Plot summary
On Seal Island, cape fur seals Quinn and his nervous best friend Benji hunt for fish while their community lives in fear of sharks, a fear their elder Brick dismisses. Short of food, the two search the human shipwrecks at night and run into Grimes, a great white shark, and his remoras. Quinn hides, but Benji is killed. The retired veteran Claggart drives Grimes off and pulls Quinn to the surface. Quinn finds Claggart at the wreck of the Good Boy and asks to be taught how to fight sharks. Claggart tells him to gather a team. Quinn recruits Beth, who would rather lick rocks, and the boastful Geraldo, who tells everyone about escaping a Cape Town aquarium. Training begins aboard the old ship.

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Seal Team was fully created at Triggerfish's Cape Town studio, but some animation was outsourced to Base FX in Beijing, and Johannesburg's Chocolate Tribe handled part of the rigging using Maya's mGear and Python tools to give the characters a stop-motion look.
- Matthew Rhys said he wanted to voice the shark villain Grimes because he has a 4-year-old son who is obsessed with sharks.
