Dolphins are highly personable and extremely intelligent creatures. The movie lasted about 45 minutes I think, and during this time the audience gets to know several dolphins and the scientists who are studying them quite well. The action scenes are very well done, and this movie is one of those that is an excellent source of educational learning as well as great enjoyment. I also felt emotional when one of the human characters had to leave his dolphin friend for a four month period, feeling sorry for the dolphin not knowing that he had not been abandoned. The intelligence of dolphins was clearly illustrated in this movie, and created new insight in learning to communicate with other creatures.
Wild dolphins are quite different from tame dolphins.
The movie explains that it is illegal in the United States to swim with wild dolphins, and I am sure this is partly because they are potentially dangerous creatures. Other enjoyable parts of the movie include seeing tame dolphins performing for their caretakers, and there is even a scene of a birth of a baby dolphin. The children and adults both left this movie with a new understanding of the need to protect other creatures in our environment and to make sure that they are treated well. I would love to go and see this movie again. This was one of our more enjoyable field trips, and made for a very pleasant afternoon.
