Seals

Seals are pretty cool creatures. In fact, I once worked alongside two during my brief tenure at Sea World. I just hope their brothers and sisters back on Seal Island, South Africa are doing okay.

For more great filmmaking featuring seals, check out the family adventure Andre. The true story of how a marine seal named Andre befriended a little girl and her family. 

Here's an excerpt from Roger Ebert's review on August 17, 1994:

Andre, meanwhile, turns out to be quite a seal. He goes through an obligatory health crisis early in the film, and the Whitneys can't figure out what's the matter with him. My theory: As a wild animal, Andre has gone into shock after finding himself living in a bathtub in the attic. After Andre recovers, he proves to be a fast learner, and is soon painting watercolors, blowing out the candles on his birthday cake, making raspberry noises at people he doesn't like, doing the Peppermint Twist, and tuning the television (favorite shows: "Lassie" and "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea").

The seal's favourite show is Lassie! Awesome.
