Shark E. Shark in "Which Way To The Ocean?

The short follows a baby shark that is accidentally launched from Garmadon's shark cannon and lands far from the sea. Struggling with oversized surroundings and a string of absurd obstacles, the shark moves through brick-built landscapes, meets odd allies and confused bystanders, and keeps angling toward where the water should be. The story unfolds through quick visual gags and mostly wordless moments, leaning on physical comedy and clear staging rather than dialogue. The animation mirrors the clean, schematic look of LEGO instruction booklets, using simple motion and bold framing to make each mishap read clearly, and it has a light, energetic tone about persistence and getting home.

Released in 2017, the animated short was directed by Todd Hansen and Doug Nicholas, and it adopts the look of LEGO instruction artwork rather than traditional character animation, presenting its gags in schematic, graphic frames rather than detailed textures overall.

No wide theatrical release or box office data is available for this short film. At around under five minutes runtime, it's more a festival and online piece than a commercial feature, so traditional revenue figures were not reported publicly available.

The short's schematic LEGO-style visuals and slapstick tone made it noticeable among fans of brick-based animation, and it served as a neat example for creators interested in minimalist, instruction-like storytelling. Its wordless physical comedy highlights how much can be conveyed with simple framing and clear motion, and an enduring charm.

Reception was mixed, seen in a low user score near 4.0 out of 10 from a handful of votes, with some viewers liking the inventive LEGO-like look while others found the runtime too short and the narrative thin. Themes focus on visual humor, persistence, and the urge to return home.
