Dolphin Boy.

Raised by dolphins, a boy ventures onto land to discover where he belongs.

A young dolphin rescues a baby after a plane crashes into the sea, and the two grow up as brothers. Their underwater life changes when a dangerous octopus takes control and the boy is forced ashore. Help from a sea captain gives him a chance to investigate his human origins while staying connected to the ocean family that raised him.

Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

The official US PG rating cites peril, thematic elements and some violence. The opening involves a plane crash and an infant in danger; separation, uncertain parentage and threats from a villainous sea creature continue through the story. Expect chases, fights and frightening underwater encounters that may unsettle younger children.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
