Unfortunately, I loved these movies as a kid. The poor whale did NOT get a happily ever after in real life.

It's not as heartwarming as the first one for me. Still a decent film.

I actually really enjoyed this sequel. It was good to see the story continue with an older Jesse and the edition of his brother to the story
