Adult Toni Whitney: [voice over narration] Many years ago, a seal named Andre made his first historic swim home and his life became legend. Every winter he lived the life of a gentlemen at the country aquarium. Every Spring my Dad set him free, and every time Andre made the two hundred and fifty mile journey home to spend the Summer with us, his family. By the time Andre was twenty four years old, he could hardly see. But that didn't stop him from completing his final trip. In all the journeys since my youth, and on all the journeys I have ahead of me, I know I'll never find a better friend than Andre.
- Curiosità sui creditiHome movies of the real Andre are shown while the credits are rolling. They are intercut with key scenes from the film.
- Versioni alternativeThe original VHS and laserdisc release from 1995 removes the scene in which Paula and Mark are smoking in the shed around Andre, only to be caught red handed by Harry. This scene is intact on the 2002 DVD release.

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.
