Flipper

Flipper, also known as The New Adventure of Flipper, is a 1995 television series and a remake of a 1964 iconic show of the same name. You know that super smart dolphin? They called him Flipper, Flipper? He's faster than lightning?! No one, you see, is smarter than he?! It's been thirty years since he was like Lassie but underwater, It's the nineties now and things have changed. For example Keith "Bud" Ricks, the freckled face kid in the original, well he's all grown up and a marine scientist himself, still working with dolphins. One in particular is named Flipper for his childhood animal friend. But just like before the ocean can be a dangerous place to be with poachers, pirates, sharks, and hurricanes. That's too much for one smart dolphin to handle! Aided by Dr. Ricks, the newly arrived Dr. Pam Blondell and her young son Mike, Flipper will once again save the day and warm your heart. It's a more modern spin on a television classic. Be sure to look for a very young Jessica Alba in the first two seasons playing Maya, an island girl. MORE
