'Dolphin Tale' a film the whole family can enjoy

Based on a remarkable real story, Winter the dolphin has succeeded where many animals have fallen short, successfully stealing the spotlight away from screen stars Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr and Kris Kristofferson.

Found fighting for her life after being caught in the ropes of a crab trap in Florida, the young bottlenose dolphin – who plays herself in the film – was discovered by young boy Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble), who soon calls for medical services.
