Dolphin Tale

Inspired by the amazing true story of Winter

Based on a true story, this family-pleaser is about a wild dolphin which sustained a bad injury to its tail. It was brought to an onshore facility where a dedicated team set about rebuilding the tale and rehabilitating the dolphin so that it could return to the wild. The film stars the actual dolphin, and is releasing in both 2D and 3D. This is the 2D version. Take tissues.
