I was born in 1957 so, this movie had a HUGE impact on mine and my siblings first 7 to 10 years of life. I remember laughing and crying and now I'm going to have to share this movie with my own Daughter. I remember feeling happy, sad and happy again. I must revisit this movie and I recommend it to children everywhere. I'm originally from Wisconsin so we didn't see much of the ocean or Marine Life.
