After the successful release across Latin America and Brazil, Twentieth Century decided to extend the distribution agreement to the US and Canada. The announcement was made today by TCF Senior Vice President of Acquisitions, Tony Safford. The film is scheduled to be released by the end of the year.
Produced by Dolphin Films in co-production with Password - Italy and in association with DDG – Germany, the film is directed by the gifted filmmaker, Eduardo Schuldt. “THE DOLPHIN, STORY OF A DREAMER”, is a CGI Animated screen adaptation of the bestselling novel, “The Dolphin: Story of a dreamer”.

Regarding this news, Sergio Bambarén, CEO of Dolphin Films, and producer of the film stated: “This is definitely a dream come true. When we started as a company almost 4 years ago, we never imagined we would come this far. But we always believed in our Company´s philosophy: Make your best effort, love what you do, and never, never stop dreaming, the rest will come by consequence. I guess time proved we were right, audiences loved the film in Latin America and they will love it in the rest of the world as well.¨
THE DOLPHIN shows the magical journey of a teen dolphin named Daniel who abandons the safety of his pod and ventures into the unknown in quest of a dream: to discover the true purpose of his life.
