Zoom the White Dolphin is an all-new animated series of 52 13-minute episodes. Season 1 is aired on TF1 since August 30, 2015, and season 2  since October 4, 2020.
The series tells the story of Yann, a diving-mad teenager, and Marina, his adorable seven year old sister. Yann and Marina live with their uncle, Patrick, an oceanographer, on Maotou, a paradisiac and remote island in the Pacific Ocean. When Yann meets Zoom, a mysterious and remarkably intelligent white dolphin, it is the start of an indestructible friendship.
The series is entirely computer animated and rendered in 2D. Its original use of light and colours makes its graphic style thoroughly unique.
Zoom the White Dolphin is produced by Media Valley and Marzipan Films with the participation of TF1. The series is directed by Stephane Bernasconi.
