4.0 out of 5 stars A Deeper Movie than Most, October 4, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Samson & Sally:Song of Whales [VHS] (VHS Tape)

While this book's cover seems a harmless, sweet and naive story of two friendly whales, it is only half of that. While I am a teen recalling my past movies and stumbling on the first movie that made me cry, I would reccommend this in an instant. For you see, while this movie is touching in deep ways, it teaches both empathy and sensitivity. When I was a kid I had a great sense of the world around me so maybe that's why I wasn't stunned. But I will say this: this is a movie to watch!!!!!!!! While the animation is beautiful and the story depriving yet heart-felt, it is also a well taught lesson of compassion and thinking of others. Very well done.

Just in case you want more of a description of plot:
Samson is a little whale in a big group with a pleasant life and home. However, when man comes and dumps both chemicals and oil into the waters, killing birds and whales, Samson will learn the lesson of destruction. And when man comes with harpoons he will learn how to let go.

But he fights, searching for Moby Dick, the monsterous whale who could scare any human away. However his searches are in vain as he sees that whale knows naught. So the strength will have to come from Sammy himself.

Sort of post apocalyptic, dark movie where people are the worst creatures ever. I don't think it was made for kids. I do not recommend.
