Die Insel der Delfine

Dolphin Island is a fun, family-friendly film. The photography was quite good and the location was lovely.

Anna's story was touching - orphaned at five years old. And her loving grandfather, Jonah, gave up his career as a history professor at Cambridge to take over her care and run the marine institute her parents had founded. Jonah was quite realistic in that he got angry when provoked and made a couple of poor choices that added conflict to the story. The friendship between Anna and Mitzy, the dolphin, was sweet! I liked watching them swim and play together.

I really appreciated that there was no foul language and that even though they were in a tropical location, there wasn't an overabundance of skin on display. Ana wore a one-piece swimsuit when she was in the water and dressed tastefully and modestly when on land.

While lighthearted for the most part, a conflict brought a somber element that helped balance the rest.

My husband and I both felt that the acting was, at times, a little over the top. Especially at the beginning. Some situations were simply implausible - and not just because the film targeted a younger audience.

Overall, I recommend this for anyone looking for a wholesome film for the whole family to enjoy.

Without giving away too much of the story, I can tell you it has the same overtones as the 1960's TV series, FLIPPER, but updated to modern times. If you are old enough to remember this fun, family- oriented TV series, you know it involved an extraordinarily intelligent dolphin that was "best friends" with two main teenage characters, Sandy and Bud, and he often helped rescue one (or both) from a dangerous situation surrounding the sea. The TV series was entertaining and full of family values. It is the same with DOLPHIN ISLAND. While it may not be the best film I have ever seen, it was good, and I would recommend it for families and/or youth groups. On the website, you can even download a FREE 5-Session DISCUSSION GUIDE to help with group discussions, covering the topics of courage, faith, and forgiveness.

It's a feel good movie with obviou storyline.That's all right.But why this atrocious dialogues.There are at least 30 mins of unnecessary dialogue.Its not a animation movie for kids!! I cringed every time they try to spoonfeed words and sometimes those words doesn't match action and emotion of characters. They could have shown the island more and do some character development.

Dolphin Island is an emotional, inspiring, feel-good movie! It demonstrates the significance of communal friendships and familial bonds. I enjoyed the themes of good vs evil and the power of love, and how it offers a true bonding experience.

This is such a positive and satisfying film. I quickly connected to Jonah Coleridge and his teen granddaughter, Annabel. Their relationship is exceptionally sweet, and though their Dolphin Island houseboat is an unconventional home, it is filled with tenderness, acceptance, and love. The island neighbors are fun and diverse, and Annabel's best friend, a lovable dolphin named Mitzi, might be the dearest Island member of all.

There are so many great characters/actors in this movie. My favorites are:

Jonah Coleridge, played by Peter Woodward (THE PATRIOT) Annabel Coleridge, played by Tyler Jade Nixon (DOLPHIN KICK) Mateo, Annabel's sly, lovable friend, played by Aaron Burrows Mr. Carbunkle, the easy-to-dislike lawyer played by Bob Bledsoe (PARKS AND RECREATION)

I enjoyed every aspect of this tale. It made me giggle, cry, grimace, and sigh, but ultimately left me beaming. Dolphin Island a clean, meaningful, and soul-stirring film suitable for the entire family.

Perfect movie to get your mind off of your troubles. True it is temporary but still it is better than nothing. Last year was crazy and we all can use a break even if it is for an hour and a half.

"Dolphin Island" is about a 14 year old who lives with her grandfather who is a fisherman. Challenges occur when her grandmother on her mom's side wants to take her. Guess who becomes her friend? Mitzy, a dolphin.

Full of family values that you will want to share. Totally would suggest this movie be in your watch list.
