Turtle hatchling barely survives his first day on the beach. He meets another turtle in the ocean and they spend their "childhood" floating around on a raft. They have numerous problems with humans, however, including a nasty oil spill and trawler nets, which eventually separate them. Sammy gets saved by some environmentalist hippies in the late 60s who keep him as a pet while living on a California beach. When that ends, he is back in the ocean and begins searching for a childhood "sweetheart" he remembers from his first day on the beach. Against all odds he finds her, and they travel some more, this time searching for a secret passage to a colder, friendlier ocean away from humans. More misadventures follow. Entertaining enough animated feature with environmental message that did not get in my way.
