Dive Into Whitaker Center's Newest IMAX 3D Adventure
Dolphins and Whales 3D: Tribes of the Ocean
Now Showing
Whitaker Center will transport audiences into the thrilling, underwater documentary, Dolphins and Whales 3D: Tribes of the Ocean.
Presented by Jean-Michel Cousteau, the movie explores the lives and habitats of surviving tribes of the ocean, including bottlenose dolphins, humpback whales, belugas, orcas and manatees. Narrated by actress and environmentalist Daryl Hannah, this highly emotional journey features remarkable images of 11 different species of cetacean, captured through the magic of IMAX 3D.
Dolphins and Whales 3D explores many aspects of the daily lives of the species highlighted in the movie, such as playing, interacting socially, migrating and communicating through a highly complex system of sounds. Daryl Hannah explains, “I hope audiences will empathize with them and understand how similar they are to us – they love their babies and take the time to nurture and educate them; they play; they breathe air like us.”
Three years in the making, Dolphins and Whales 3D required no fewer than 12 international expeditions and 600 hours underwater at some of the remotest locations on Earth, including off the Pacific Ocean atolls of Moorea and Rurutu (French Polynesia), Vava'u Island (Kingdom of Tonga) and the Valdez Peninsula (Argentina). Unlike other IMAX®-type films, it was shot entirely in the wild and consists solely of underwater footage, with no humans on screen.
Dolphins and Whales 3D was produced by 3D Entertainment and McKinney Underwater Productions and released by 3D Entertainment’s distribution unit in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society. This film is not rated, but suitable for all audiences: Running Time: 42 min.
