I absolutely love this movie. It is so upbeat and it's based on a true story. It's the story of a female dolphin that was rescued after being tangled up in fishing line and rope from a crab pot left by fishermen. She suffered blood loss to her tail long enough that they had to amputate her tail fin. While she could swim by moving what was left of her side to side, this was not normal and in time would damage her spine and end result would be that she'd die. A young boy named Sawyer who initially cut her loose from some of the gear she was trapped in gets an idea thanks to his older cousin a returning veteran has to go through rehab for his injuries...he enlists the help of a doctor that develops prosthetic devices for amputees. He makes a prosthetic tail for Winter and after a few trials and errors Winter adapts to her new tail and is able to swim normally. Through it all Winter has become inspiration for veterans and others who have suffered the loss of a limb. It's a very moving story, very upbeat, and makes for truly wonderful family entertainment. I highly recommend this movie. I have watched it several times and it spurred me to purchase Dolphin Tale 2 which is a continuation of this wonderful and heart warming true story.
