SYNOPSIS
Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named Winter. But her fight for survival has just begun.
Losing her tail may cost Winter her life. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle—a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help thousands of people around the world.
The real Winter, who plays herself in “Dolphin Tale,” today serves as a symbol of courage and hope to millions of people—especially those facing their own physical challenges—who have been touched by her remarkable story of recovery and rehabilitation.

there is a huge decifrnfe between blu ray and dvd. while they may look identical in terms of the cd and such they are completely different under the hood. A regular dvd can hold 8.5gb of data on two layers. A blu ray disk can hold 50gb on 2 layers. If you have seen hdtv then this is what you are getting with bluray! Movies in high definition. There was another format called hd dvd that was competing with blu ray but toshiba announced today that hd dvd is finished so blu ray is the way forward. I think eventually blu ray will be the norm and yes ina few years i would expect everyone to have a blu ray dvd player but seeing that almost everyone has a regular dvd player that format will not just go away over night. If you have a hd tv though i would highly recommend getting one so you can get the most out of your hd tv
