“Dolphin Tale” Blu-Ray Combo Pack Review

On December 20th, 2011, Warner Brothers Pictures released Dolphin Tale  on DVD and Blu-ray.  Dolphin Tale is inspired by the amazing true story of Winter.  The star cast includes Harry Connick, Jr., Ashley Judd, Kris Kristofferson, and Morgan Freeman.  The Blu-ray combo pack is available for purchase online and in stores, retailing for $35.99.

SYNOPSIS

In an inspirational story of the bond between animals and humans, a boy named Sawyer discovers an injured dolphin, who is brought to a marine hospital and named Winter.  Unfortunately, her injuries cost Winter her tail, without which she may not survive.  But with Sawyer’s devotion, a marine biologist’s (Harry Connick, Jr.) expertise and the brilliance of a prosthetist (Morgan Freeman) charged with creating a new tail, Winter may receive a second chance at life.

MY THOUGHTS

If you are looking for a heartwarming, family-friendly movie, then you’ll definitely want to check out Dolphin Tale on Blu-ray and DVD.  Not only is it a great movie to watch, it also includes some of my favorite actors, including Harry Connick, Jr. and Morgan Freeman.  I love movies where characters face adversity and overcome their challenges, thereby inspiring those around them.  Dolphin Tale is a movie just like that!  A big thanks to Warner Brothers Home Entertainment for making this review possible on The Mommy-Files.
