Description: Playful, gentle and inquisitive, dolphins are among the most endearing of wild animals - and Robin Williams may be their perfect human counterpart. Williams, whose adventure takes him to the Bahamas and Hawaii, talks with research experts and attempts to communicate with dolphins in captivity. In the wild, he frolics with 60 spotted dolphins and forms a special kinship with one older dolphin. This entertaining and touching program reveals Robin Williams as the hilarious performer we know, and as a curious, sensitive investigator.

Rating: - SUPER DOLPHIN RIDE!
This is an EXCELLENT video. Funny, endearing, and informative, you learn about dolphins and laugh along with Robin William's antics. If you like Robin Williams and you have rapport with dolphins, you are gonna LOVE this video! It was made in 1995 by PBS as part of a series on animals. Well worth having around for those rainy days when you need a few laughs and some beautiful nature to view...
Rating: - Robin and the 'phins
Part of the "In the Wild" series, this episode focused on dolphins. Robin Williams was the host, and he had the envious opportunity to interact with several species of dolphins, both captive and wild. Needless to say, it made for fun viewing, even if there had been been no humor from Williams. But no fear - Williams was his zany self. His ad-libs with the dolphins mostly made the show even more entertaining!
Four stars. Anyone with an affinity for dolphins will like this.

Rating: - Used in the Classroom
I used this video in the classroom as a prelude to a writing assignment. Both the students and myself found it both entertaining and informative.
Even though Robin Williams was his usual funny self, you could tell he was truly "touched" by some of his experiences: especially when he met Stubby.
I highly recommend it as something the whole family would enjoy.
Rating: - Fabulous & informational video
We bought this video for our daughter who has recently taken a fascination with dolphins. My husband and I are both big fans of Robin Williams so we figured this would be GOOD documentary on dolphins. We were not disappointed. Although I must admit, my daughter was - she's only 2 yr. The humor was above her level and what was left was too much like a documentary for her. But my husband and I love this video. Typical Robin Williams humor and the occasional evidence of true emotion for the dolphins comes through. Excellent choice.
