Trivia:
Director Alan Shapiro originally wanted 'an entirely unknown' for the role of 'Kim'. However, felt that most of the girls that screen tested with Elijah Wood were to 'giggly'. He decided to cast someone with more experience. moreGoofs:

A try hard remake of Free Willy? You bet it is! Flipper is definitely a kids movie. The storyline is weak and it seems to be over before it's even begun. Though It's a must for Elijah Wood fans as they'll love the opportunity to see him in his cool sunnies and swimming gear, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it (unless you're under 12).
