With any lower-budget, direct to video family film, you really don't go beyond a certain level of filmmaking quality, and this is the case with this movie.

Rated: 2.5/5

Perhaps the feature isn't an overwhelming display of scholastic integrity, but the little ideas add up here and there, hopefully instilling younger viewers with an appreciation for animal behavior.

Rated: B-

It's hard to beat a little girl and a killer whale in any movie.

At this point, we must assume Willy either loves captivity or he's an attention seeking whore.

It reuses plot elements behind passable performances, but it still takes full advantage of bindi's adorable passion for wildlife in cheerful spirit.

A young girl is sent to stay with her grandfather who runs a run down seaside amusement park in South Africa when a small orca whale shows up in their lagoon after being separated from its pod. Bindi Irwin plays the young girl and Beau Bridges plays her grandfather. Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from this movie, a sweet feel good family film.
