If you loved Operation Dumbo Drop, try Free Willy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Simon Wincer, and they both carry the cozy, uplifting mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Operation Dumbo Drop, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Free Willy is

Oregon coast, summer, a graffiti-tagged wall. A troubled boy and a captive orca whale form a bond over tricks and trust. Simon Wincer directs a film that will leave you rooting for the underdog.
