O Golfinho - A História de Um Sonhador

I thought we found a cute little movie about dolphins. God forgive me. I won't go into exact detail about what I truly think of this movie because if I were to do such a thing I doubt I would be allowed to ever comment again. "ANYWHERE" To be perfectly honest I believe it is really good that I rented this movie from red box. The reason being that red box doesn't give you the cover for me to wipe my ass with. This movie left me with complete and total nausea the entire time. It is complete and total new age dribble. No lesson at all except if you have low expectations that make no sense and aimlessly move a long through life at the very end you will find a life of complete and total selfish aspiration. If it feels as if my review is all over the place, it is because the movie is. Most of the people are right about this. Anyone that gave this movie a positive did so because they did the unthinkable. Not watching the movie themselves and subjected their poor children to the worst God awful movie ever made. Please save your time, money, and toilet bowl. Don't watch this movie. Please. Your kids will thank you!

To sum up my absolute hate for this movie, I created an IMDb account JUST to write a review on this movie. To begin, the only reason I watched this is because I was doped on Tylenol with the flu and needed a movie to pass time. I cannot say enough times how much I dislike the dialog, plot, casting, characters and overall animation.

My seven year old brother and I decided that the producers probably made this movie in a weekend. The dialog doesn't match up with the way their mouths are moving, and every here and there the characters would be talking OUTSIDE of the shot. It's almost more entertaining to make fun of this movie, rather than actually watch it. To be honest, my brother and I thought it was a rip off of Veggie Tales...only with worse musical numbers and animation. By the time the first song started playing, we thought John Denver was singing. Not only that, but someone obviously had to write new lyrics/music because song writers would be ashamed to be apart of this movie.

Lastly, the characters were more poorly depicted than a children's picture book. For example, "Carl The Squid" looked like he escaped from that movie "Chernobyl Diaries"...it's almost scary. Also, the physical features of the fish/dolphin aren't even anatomically correct. For one, porpoise don't even sleep! And the squid's face is backwards. Overall, this movie will actually decrease your child's chances of getting into a good college and most likely scare them away from the ocean.

In summary, if you're religious...FIND A DIFFERENT MOVIE because you will definitely be offended and ashamed you even clicked "play".

This movie is by far the absolute worst movie I have ever seen. the voice of the characters frightened my young cousins and made them cry.

I strongly recommend to every age group to never ever watch this movie!

If I was stranded on a deserted island with only this movie and a terrarium full of scorpions and I was forced to eat the scorpions or watch this movie I'd eat the scorpions without hesitation!

I hope you receive this message and take my word for it.

sincerely,

a terrified viewer

Do N O T watch it.

I sadly, watched the whole movie and I'm still thinking what sort of 3D graphics program they used, so I will never, NEVER, download it. Hottibly done, horrible story, horrible characters. The idea of the movie would be good if it was not so naive. Children will not leave the movie with a "Dream chaser sindrom". They will just eat another popcorn and play a video game. Therefore, I am telling you don't take this DVD home to watch with your kids, because it does not worth it. A poor quality movie in all kinds you can imagine. I still don't know how people find the story good for children if there is lots of movies with the same screenplay that will actually make the children fight for what they believe.

I put this movie on on a whim, primarily on the basis that there have been some halfway decent movies available of late from lesser known studios in the vein of CG animation with a distinct appeal to varied age bands with their primary focus being children. However at this point I distinctly regret this choice.

This movie was an utter abomination, mass produced soulless CGI trash with little respect for children as viewers. It smacks of boardroom meetings, of what would be cheap and easy to churn out and of perceived ideas of what the core essence of children's animating should be. The characters range from the cardboard in the dolphin protagonist, to the extremely annoying in the form of the "comedy relief", and I use that term loosely, the jokes were flat, often crass (of course children like more "rude" humour but even a child can be disgusted with a lack of tact ) The character designs left an immeasurable amount to be desired, often lapsing into utter nightmare fuel in the case of the sunfish character, a design not even intended to be intimidating to children. The plot was limp and directionless and there were several points where the film seemed to be winding down to a natural end only to prolong its death throes by zooming off on another lifeless plot tangent.

In the end, the only thing that's left to be said about this movie is that in a domain like children's movies, this sort of film is a distinct step backwards from the current trend of catering richly to children and adults and going a little further with what they are capable of handling in their viewing, harking back to the older Disney where children were not quite reduced to fart jokes and cheap effortless animation. There is so much more out there to watch, don't waste you or your children's time with this money spinner.
