Dolphin Tale |
|
|
Starring Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick, Jr. & Ashley Judd
A lonely and friendless boy finds and untangles a hurt dolphin that is caught in a crab trap. He becomes very attached to the dolphin when he learns that the tail must be amputated to save its life, and believes the dolphin would be able to swim normally if it was given a prosthetic tail.
Inspired by the amazing true story of Winter, a bottlenose dolphin that was rescued in December 2005 off the Florida coast and taken in by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. It lost its tail after becoming tangled in a rope attached to a crab trap and had to be fitted with a prosthetic one.
The film's ending shows documentary footage from Winter's actual rescue, several of the prosthetic tails that Winter has worn, and scenes from real amputees who have visited Winter at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. The prosthetic manufacturer referenced in the film that builds Winter's mechanical tale, Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics, is the actual company that created the apparatus.
