Inspired by an amazing true story "Dolphin Tale" is a film about "Winter", a rescued dolphin who has lost her tail in a crab trap, and Sawyer, the 11-year old boy who helps save her life. Sawyer meets her at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine sanctuary where she lives, and rallies friends and family alike to save Winter by convincing a pioneering doctor to create a brand new tail and by raising enough money to save the sanctuary from closing. "Dolphin Tale" has a great cast including Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr, and Ashley Judd alongside many wonderful animals. But the real star is "Winter", who plays herself in the film, and today serves as a symbol of courage, perseverance and hope to millions of people.

Clearly about water

By IanT2013 (7 reviews) , 16 Feb 2013

Wish I'd seen this film before I visited Clearwater last August :-) A lovely gentle film, suitable for all the family, with good storyline and believable acting. I'd watch it again.

nothing new but children will love it

By Ilovefilmstoo (129 reviews) from Cumbria , 04 Jan 2013

Touching little tale (pun is already used in the title) with predictable relationships and storyline - but watchable and enjoyable nonetheless.
