An exhilarating drama of boy and nature that unabashedly pulls at the heart strings.

Free Willy
Family film classic, follows a bright-eyed boy and his friendship with a killer whale (because every kid knows that having a trained killer whale would be the most awesome thing ever until they watch Blackfish). He risks everything to free the massive mammal after learning he's to be killed by the aquarium owners (not Seaworld).

Has a kind of gentle sweetness that I found very appealing. It is about change - about a young boy discovering himself - and about adventure.
