Blue Whales: Return of the Giants Blue Whales: Return of the Giants narrated by award-winning actor Andy Serkis, takes viewers on a journey of a lifetime to explore the world of the magnificent blue whale, a species rebounding from the brink of extinction.

Blue Whales: Return of the Giants will entertain audiences of all ages and transform our understanding of these iconic creatures.
The film follows two scientific expeditions: one, a high-risk mission to find a missing population of blue whales, not seen in 50 years; and the other, to join Diane Gendron, the “blue whale whisperer,” in Mexico’s Gulf of California, where she and her team explore the important role these remarkable animals play in the health of our oceans. This immersive experience will examine whales’ impressive scale, unique feeding habits, and spectacular abilities in long-distance communication, transforming viewers’ understanding of the largest animal to have ever lived.
