An incredible film starring a killer whale. The first time I saw it (I couldn't have been more than seven) I was thrilled. Now I just remember those times.

A film that really plays a lot on the viewer's emotions, but surprisingly successfully avoids all the typical family clichés, and it’s also not a bad idea to remember Willy's adventures again sometime; if only for the pleasant feeling when in the end he makes that mighty leap towards freedom – who wouldn’t feel soft after that?
