Dolphin Tale

New film that opens in the UK on 14th October 2011 that looks good and it's a true story:

"When a young dolphin gets caught in a crab trap, introverted 11-year-old Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble) rescues her. But there's a problem. The dolphin has severely damaged her tail. Taken to the Clearwater Marine Hospital run by Dr Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr), her prognosis is bleak. But Sawyer is not prepared to give up on his new friend so easily. He presents Dr Ken McCarthy (Morgan Freeman) with the challenge of creating a pioneering prosthetic attachment for the dolphin, now named Winter, which will restore her ability to swim. Featuring stunning 3D underwater footage, 'Dolphin Tale' co-stars Ashley Judd as Sawyer's single mother Lorraine, and veteran Kris Kristoffersen as Dr Haskett's father, Reed. It was filmed in part at the real Clearwater Marine Hospital, where Winter the dolphin was cast as herself !"

Thanks for posting that one Doogs. The trailers looks really good and one I will be watching. Was a bit choked for the poor baby dolphin in real life, I wonder what happened with the dolphin they used in the film.
