The first film [pulled in](http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/video-dolphin-tale-2-trailer-harry-connick-jr-ashley-judd/?utm%5Fsource=dlvr.it&utm%5Fmedium=twitter "undefined") $95 million in 2011, and TIME [wrote at the time](http://entertainment.time.com/2011/09/21/dolphin-tale-review/ "undefined")–during a season of few strong family films–that kids and parents “are going to eat this up.” “Dolphin Tale 2” [brings together ](http://www.seewinter.com/winter/dolphin-tale/sequel "undefined")the same cast, including Winter–the dolphin who played herself in the last film–and Morgan Freeman, for another tale inspired by the true story about a dolphin who is rescued. This time, Winter will be joined by Hope, who will also be playing herself. The film arrives in theaters Sept. 19. **Correction:** The original version of this story incorrectly described the character that Winter will play in Dolphin Tale 2\. She will again play herself, and Hope, a new dolphin, will play herself. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/60226/dolphin-tale-2-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/60226/dolphin-tale-2-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch: Dolphin Tale Is Coming Back","datePublished":"2014-04-11T23:14:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:16:38.311Z","description":"Winter, the dolphin who played herself in the first film, will be joined by Hope in Dolphin Tale 2, slated for Sept. 19.","url":"https://time.com/60226/dolphin-tale-2-trailer/","keywords":["movies","Warner Bros.","Morgan Freeman"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07227070625b33bb/69868a5913c79fad97191950/screen-shot-2014-04-11-at-8-21-24-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Rayman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/noah-rayman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt07227070625b33bb/69868a5913c79fad97191950/screen-shot-2014-04-11-at-8-21-24-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2014-04-11 at 8.21.24 PM","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/60226/dolphin-tale-2-trailer/","name":"Watch: Dolphin Tale Is Coming Back"}}]}] ```
