Sandy dislikes everything about his new environment until a new friend comes into his life, a dolphin named Flipper, that brings uncle and nephew together and leads Sandy on the summer adventure of a lifetime., Adaptation of the ’60s TV series about the bond formed between a boy and a dolphin., That lightning fast, super-smart, mammalian king of the wonderful undersea world of the Florida Keys that delighted young baby-boomers during the ’60s returns with a few twists. The half-hour weekly series that ran from 1964-68, could very well have been titled “Sea-Lassie” for it’s basic premise was the same as the older show in that it focused on the special relationship between a boy and his devoted pet, in this case a dolphin instead of a collie that every week saved the lad from danger. Originally the series featured a single dad, Ranger Porter Ricks (Paul Hogan), and his two boys Sandy and the much younger Bud, as they tried to keep the Florida Keys clean, safe and free of evil-doers. Flipper was the wild dolphin who befriended them after Sandy saved his life. With nothing but love to keep him, Flipper hangs around to play with the boys and protect them. The film changes certain facts, but remains true to the spirit of the series. This time Porter Ricks is an aging hippie fisherman/beachbum. Sandy (Elijah Wood) is his nephew, an angry Chicago teen sent to Ricks’ ramshackle shack on Corral Key following his parents divorce. Sullen and bored, Sandy hates the island even though a pretty young girl lives nearby. He meets Flipper while boating with his uncle. Dropping his guard long-enough to enjoy the sight of two dolphins merrily frolicking in the waves, his delight turns to horror when a big bad charter boat fisherman begins shooting at the bottlenoses. Without a thought, Sandy saves the life of one of the imperiled creatures and for his courage earns the dolphin’s undying devotion. It follows him back to the beach and Sandy names it Flipper. The adventure part comes in when Sandy and his new pals discover that someone is polluting the Keys with toxic waste. With Flipper’s help, they manage to stop them, but not before facing considerable danger first. The underwater cinematography is exceptional. Three live-dolphins and a realistic animatronic model were used to portray Flipper.
