Kaluokaʻhina<\/span>: The Enchanted Reef<\/em><\/a>, an animated feature film in 360\u00b0 fulldome projection format makes its Hawaiʻi<\/span> debut<\/a> at the Hōkūlani Imaginarium on Saturday, February 21 at 2 and 3 p.m. <\/p>\n

Viewers are transported deep below the ocean’s surface to an enchanted tropical reef hidden from mankind—Kaluokaʻhina<\/span>. The reef’s colorful inhabitants have always lived in secrecy and peace until a volcanic catastrophe breaks the spell.<\/p>\n

Now it’s up to Jake, a young sawfish and his buddy, Shorty, a lively reef fish to restore the magic of their home. Their only lead is an ancient legend that tells of touching the moon, but how is a fish supposed to touch the moon? The audience travels with Jake and Shorty as they try to unravel the ancient legend and save Kaluokaʻhina<\/span>.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the premiere, there will be a special ocean awareness exhibit with activities for keiki presented by the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Center for Microbial Oceanography Research and Education<\/a> (C-MORE<\/abbr>) at the entrance to the Imaginarium from 1 to 4 p.m. Families can learn about fascinating ocean research and exciting careers in oceanography, ecology and microbiology.<\/p>\n

Call the Hōkūlani Imaginarium at (808) 235-7433 by 4 p.m., Friday, February 20 for early reservations. Seating is limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
