  • With any lower-budget, direct to video family film, you really don't go beyond a certain level of filmmaking quality, and this is the case with this movie.

  • Perhaps the feature isn't an overwhelming display of scholastic integrity, but the little ideas add up here and there, hopefully instilling younger viewers with an appreciation for animal behavior.

  • It's hard to beat a little girl and a killer whale in any movie.

Audience Reviews for Free Willy 4: Escape From Pirate's Cove

    As usual, truly a loveable and enjoyable movie of a little lady that takes a trip to South Africa against her wishes to see her down and out Grandfather. Miles away from her normal terrain, she becomes friends with a "killer" whale that too is miles away and lost from his family. The two of them form an alliance that will eave a lasting memory in your mind of the importance being a part of family happiness.

    Bindi Irwin stars as a girl who's sent to live with her grandfather (Beau Bridges) after her father injures himself and is stuck in a hospital bed for a few weeks. Her grandfather owns a rundown little amusement park and when Bindi befriends a killer whale, he uses it as a feature attraction at his park. The movie is cute and harmless and actually better than the other Free Willy sequels. The film has a lot of the same storyline as the first movie. While I find it silly that a different person just happened to give the whale the same name that the whale had in the previous films. The movie is good for the whole family though. I also think Bindi could have a career in movies, since she's actually a better actor than a lot of the young stars these days.
