When maladjusted orphan Jesse vandalizes a theme park, he is placed with foster parents and must work at the park to make amends. There he meets Willy, a young Orca whale who has been separated from his family. Sensing kinship, they form a bond and, with the help of kindly whale trainer Rae Lindley, develop a routine of tricks. However, greedy park owner Dial soon catches wind of the duo and makes plans to profit from them.

cinephile-27690 My Grandma loves this movie-animal movies are her cup of tea. I like this fine. I would never put this in my own collection for myself, but it is a good movie. In fact, the sequels are better, personally. There's not much else to say. I don't think it's great, but it's worth seeing.
Minahzur Rahman I remember seeing this, and it was such a wonderful family film. The story was good. It felt realistic too. It felt like a true family film. It's even more good if you're into animals especially whales. The characters were wonderful. The bad guys made this film that extra better. The great thing about Free Willy is that the film gets better and more interesting as it progresses. Really enjoyed the last-half of the film. I think I use to own this on video, but it's a good one to own anyway.
kalnganmarvin I watched this movie before, I'm not sure if during the 90's or early 2000's. It's good. It is very touching. This movie is not just for kids but for the family as a whole. The true meaning of friendship can be seen. We must love animals because they are our friends. Today is year 2018 and I am still watching this movie.Cheers!Sorry for my bad english
Hitchcoc While the plot is quite hackneyed, it's fine that we have movie like this. The news is out on the treatment of Orcas by places like Sea World. These magnificent creatures are kept in tight quarters and made to perform at shows. Willy is one of those whales, and a young boy, who has had a checkered past, and his friend decide it is time to put him back in the open sea. The movie has to do with the logistics of getting this done. As is usually the case, there are some bad people determined to stop this. While it's lightweight and pretty hard to believe, it's a nice movie with a good heart. I'm happy that my children enjoyed this and developed a good attitude about the treatment of animals.
