I first saw this film many years ago as part of the PBS Wonderworks television series for children. While I recognized at the time that parts of the film were a little corny or even manipulative, I recognized a certain heart and earnestness in the film. Briefly, this is a film about a young orphan is goes to live with her aunt when her parents are killed in an accident. At first, the girl is bitter and remorseful, but we begin to see a change in her as she begins to explore her new home and environs. One day, she adopts an orphan baby seal, and in caring for it, begins her metamorphosis for the better. I find that in many ways, this film is similar in theme and feel to Anna Paquin's "Fly Away Home." If you enjoyed that film, then you will enjoy "Seal Morning" as well. It is a great film for the family and is quite touching. I recommend it!
Viewer Reviews
the story is so beautiful, but really sad. it's about a young girl who raises a baby seal, but you know the whole time she isn't going to be able to keep it when it's grown, which is mentioned all through the movie. so you're always aware it's going to be sad when she releases it. the whole plot is about her becoming increasingly attached to the seal, only to have to release it. it's a story of love, but is also about how fragile the relations in life are, and how anything you love is eventually taken away. the final shot, during the ending credits, is of the seal, all alone, looking into the distance with a hopeful look in its big eyes. it is now free, but all alone. it would have been better to have her keep the seal, and love it during its whole life. and make the point that love is point of the story.
