Synopsis:

Born on a Baja, California beach in 1959, new hatchling Sammy must do what his fellow newborn sea turtles are doing: race across the beach to the ocean before a seagull or crab captures them. Thus begins Sammy’s incredible fifty-year ocean journey. Along the way he meets his best friend, a fellow turtle named Ray, and overcomes obstacles both natural and man-made while trying to fulfill his dream of traveling around the world. Throughout his travels, Sammy never forgets about Shelly – the turtle he saved on his first day and loves passionately from afar. Based on the actual course of a sea turtle’s life, this story of one creature’s breathtaking journey is a thrilling voyage the whole family will enjoy.

My boys and I ended up watching this three times in a row yesterday!! It says it is based on the actual course of a sea turtle's life, which of course I knew nothing about. I thought it was nice to show the kids that. You really feel for this turtle and his long journey. You also get to really thinking about how humans effect sea life. Even with that all aside, the movie is just pretty. I enjoyed watching the the colors. I read that this was in 3D when it was shown on the big screen in the UK. I bet that was awesome, but it was truly wonderful to see in 2D as well.

A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventure DVD is available for the suggested retail price of $19.95. Right now it is available as a preorder on Amazon for 12.99.
