What really got me into watching this show was the cute California sea lion character , Lucille. I figure they decided to end the show quick with only 13 episodes by relieving the identity of the villain and bringing him to justice in the series finale.
Actually the show went for two seasons. After they revealed the villian, he went on the run. There was another 13 episodes I think where they tried to track him down. Ended with a Christmas special, which is on my channel, so there never was a definate 'ending'.
Unless Willy was trained to survive in the outside world and able to find food, freeing him was probably the worst possible thing you could do to him. Thanks kid.
loved the movies the only reason I like this video is because I remember hearing it when cartoons were on I never really watched it past the first episode
You know, when I listen to that song the first thing I think about is not a boy riding an orca while a cyborg in an underwater metal bubble shoots torpedoes at them
Damn, I watched this every day after school too. Kept my youthful fascination with whales alive for a long time. I've been looking for the episodes forever.
Man, i cant find it anywhere. Ive looked everywhere and even for torrents, and i cant find any episodes of free willy the tv series on the internet. If you have them, do you think maybe you could upload some of the episodes here on youtube? I already saw the christmas episode and i thought it was good.
Strange I thought the dolphin was called Flipper, still I loved this cartoon the only problem I have with this is that Willy would eat the seal lion and the dolphin except if he thinks he is a dolphin.
not really, its only bcuz of their size that they're mistaken as whales, but since they hav a dorsal fin & a relatively pointed rostrum (nose), while whales hav a hump & a wide rostrum, thats y orcas bear more resemblance 2 dolphins than whales
I never cared for this show even when I was a kid.I remember the day Sonic the Hedgehog Sat AM series got replaced with Free Willy.I cried the day they replaced Sonic with this crap cartoon.T_T
Also, I don't get why people think this cartoon killed Sonic. It was shows like Power Rangers that did it. This show just happened to take up the empty time slot.
@RollChan1985 I think what killed Sonic more than anything were the other seasons of Sonic that followed the first original series. When Dr. Robotnik became a pushover villain - different voice and all,and had those two goofy dimwitted robot characters and the show turned into more of a comedy circus rather than the action/suspense/adventure show that it was in the original first Sonic cartoons. Those first & oldest Sonic shows were the best and had never been topped in my opinion.
Watching this brings back pleasant memories...but the cartoon itself sucked, boring as Hell and obviously written by a bunch of left wing tree huggers.
Sorry to but in, but what an inappropriate film to make a cartoon spin-off to.
I realize we all watched it growing up, but what a garbage, shitty idea to create such a gooey, dramatic shit show. They made 3 of the damn movie to begin with. Poor damn whale.
Tell me about it, essentially a Captain Planet clone were environmental damage is solely the work of evil monsters who just have nothing better to do than cause mayhem. And everyone is preached to as if we're all GUILTY of somehow colaborating with such fiends... This just made a boringly repeitous excercize in tedium which skulked under the shadow of a true inimatic classic.
God...the memories are coming back *wipes tear from eye* i loved this and a few over shows, anyone saw one about a dying world, and several kids, have to find piece of a crystal called Vitacore, they had a dragon friend, i think it was school education video, but can't think of the title, anyone think they know?
Ok how did a classic movie with a realist setting turn into an action cartoon with a boy who can talk to his whale friend, and team up against a evil robot to save the world????
They should make another sequel of the movie based on the stories of this cartoon series. Imagine that...Willy speaks and a crazy cyborg guys is after him! Lol that would be a classic.
I loved this cartoon! They don't maked an episod with Willy's family? Anyway, it was so nice! It's was like "Delfy y sus amigos",a spanish cartoon with in the same style, but it was a dolphin, and no humans (ennemies was land animals... :(
I used to watch Delfy! My dad did some of the South African Afrikaans dub (he played a hammerhead shark I think), and I once did the voice of a clam laughing (I was about seven years old :D)
I loved FreeWilly TV series... Although scatter among other taped Cartoons I think I got 30-40 episodes.
Mainly I liked the Machine.... I rooted for him every episode....I kept hoping he would get that group of ---- eco-lovers. I liked the Submarine. The mining vehicles. Torpedoes... *Sigh*. Lol. I didnt actually root for him to WIN though ;). I just kept hoping he wouldn't do the clich'e villian messups.
I love this show! I don't know about some things. But other things i know. I learn all about Free Willy and the show. Bring all the episodes as u can. Paul Haddad soon played as Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 1 and 2 video games. The movies are okay but I like this show better because Willy, Eienstien and Lucille can talk. I wish animals can talk in real life. But that would be fantasy. Only parrots can talk. I wish that this show comes on DVD already. Not unless u vote for it to come out.
Willy the Whale... is swimming around somewhere off the Northwest Pacific coast... and he sees... a *Cyborg*... with a giant submarine... that has frikkin' laser beams... O.o Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
Hold on, I've already asked you that, didn't I? If so, please disregard what I posted a few minutes ago! I wasn't paying close attention...0_0; I'm so sorry! ^_^;
