August 13—Free Willy (1993) 112 mins.

Jesse, a troubled 12-year old, befriends Willy, an orca whale recently captured by the seaquarium. When the owner of the seaquarium plots to kill Willy for the insurance money, Jesse risks his life to free Will in this touching family adventure.

Anyone who's ever been seven will enjoy this uproarious tale, starring John Ritter, as Junior's latest father who hilariously tries to adjust his adopted kid before he destroys everyone and everything in his path.
