【Visual and Special Effects Milestones of the Film 150】

A boy abandoned by his biological mother inadvertently establishes contact with a killer whale, and finally, with the help of his adoptive parents, they secretly release the killer whale back into the sea.

This story, which occurred in the movie "Mermaid Fairy Tale", touched many people in reality, because the killer whale used in the film is Keiko the whale who has been caught since childhood and has been raised to perform.

After the film's release, under the constant clamor of some activists and fans, in 1998, the killer whale was eventually transferred to Iceland by the U.S. Air Force's C-17, where it learned how to live in nature, released in 2002, and followed a group of killer whales to Norway, but it could not fit in the group, and even returned to seek human companionship, and in December 2003, in the Norwegian Gulf, died of pneumonia.

Although the killer whale is trained, many of the delicate shots in the film are actually done by electronic models of whales, and the climax of the film, the shot of the whale jumping up, is the use of computer animation.
