FREE WILLY : ESCAPE FROM PIRATE’S COVE

This exciting family film is about a baby orca who needs a friend and a girl who finds the courage to help him. After young Kirra leaves her Australian home to summer with her grandfather in South Africa, she soon discovers a baby orca stranded in the lagoon near her grandfather’s rundown seaside amusement park. She names the lonely whale Willy–and embarks on a great quest to lead the little guy back to his anxious pod before her grandfather’s greedy rival turns Willy into a captive, moneymaking attraction at his slick theme park.
