In a coastal Maine town, Harry Whitney (Keith Carradine) and his family of animal enthusiasts nurse an ailing seal back to health. All of the Whitneys care deeply for Andre, the abandoned seal, but Harry's young daughter Toni (Tina Majorino) grows particularly close to the animal. Unfortunately, as Andre grows healthy again, his playful antics begin to infuriate the fishermen of the town, and the Whitneys became a target of ridicule. However, Toni and her family stand by their friend.

It's as wholesome as white, sliced bread with added preservative, but somewhat offensive in the way the seal is turned into a performer.

Obviously playing off the popularity of movies like Free Willy, this film is waaaay less fun and iconic, opting for a goopy sentimentality that feels instantly forgettable.

3.5/5

The photogenic, agile seals, in fact, steal the show from the biped actors, including even veteran David Carradine.
