DOLPHIN TALE, PG ( 1 hr & 52 min )


Quickie Review:  A young female dolphin gets badly entangled to a crab-trap.  She is rescued and taken to a marine animal hospital in Clearwater, Florida.  Unfortunately,  her tail could not be saved.  But with the patient care and dedication of a few kind souls pledged to help the poor dolphin through its life-threatening ordeal, the dolphin, named Winter, gets a second chance at life when she is fitted with a revolutionary new tail prosthesis.  Soon, she becomes the symbol of  hope and courage for people with disabilities and the symbol of  hope, as well,  for badly-maimed marine animals that would otherwise be euthanized.

I liked this movie.  The audience, too, liked this movie; so much so that people in the audience gave it a "Hands Clapper" ending.

This movie comes with Bonus Scenes at the End.

What I didn't like about this movie:   As much as a "Feel-Good" movie this one is, I was saddened to see that someone in the audience, a young girl, was in a wheelchair.  And the movie also shows people who are amputees, especially war veterans.  I really, truly felt sad for all of them.  I could only pray for them and ask God to watch over them and bless them.

If  you're able-bodied, thank God and count your blessings.
