Product Description: A 12 YEAR OLD STREET KID. A 3 TON KILLER WHALE. A FRIENDSHIP YOUCOULD NEVER IMAGINE. AN ADVENTURE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET.
Amazon.com: Some of us will never understand why this boy-and-his-whale tale became the hit family film of 1993 and one of the bestselling videos of all time. But it is easy to see how clever marketing and a tear-jerking story could touch the hearts of kids and parents the world over, especially because the endangered Orca whale named Willy is such a majestic creature. The story couldn't be more conventional--it's like Old Yeller and The Black Stallion with a big sea mammal--but as the boy who comes to Willy's aid against the whale's exploitative owner, young Jason James Richter gives an appealing performance with which children can readily identify. After two sequels and an animated television series, this popular film also had a happy real-life ending: Keiko the whale (who plays Willy) recovered from failing health and was gradually trained to survive outside of captivity. --Jeff Shannon

Rating: - Free Willy
Free Willy is a great movie. There is a lot of action thru the whole movie and it's very touching but a little bit sad at times. It's a good family oriented movie and would recommend it to anyone.

My daughter loves the film. Will be looking to purchase part 2 & 3 soon. Great family movie.

What a wonderful family movie. My 9 yr. old daughter loves animals and this movie is a favorite of hers. Her favorite part is when Free Willy is let go to his real home.

I will never find him watching this movie, so this movie may not be for your sensitive child. It is still a wonderful family movie where no one has to worry about what's ... Read More
Rating: - D+
While it's not a good film,it's also not a bad film.I do like the message of no one should be held against their will and no animal should ever be treated badly but it's still a rehash of previous films about a boy bonding with an animal.I totally hate the scene where Willy jumps over the boy on a bed of rocks.If he could jump that high,why could'nt he jump over the low net blocking his path instead? I also hate Willy's calling for his family.it sounds like Curly Joe getting kick in the you-know-what.The ... Read More

No complaints at all. Ordered this movie on a whim after I mentioned it in a conversation and my husband informed me he had never seen it. DVD arrived in perfect condition and played beautifully.
