A dolphin gets injured by a crab trap and ends up losing her tail.
This is a feel good movie. It makes you happy. You like the people here and you root for the dolphin. Yes, you know what is going to happen, but that does not lessen the impact of the happy ending. It warms your heart to see all the people who rally around Winter, the dolphin, and all the people she inspires. (Winter plays herself in the movie so you get to see her in the film. Which is cool.) The movie is also a coming of age tale for the boy who helped to save Winter. He finds something to believe in and to fight for, and helping Winter helps him find someplace he belongs. There is a long scene with a remote control helicopter that annoyed me because it was pointless and impossible and went on for far too long and felt like filler to bulk up the movie. But that is my only complaint. The acting was good, the story was heartwarming and it is very family friendly, there aren't even any villains in this. A great movie to watch with kids who like animals.
Winter's surrogate mother dies and leaves Winter's future uncertain.
This is another feel good movie about the dolphin, Winter. This time around her surrogate mother dies leaving Winter alone. But there is a rule that you can not keep a dolphin in a tank alone, they need a companion. So how can they keep Winter without another dolphin? There is still a feeling of people banding together to help Winter in this movie but there is also a feeling of menace with the looming inspectors and the looming buyer as money runs out. And there are some life lessons too as the children are growing up and have to make big decisions and have to choose between doing the responsible thing and what their heart wants them to do. It is a good, solid, family friendly movie that adults can enjoy as well. If you like the first movie you will like this one too.
