Uhhhh...Why?


Seriously, why? Does the Free Willy franchise really need to start up again after 13 years? no, I dont think so.

Especially when this film doens't involve the actual orca who played Willy or Jason James Richter who played Jesse. This is a horrible idea.

Its because they wanted a vehicle for BINDI IRWIN and when they thought of a whale story they decided to called it FREE WILLY so the orginal makers of FREE WILLY didn't sue them for copywrite, so they got them on board.
I think it will sink faster than a boat with a hole in it to be honest.Bindi CANNOT act to save her life.

I was thinking the same thing

back in 98 I did a titty comedy for Skinemax. Sex Camp, ya remember it?

In case some of you still might not know but Willy aka KEIKO died a few years back due to severe case of pneumonia!

I even cried when I heard about it! I grew up watching Willy's movies and even watch them from time to time!
It was one of my all time favorite movies ever made!

In any case, I'll watch this movie to see what kind of movie this came out to be!

Also, I'm sugesting that you also see the movie: "The Cove" 2009... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1313104/

I must say that it isn't for the weak of heart!
It's about the REAL situation of wildlife enclosed in marine show parks and how they are captured!


Vando!

I dont see the big problem with the fact it doesnt start Keiko...the other two movies didnt star keiko it was a robot. Keiko only starred in the first one.

The monks been at the mushrooms! FIRE IT!

Keiko only starred in the first movie. After Free Willy, he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility to prepare him for release to the wild. He later died from pneumonia. The last two movies used stock footage and animatronics for Willy.

i heard that they used some footage they shot from the first movie of keiko and translated those making it look like he played willy. i don't know if thats true. i could be wrong. but this is what i heard.

Because it's a sounding board for Bindi Irwin's first feature film.

Willy is such a prick im so sick of his sh*t.

I regret the name they gave this whale and the previous whale before, couldn't they had stick with using the whale's real-life name, Keiko? As for this kiddy film, not exactly the idae I would have gone with.
