FASTER THAN LIGHTNING, THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS DOLPHIN IS COMING TO DVD!
"FLIPPER"
Season One
On April 24, MGM Home Entertainment Dives Into An Aquatic Adventure With The King Of The Sea
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Plunge into an undersea world of fun and excitement with one of the most memorable family television programs of the 1960s: "Flipper"- Season One, swimming to DVD for the first time on April 24, 2007 from MGM Home Entertainment. An adaptation of the 1963 movie of the same name, the 1964 TV series quickly surpassed its theatrical predecessor in the hearts of viewers, who tuned in weekly to share in the underwater adventures of Flipper and his human friends and continues to capture audiences today through syndication. With serialized excitement and environmentally friendly storylines, the series chronicled the relationship between the lovable dolphin and his land-locked companions Sandy (Luke Halpin, Mako: The Jaws Of Death) and Bud (Tommy Norden), the sons of Park Ranger Porter Ricks (Brian Kelly, who later executive produced Blade Runner), as they worked together to enforce park rules and care for animal life at Coral Key Park in Florida.
The "Flipper"- Season One four-disc DVD collection features all 30 action-packed episodes from the show's television debut season, showcasing ground-breaking underwater photography and stunt work that was truly ahead of its time. Available on four two-sided "flipper" discs, the "Flipper"- Season One DVD collection features a special Dolphins Trivia Game, and will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S./$54.98 Canada.
