Dolphin Tale 1 Inspired by the amazing true story, Dolphin Tale is a family film about Winter, a young dolphin who loses her tail in a crab trap, and Sawyer, the introverted 11-year old boy who befriends her. First meeting the rescued dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine rehabilitation center where she lives, Sawyer (Nathan Gamble) rallies his friends and family alike to save Winter by convincing a pioneering doctor (Academy Award® winner Morgan Freeman) to create a unique prosthetic attachment to restore the dolphin's ability to swim. Directed by actor/filmmaker Charles Martin Smith (Never Cry Wolf), this inspirational family drama from the producers of The Blind Side also stars Harry Connick, Jr. as the marine biologist who rescues the dolphin, Ashley Judd as the boy's mother and Winter, the dolphin, who plays herself in the movie! Dolphin Tale 2 “Dolphin Tale 2" continues the story of the brave dolphin Winter, whose miraculous rescue and recovery—thanks to a groundbreaking prosthetic tail—made her a symbol of hope and perseverance to people around the world and inspired the 2011 hit movie “Dolphin Tale." It has been several years since young Sawyer Nelson and the dedicated team at the Clearwater Marine Hospital, headed by Dr. Clay Haskett, rescued Winter. Yet their fight is not over. Winter’s surrogate mother, the very elderly dolphin Panama, has passed away, leaving Winter without the only poolmate she has ever known. However, the loss of Panama may have even greater repercussions for Winter, who, according to USDA regulations, cannot be housed alone, as dolphins’ social behavior requires them to be paired with other dolphins. Time is running out to find a companion for her before the team at Clearwater loses their beloved Winter to another aquarium. Only the best buy direct from GRUV
