Sandy The Seal ~ 1969 -colour

QUICKIE: Sandy the seal is made a house pet and the coast guard-ish/father is after seal poachers who are after Sandy who is after more fish and girl seals!


PLOT: When a lighthouse keeper takes in a seal in need and gives to his children to look after, the whole family is drawn into the shadowy world of illegal seal poaching. The family then finds themselves leading the fight to rid their coastal town of the criminals and save the seals.


SUMMARY: This is a great movie for kids. They can watch Sandy doing all kinds of tricks just like we're at the circus. The seal poaching story adds suspense and trouble, and there's always the happy ending as the bad guys are busted. In the meanwhile Sandy has a huge playpen built in the backyard for him, entertains the local kids with tricks, and then gets a wife. I guess when you live on the coast, marine life is a better choice for a pet than a cat or a dog? I found the story predictable and boring. But if you're a kid or thrilled by seal tricks then you'll enjoy this movie immensely.
