Default Dolphin Tale - Go See It

Dolphins are one of my favorite animals. I saw Dolphin Tale, and I highly recommend it. If you have been to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in the past few years, you probably have seen Winter the dolphin who was rescued at 3 months of age after she beached herself near Cape Canaveral -- her tale was caught in crab trap. The movie tells the story of Winter's rehabilitation and how she bonds with an 11 year old boy who needs a friend. Excellent movie for all ages. Great story for kids 6 and up. Thumbs up.

And if you haven't been to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium it would make a nice day trip from The Villages. They rescue all kinds of marine life and do great work.

Did you see it in 3D? If so, did the 3D effects significantly enhance the presentation?

Yes, we saw it in 3D. I don't know that I would say it "significantly" enhanced the presentation, but we felt it was worth the extra few $$$$'s.

Heard that for this weekend they will lower the price for this movie . . . it'll only cost you a fin to get in. They said it is not an accident as they are setting this price on porpoise.
