Andre

Andre (1994) is a gentle family adventure you can watch online on iFILM. In a small Maine harbor town in the early 1960s, dockmaster Harry Whitney finds an orphaned seal pup washed up on the rocks and brings it home. His youngest daughter, Toni, takes to the animal at once and names him Andre.

The seal grows up making a delightful mess of the household and turning into a local celebrity, though not every neighbor is charmed by a flippered houseguest. The family ends up fighting to keep Andre — and later learning to let him return to the sea. Keith Carradine leads the cast alongside a young Tina Majorino and a pre-Dawson's Creek Joshua Jackson, in a film drawn from the real friendship between a Maine girl and a harbor seal. It is slow, warm, and free of any cruelty, which makes it an easy pick for a night in with younger kids. Stream Andre online on iFILM.
