The lovable, sea creatures, also known as orcas, seem to have a success rate when it comes to curing childhood trauma, a track record even the priciest Park Avenue shrinks can't equal.
In the 1993 "Free Willy," a troubled 12-year-old, Jesse (Jason James Richter) learned to deal with his abandonment issues (his mother had dumped him in an orphanage, and taken off for New York City), thanks to the tender intervention of Willy, a trained whale living in glum imprisonment in a marine park. Freeing Willy to rejoin his family in picturesque frolics off the California coast, Jesse learned many important lessons about caring for himself and others. In the sequel, Jesse is now 15, and living with his new foster parents (Michael Madsen and Jayne Atkinson) in rugged splendor in the Pacific Northwest. He's got some new issues to deal with. One is sibling rivalry, in the form of an unknown 8-year-old half-brother, Elvis (Francis Capra), who has arrived from the sinister East on the death of his mother.
The other, far more serious, is a sudden, strange attraction to the female sex, particularly as embodied by the delightful Nadine (Mary Kate Schellhardt), young goddaughter to his old, Indian friend Randolph (August Schellenberg). Luckily, Dr. Orca is in. Willy turns up in time to help Jesse impress Nadine with his whale-control techniques, and to help Elvis and Jesse bond, as they work together to rescue Willy and his family from an encroaching oil spill.
