Whole movie is well shot and locations for shootings are very suitable and good selected. This time we can see whales in their natural habitat, not in the small pool. The story is basically good written and leaves some place for action and excellent scenes in the cove, including underwater shots. Elvis, who has lost his mother, also feel himself very uneasy about the situation and now both boys have to decide how to deal with this difficult situation. The other problem point of the movie is rather difficult and complicated relation between Jesse and his much younger stepbrother, Elvis (played by Francis Capra). And in the real life the main reasons of the monstrous disaster was absolutely same money. It was a real message and it passed absolutely unnoticed because for many people these movies are just cheesy movies for kids only. The movie was released in 1995, eight years before notorious tanker 'Prestege' shipwrecked near Spanish coast and ruined hundred of miles of coastline, not to mention that millions living creatures got killed in the result. Willy found his family and all seems perfect for the friends but suddenly another danger threatens their friendship. The whole family goes to the holiday trip in a camping near an ocean's cove where Jesse again meets his friend Randolph and Willy. Elvis hasn't got any relatives except Jesse and he arrives to Greenwood's home. Our main hero, Jesse is now fourteen years old and he finds out that his mother passed away and he has a stepbrother named Elvis. For some reasons Simon Wincer, who directed the first movie didn't return for making this sequel, though we can see again all major characters from Free Willy. I suppose it is one of the best family movie and best animal movie so far. Reviewed by Juni78ukr 8 /10 Pretty good and quite underrated sequel.įirst of all, I have to say what I liked original Free Willy movie.
