Loved it! Great movie to teach kids, and remind adults, of the importance to care for our planet and the ocean.

LOVE this movie!!!
Verified purchase
My kids LOVE this movie and frankly it's done well enough that I actually don't mind repetitive viewings.

There are people saying this is a no go of a film for sensitive kids. My 5 yo is VERY sensitive, but all we needed to do was pause the movie and talk about it a little and then it was fine. There is peril in the ocean for many critters and I think this movie handles it well for the younger set. We opted for this over Nemo because I knew my kids would have nightmares about the big grinning shark (sharks in Turtle Tale were a little scary but not as bad as Nemo or Reef).

To the people saying that this film is trying to indoctrinate kids about evil humans and Green Peace...remember that this movie is told in flashback from the viewpoint of a 50 year old turtle. He isn't throwing propaganda, he's simply remembering the details of his experience through the decades when many of us humans used to think nothing of dumping all manner of stuff in the ocean and other groups of us were fairly militant about protecting our natural resources. It's Sammy turtle's life experience and history through his eyes. And it's not a bad thing to show our kids the mistakes we've made with our planet and help them see te benefit of trying to keep it clean.

Super adorable kids movie!
Verified purchase
We love this movie! My son has watched it 100 times he repeat all the words to it. I love this movie from a parent perspective. I feel like it's got some great aspects to it. Relationships and environmental care. The oil spill was something we were able to talk about and research further. He learned a lot about recycling and how to keep our environment clean so that the next generation can enjoy the beauty our earth has to offer. We talk about friendships and even though people leave you stay friends and can reunite. This isn't one of those annoying kids movie either I enjoy watching it with my kids and talking to them about different parts of the movie. The music in it is great too I really enjoy all the songs and we sing them regularly. If you are thinking of purchasing this movie for you and your family you should do it. You won't be sorry it's really adorable!

Great soundtrack
Verified purchase
My entire family loves this movie. I had never heard of it until we saw it on Amazon. We watch and listen to the soundtrack so often I had to get it for a friend's family. I highly recommend this movie for a family movie night (esp if your kids are young and love sea life).

No good for sensitive young kids
Verified purchase
Anyone with sensitive young children, this is a major no-go. I saw the long list of positive reviews saying this was a great movie for very young children, so I rented it to watch with my 3 and 5 year olds. The opening scene with the sea gull had both of them in instant tears. By the time it got to the descending view of whirling sharks two scenes later my 5-year-old was screaming and I had to shut the movie off. From start to finish, it is almost non-step peril. One scare after another, and way too much for any sensitive, easily frightened young child to handle. Never mind that the pivotal scene at the end of the movie is when Sammy goes to find Shelly in a veritable love boat with turtle couples canoodling around every corner. The danger and the subject matter are a wee bit over the heads of the age group everyone seems to think this is appropriate for. As an adult I found it entertaining, and older grade school children would too, but I found it way inappropriate for my two under 5.

Scratched

At first I ordered the regular dvd it showed up scratched so badly we couldn’t even watch it. It’s my oldest favorite movie so I reordered it on blue ray and it is amazing no problems at all
