Free Willy 1-3

Being a whale and dolphin lover and also a marine life artist, I purchased this set because I've never seen any of them. However, I've always wondered about them. I guess I never put it into much thought since I didn't grow to love these animals until I started to grow up. Now since I watched the first film the love has grown even more. This is a good deal too. 3 movies for about 5 bucks is all I paid-plus the extra shipping which is 3.00. Not bad at all for an excellent set of movies!I wanted this movie because of the name and the story I heard about it. I was so pleased, but also shocked at the reality of what's really happening with these animals in captivity. They really don't belong in marine parks and shows. It is a jail for them. Even if you treat them right, they are suffering. How do you know they're happy? Do they tell you that? NO! They can't even speak for themselves so we must speak for them. Putting them into these tanks is mistreatment of animals. You may think it's big, but really it isn't. They need the huge vast ocean. Nothing can be bigger than that. Now all they can do is swim in circles. Like putting a goldfish in a teacup. Putting them in these tanks with hundreds or thousands of screaming people in a surrounding stadium hurts and disturbs them. They have very sensitive hearing. It messes up their sonar just like being contained in a small space they're put in. They are taken away from their home, their families(they're very social animals like us), their life in the ocean which is their natural environment. Now they are forced to do nothing but perform tricks for human entertainment for profits. I think we humans are pretty greedy and selfish. If they do a trick, they get fed. If they refuse to do the trick, no fish. Do they have a choice? Now they are forced to live unnaturally the rest of their lives. They must open their mouth to have a dead fish tossed in their mouth. This has become the daily routine. In the natural ocean, they hunt and forge for their food which is not dead but live. This is the natural (real) way that nature intended.Now I see the reality. We underestimate these beautiful, intelligent creatures. In captivity they get aggitated. I can understand why. Recently a trainer at SeaWorld was killed by an Orca. I feel sympathy and great sadness on the families part but really, have we looked at the whales point of view? Once a man was found dead draped over the back of the same Orca who killed the trainer. People blame the whale for killing that man. But no one saw what really happened. How do we know the truth? I don't think we should assume anything without the proof. Maybe the man just fell in-just like the kid did in the first movie. The man probably drown and the whale tried to save him. It is possible. Or the whale is just angry of being cooped up in this prison.I think we should all think this through more. We should all watch this film and learn something from it. Learn our own mistake done by human hands. These animals deserve better treatment. To be free in the ocean and live the life they were born to live-like God intended. Not some amusement park attraction. I'd rather pay to go on a boat way out to open sea, and see the whales in the real ocean instead. I am boycotting all marine parks/shows after seeing this film. When I heard that whale cry in this movie, I was in tears. It really changed me.A very moving film that touched my heart and I hope others will feel the same way I do. We should all have a heart. It is the human and right thing to do. Excellent movie. I'm still in tears for the whales in this world suffering in captivity. May God have mercy on them all.

I just recently bought these movies although I have always been a big fan of the first two since I was a little kid. My little sister who is 13 had never seen any of them and we sat and watched all three back to back. I love them and now she does too. I am also very happy that Michael Jackson's videos "Will you be there" and "Childhood" are both features as extras on this three pack. I love the movies and the songs so it was a win win for me. I would highly recommend this three pack for anyone who enjoys good family movies.

I have to say that my 8 yr old LOVES all of the Free Willy movies and he started viewing them years ago on the VHS tapes. Finding the DVDs was next to impossible and I was only able to find the 1st one for Christmas. I went on Amazon just to see and that's where I found the collection! I was so thrilled and when we received it, I was even happier. It's in a nice and neat box where he can keep them safe and watch them whenever! I am very pleased with my purchase. Thank you Amazon!

I love all the Free Willy movies. I was a little disappointed because on Free Willy 1...it kept stopping at a certain point and would not go any farther....but Free Willy 2 & 3 were great.

I love these movies. The first one is soooooo good and was the only one that used a real whale for all the scenes. And Jesse is great.

I haven't watched this since I bought the videos. For the lady who gave it one star because she thought she only got two movie -- the second movie is on the flip side of the first. I'm almost 75 and I was in tears as "Willy" jumped his way to freedom again.

the movies are great skipped a lil bit but played great im glad the money went towards a good cause

I like it movies
