11. 'Dolphin Tale'
Warner Bros.
A pleasant reminder of why movies that feature non-talking animals are so much more entertaining than live-action/CGI hybrids starring talking pets, 'Dolphin Tale' is a sweet and unforgettable, um, tale that's based on the true story of Winter the dolphin. In the tradition of such animal-centered classics as 'The Black Stallion,' Winter's tale is a heartwarming story of the genuine friendship between two plucky (and adorable) kids and the dolphin they help save.
