Dolphin Tale is one of my absolute favorite movies. I love dolphins, and have loved them my whole life. Dolphin Tale is about a young dolphin who got stuck in a fishing trap; the dolphin washed up on shore where an older man found her. She was rescued and brought to Clear Water Marine Aquarium where they healed her, and named her Winter. Unfortunately because of the lack of circulation to her tail, it became injured. Her tail had to be taken off for her to survive. After that she was unable to swim, and needed constant attention. Sawyer, the boy who helped her when she was on the beach, was Winter’s best friend. He would skip summer school everyday to go to the aquarium. Soon Winter learned how to swim, but since she didn’t have a tail she swam by moving her tail side to side. That caused damage in her spine, so their thought was to make an artificial tail for her. My favorite parts in the movie are when Winter, Sawyer, and Hazel are swimming and floating in the water. Even though Winter is a dolphin she has a floaty to float on. Some of my other favorite parts are when she trys on all the tails, and the ending carnival. Hazel and Sawyer organize a carnival and see Winter day to raise money for the bankrupt aquarium. People come from all over to see Winter which raises enough money. Winter is my favorite character, but Roofus is also really cool. I think this movie is a great movie, and I would strongly recommend watching it. The movie is very motivational in my opinion. Ever since I watched that movie it was a dream of mine to see Winter in person, and when I went to Florida I got to see her. When we got there I saw her right away, but then they put her in a different pool, and brought out Hope, which was still cool, but I wanted to see more of Winter.
