Goofs:
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Andre the seal was played by a sea lion but it was acting, and playing the part of a seal for the movie - it's a Hollywood thing.

It was only when I saw the credits, I then understand it's based on a true story. It made me smile even more.
So I guessed I knew why I saw this few days back for a reason. The trailers had won me over and when I saw the movie itself, it was just so heart-warming. Toni's attachment to Andre is one maybe I can sort of relate to. Sentimental attachment to something where one have feeling for after sometime.
Throw in a bit of drama as well, and one can see how Toni reacts especially to how others who don't really like Andre's sudden popularity in the town.
This is just one of those where the family can all enjoy it together. Sometimes we just need a bit of old-fashioned goodness.
Quite a heart-warming movie.
