Flipper/Slappy and the Stinkers

A double-bill of family adventures. In 'Flipper' (1996), rebellious teenager Sandy Ricks (Elijah Wood) is sent to spend the summer with his irresponsible but well-meaning uncle Porter (Paul Hogan).

Upset because he is going to miss a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, Sandy soon finds a friend in a dolphin he names Flipper.

Together they stumble upon toxic waste being dumped on Porter's fishing grounds by his enemy, Dirk (Jonathan Banks).

In 'Slappy and the Stinkers' (1998), five feisty kids from Dartmoor Academy, nicknamed the 'Stinkers', skip opera appreciation classes to cause chaos.

Having smuggled Slappy the sea lion onto the school bus and into principal Brinway's hot tub, the Stinkers find themselves on a rescue mission to save Slappy before he is sold to the circus.
