"Ally" centers on a pig squid named Ally, who lives deep in the South Pacific. Ally dreams of one day seeing the sun and becoming the star of a wildlife documentary. However, Ally's peaceful existence is suddenly disrupted when a mysterious plane crashes into the ocean. Forced to embark on an extraordinary journey towards the surface, she gathers a diverse, loyal, and unexpected group of companions to help her overcome numerous challenges.
Production on "Ally" began in 2019, with completion anticipated for the first half of next year, followed by a theatrical release later that year.
