Interesting image. I am not a movie goer so no opinion otherwise.

Same as BC

You would have had to seen it to get it. Thanks.

Splash?

Good guess, Joel. On the right track, no mermaids...

You won't get this unless you have seen the movie. Even then, maybe not.

Dolphin Tale?
Flipper?

Oceania?

Dolphin is correct. There are dolphins in the movie. However, if you haven't seen it, there is no way you can guess.

I'm going off-track with "Any Given Sunday". Though I've never seen it Google tells me it's about the Miami Dolphins.

Nope. Good try, Mary Jeanne. Only someone who actually saw the movie will get it. Dolphins are kind of the chorus in a Greek-type tragedy (sort of).

You just gave it away. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the dolphins said "So Long, and Thanks For All the Fish" which was the title of the 4th book in the 'trilogy')

Kristen, CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are the GRAND PRIZE WINNER of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!

My kids watched it incessantly. I didn't care for it initially, and it got worse over time.

Here's a clip from the movie:

The book is much better, of course. Douglas Adams is one of my favorite authors.

Fun puzzle, King. Thanks for the link.

Here's a comment I read on the YouTube link:

The dolphins will be leaving on 21st December 2012 - the Mayan end of the world - which is exactly 4242 days after Douglas Adams left on 11th May 2001, the day he supposedly died. (Meanwhile, 4242 is 42 times 101, which is the 26th prime number, and 26 is the number of dimensions in Bosonic String Theory, or the number of Sporadic Groups in Abstract Algebra. It's also the number of letters in the alphabet, and the number of cubes in Rubik's Cube. This is really deep!)

:-)

Thanks Teresa. You did give me a slight headache with the numerology.

Kristen, you think that clue gave it away? You are probably the only person that has seen the movie...

There may be more on site (I was just the first to comment), but I had to see the the movie adaptation of one of my favorite books. I'd already read the original radio transcripts and seen the old BBC show, so this was another media iteration.

Until I read the answer, I was going with Day of the Dolphin, with the farewell scene: "Pa loves Fa", etc.

The book(s) is (are) immensely better than any movie rendition. Even though the books are smallish, you can't fit the story, and the absurdity, into a two-hour (and change?) film.
