jeanmcinnis Great story ruin by not using the right seal and its a family's and new england aquarium story True stories should use the true seal and location Maine is cheaper than the west coast. Go to rock port Maine and see the harbor where he lived and died. Also to his weather home at the new england aquarium is a story all its self and his trip north harbor by harbor is one of a kind story ruined by cheap Hollywood.I say get a new writers for the true Andre story harbor seal and all and not one little girl but 3. The father who loved him and went swimming with him and he played best man at his wedding. The acting was good but the story was lost in the bad screen play

lorenellroy Andre is a seal , adopted by the family of Harry Whitley the local harbourmaster (Keith Carradine),and a particular favourite of his tomboy 7 year old daughter,Toni (played by Tina Majorina).Seal and child become inseparable but trouble is brewing when the local fishermen blame the animal for damaging their nets ,thus putting their livelihood in jeopardy.They set out to kill him and Toni puts out to sea,in the middle of a raging storm ,to try and save Andre from the fate they have in store for him. Its all very predictable and manipulative not helped by wooden acting and an animal I personally found very resistable .However it will be enjoyed by animal lovers and is suitable for those seeking fare they can watch as a family unit without fear of violence or profanity.Not my scene but reasonable of its type

soranno Obviously inspired by "Free Willy", "Andre" is a just as bad, if not worse tale of a little girl (Tina Majorino) and the strong bond of friendship that she forms with a seal named Andre. All goes perfectly well with both of them for a while until the girl's father (Keith Carradine) decides he wants to interfere with their happiness. It's syrupy and predictable with not the slightest bit of originality. Yet another inferior film in the tired "kids and animals friendship" genre.

friedshrimp-2 This movie takes place in an older date about a sea animal that needs taken care of, and a family keeps it and has fun with it while some others don't like it. Some parts are good, and some of it is a little boring. This is a movie for the whole family to enjoy usually!
