The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer: DVD: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Review by JAM
The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, and based on Sergio Bambarén’s novel, follows the journey of Daniel, a dolphin who dreams of a better life. Daniel lives in an environment where dreams have died and are forbidden and he yearns for something more.
In this day and age of PG-13 animation that tries to capture the minds of adults as well as children (hoping the jokes go over their head), Daniel is a welcome hero to kids and parents as well. Dreaming of a better world, Daniel goes out to find it rather than just waiting for things to change. And in the process of searching for answers, he actually becomes an inspiration to many and makes a better world by himself.
JAMS Ink on The Dolphin: Story of a Dreamer
The animation is a little stilted, the message is a bit preachy, but overall the movie is a good kids’ movie with good lessons to learn. Always allowing yourself to dream and always being ready to pursue that dream are two lessons that every kid needs to learn, and Daniel learns that himself as he travels the ocean in search of the perfect wave. Along the way he meets many other ocean denizens who learn lessons from him, though he may not realize it at the time. And thank goodness he makes those friends, because they come in handy at the end.
