The Owl and the Pussycat

Owl units out to woo Pussycat in a ship laden with fruit from their Caribbean island and with a guitar at his facet, prepared for serenading.

 

As they sail off throughout the ocean, one other story unfolds within the water beneath the boat. One after the other, unique sea creatures swim into the image and small yellow fish appears to be on the lookout for somebody.
