon! x
It looks like a lovely film. There’s no chance any of my children would sit through a whole film so shall wait to download it and watch it at home so we can pause every 10 minutes for an intense debate on what’s happening and toilet or snack breaks etc.
Looks fun. Thanks for the great review.
I haven’t seen this – don’t even remember Reef 1 – so will look into these 🙂
I haven’t seen any of these so will have to watch with my two inshaAllah. Thanks for the recommendation. 🙂
I’ve not heard of Reef before! Sure my son would enjoy it!
Can’t wait til little one can snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy something for more than 4 minutes!!
Oh this looks like something Munchkin would love! Will have to go watch it
The film sounds good! 🙂
We’ve seen it and it gets a thumbs up from us!
Oh I watched the reef and i LOVED it. I still love it & im 17 now haha. I had no idea part 2 came out. Something else to add to my to-watch list.
So glad you enjoyed it – it’s great to see a balanced view on both sides 🙂
