Flipper (1996 film)

Flipper is a 1996 American adventure film remake of the 1963 film of the same title (which in turn began a TV series that ran from 1964 to 1967), starring Paul Hogan and Elijah Wood. The film is about a boy who has to spend the summer with his uncle, who lives on the Florida Gold Coast. Although he expects to have another boring summer, he encounters a dolphin whom he names Flipper and with whom he forms a friendship.
The film is unrelated to the 1995-2000 TV series of the same title that was also a remake of the 1963 film and TV series. Instead of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, a production company for the Flipper franchise, this film is distributed by Universal Pictures.
