"The Dolphin Tale 2 teaser trailer is finally here and I'm thrilled to be working on a family movie. So many readers loved the story of Winter. After watching this trailer, I have no doubt that baby Hope who was rescued by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium will find a special place in their hearts as well," read the press release for the trailer.
The second film will revolve around both Winter and the new baby dolphin Hope with Winter remaining the central dolphin character in the film. Other animals from the first Dolphin Tale will also be returning such as Rufus the Pelican. It will also show the story of rehabilitated dolphin Mandy who was successfully released back into the wild by the Aquarium.
The scripts to both films were based on real events that occurred at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. They brought much attention to this establishment that entered into financial hardship shortly before the first film was made.
