    Great film! Great for the family!

    I LOVED watching this with my daughter! We are both fans of dolphins and we loved watching the story. My daughter learned a lot that she never knew before.This is a great family film and I look forward to watching it again!

    It's an okay movie..

    I would say this movie isn't the best disneynature movie because it seems to not really focus on the dolphins as much as I thought. Also, it is kind of confusing to me that they have a Disney plus exclusive Disney nature movie because I feel like you should be able to get them on DVD but that's just me. Anyways, I would say the movie is okay if you want excellent photography focused mainly on the reef, so 8/10.

    Why does Disney make nature films into animation test films?

    Well... it was somewhat entertaining and had decent cinematography. Unfortunately, how can this compete against any David Attenborough BBC series? Plus, after seeing a handful, it's clear that all Disney does is get some pretty good footage and then add anthropomorphic sound effects and manipulative narration and editing to create a story similar to any generic Disney animate film (not Pixar). It's not a bad watch, but no need to spend your time.

    Excellent a must see

    Great family movie. Story line camera footage and narration all very professional and most importantly entertaining.

    I can't even begin to imagine who had the courage to get this al on tape. It must have been terrifying and breathtaking all at once. Such vivid enabling footage you can't stop yourself from being astonished.

    I felt like at one point in life I too was Echo. The Ocean Kingdom is so relatable and now all I want to do is get up and clean the ocean. What a work of Art, thank you Disney
