Nice to see Bindi Irwin in her first feature film,she was great but still i look forward to when she has more experience. I enjoyed the film so did my 9 year old but it was a tad disppointing as there was no connection to previous 'Free Willy' films and a little slower with less drama. Mums will be slightly disappointed with the aging looks of Beau Bridges though his acting is still great. The props and scenery were superb, nice to see a film made in South Africa and the South Africa actors were a surprise, especially the youngest who stole the show! Don't forget to look out for little Robert Irwin who makes a small contribution. Overall its still worth a watch but don't expect anything like the previous 'Free Willy' films, just enjoy it for what it is, a nice family movie, the littlest kids can enjoy too.
