Proteus is an animated documentary film written and directed by David Lebrun in 2004.[1] It depicts a 19th-century understanding of the sea by interweaving the life and work of German biologist and researcher Ernst Haeckel with excerpts from Samuel Taylor Coleridge's epic poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, and the story of the oceanographic Challenger expedition of the 1870s.[2]
