The perfect way to keep children amused this half term (always a tough one because of the cold and wet February weather) is to get a copy of Dolphin Tale 2 out on DVD and Blu-ray today, Monday 16th February 2015.
Winter, the world’s most extraordinary dolphin returns in the charming and heartwarming sequel to DOLPHIN TALE. This time, Clearwater Marine Aquarium must find Winter a new companion, or risk loosing Winter to another Aquarium forever.
Directed by Charles Martin Smith (Dolphin Tale, Air Bud), DOLPHIN TALE 2 sees return performances from the entire main cast of DOLPHIN TALE led by Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (The Lego Movie, Lucy) as the creator of Winter’s prosthetic tail, Dr. Cameron McCarthy; Harry Connick Jr (Dolphin Tale, Angels Sing) as head of the Clearwater Marine Hospital team, Dr. Clay Haskett; Nathan Gamble (Marley & Me, Beyond The Heavens) as Winter’s owner and trusted companion, Nelson Sawyer; Ashley Judd (Divergent, Olympus Has Fallen) as Sawyer’s mother, Lorraine Nelson; and Kris Kristofferson (San Patricios, 7 Minutes) as Reed Haskett, Dr. Clay’s father.
We were lucky to get an early copy of Dolphin Tale 2 on DVD and live tweeted our thoughts on the film.
If you love animal films then this is one for you. You don’t need to have watched the first film to follow along, I haven’t seen it. It is probably better suited to older children from about ten years old. M, aged seven wasn’t really too keen on the film and it didn’t keep his interest. Whilst I, aged eleven liked the film she said it wasn’t as good as the first film ‘Dolphin Tale’.
It was an emotional roller coaster, I felt quite moved in a few places but it all worked out in the end, thank goodness! They are doing an amazing job at Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Movie nights are great fun and I have been introducing my older two to some of my classic favourites.
So many great classics aren’t there
It looks like we missed the first one. I will have to buy both part, we love dolphins
Enjoy them 😀
How did I not know there was a sequel? I loved the first one x
You’ll have to watch it then! 🙂
Emmy adored the first movie, I bet she would love this too.
I’m sure she would 🙂
My boys are in awe of dolphins at the moment, they would absolutely love this film!
Awww perhaps they can watch it.
Sounds good! I bet my son would love it!
If he likes marine life he will. 🙂
This looks cute, I think my boy would like it 🙂 xxx
If you get it I hope he enjoys it 🙂
I am sure that this is something that the boys will love. I must get it for this half term
I hope they like it
I used to love animal movies as a kid so this one looks good to me! We haven’t seen Dolphin Tale 1 though
You don’t need to have watched the first one, I haven’t seen it either. 🙂
We’ve not watched a Dolphin’s Tale so I may invest in both if these are a good family film, my boy does love an animal film….. there’s going to be tears aren’t there…. (me then, lol)
Errrr, I think there probably will be 😉
We loved Dolphin Tale 2. All of us thoroughly enjoyed watching it and I agree there were some tear jerking moments. I might just have to buy the dvd to watch it again.
Lots of tears… 🙁
I bought Kaycee the first Dolphin Tale for Christmas in 2013 and we still haven’t watched it! I was going to buy her the second one last year but figured we’d make time to watch the first one first in case she didn’t like it!
Yes best you watch the first one as you already have it. The second only came out today. 🙂
Will make sure we stock up on tissues before we watch this – I have terribly leaky eyes when I watch anything animal related!
Yes tissues are definitely needed 🙂
