This movie changed my life as a child. I still wear the necklace that came with the VHS, to this day.

Everyone talking about how the trailer and the poster give away the entire movie, yet so many people enjoyed this movie and watched it over and over because the emotional beats and the story are just that compelling.

Corky and Lolita have been in captivity for over half a century. Lolita is from the Puget Sound Southern Resident orca population, which was decimated by captures in the sixties and seventies. They are now listed as critically endangered. Her mother, Ocean Sun, is estimated to be between eighty and ninety years old. They will probably never be reunited. Corky is a Northern Resident and member of the A-23 pod. Her sister, brother, niece and grand-nephews can still be seen roaming the coastal waters of British Columbia. What different lives they must lead.


Kalina's story breaks my heart. Not only was she separated from her mother, all four of her calves were taken from her. When her fourth calf, Skyla, was moved to another pool and lifted out by a stretcher, Kalina began to ram violently into the gate that separated them. She ended up with severe lacerations on her face. She never saw her daughter again and died within a few short years. They forced her to breed at only six years old. In the wild, orcas typically start calving between thirteen to fourteen years of age. Having a calf at eight years old is unheard of in whale society - at least in the wild.


Kalina isn't the only orca to have been bred too young. Takara was torn from her mother, hauled across the country three times to different SeaWorld parks, treated like a breeding mare and separated from two of her calves.


Kohana (Tilikum and Takara's daughter), Skyla (Tilikum and Kalina's daughter), Tekoa (Tilikum and Taima's son) and Keto (Kalina's son and the orca who killed Alexis Martinez) were torn away from their mothers at young ages and shipped off to Spain. Kohana rejected both of her calves, Skyla is dead, Keto has serious anger issues, Tekoa and Morgan are frequently harassed by the other orcas.

this movie held a spot in my childhood

[castielsstolengrace]

I watched this movie so many times with my grandma. This was my childhood. It's such a powerful film.

[drkmoondrkmoon]

I just watched this movie after soo many years and i began to cry... I love animals and can't help to think how helpless they seem

[geodarnodan]

I remember after i watched this movie as a kid, i imitated the Orca's high pitched voice for non-stop until my father came and slapped me. I'm 38 now.

[Little_Orca_of_Seamania]

This movie was my childhood, probably the very first movie I ever watched. My grandma had it on VHS and remember watching it every time I would go visit her.

[TheGeneticsEnigma]

Can't believe the trailer shows Willy jumping the rocks.

[iamalimelight]

This movie was played on TV a lot, so I saw it in school holidays, the winter ones, or the weekend as well. This was back when the films shown on TV were actually good. 💞💞💞

[tursiopss]

who thought it was a good idea to put the whole movie in the trailer?

[juliaplous]

I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was in preschool. Then The Lion King came out and my life became all about that. But I will never forget my love for this movie.

30 years later it still show how powerful Jesse and willy friendship is

[ConnorLipke]

"nobody steals a whale". Odd, that's exactly how they all ended up in captivity. Stolen, illegally, while killing several in the process. This movie shaped my life as an adult. I'm studying marine biology and have intentions to start a non-profit focused on various ocean causes, whale captivity, shark fishing, and coral reef destruction being a few.

Happy 30th Anniversary to the cast and crew of the greatest adventure of the summer in 1993 and always has been for the past 30 years!! ❤

[WINCHESTER-]

[nzenzur]

The all movie in the trailer, just like these days. I must watch this movie again.

[goddessofsunflowersanddeat]

these movies were my childhood and they will always hold a special place in my heart

I am a girl and I am 14 years old. I was literally in love with this movie and the other two ones when I was little. I even had a necklace that had a killer whale on it and wore it every single day, I also had a hermonica just like Jesse's that he had in the movie. Still to this day I love this movie and it is still one of my favs! This brought back lots of memories from my childhood, from when I was 2-now! ❤️ 🐋
