Dolphin Tale
The only time dolphin tails make the news is when one ends up in a tuna sandwich.
Fortunately, the detached appendage in this family movie steered clear of the deli counter.
When a shy, young boy (Nathan Gamble) discovers an injured dolphin in a crab trap, he uses his genial nature to calm the beast and free it from its confines.
The marred mammal is later taken to a refuge, where a doctor (Harry Connick Jr.) removes the damaged extremity.
To get the despondent dolphin to eat after the surgery, the doctor coaxes the coy kid from the beach to help.
Later, the same boy convinces the doctor to allow a prosthetics expert (Morgan Freeman) to construct an artificial tail.
Utilizing science and compassion to overcome loss, this true story tugs the heartstrings while sating medical curiosity.
Now, if only every amputee could be outfitted with a synthetic dolphin tale. (Yellow Light)
