Quotes Judith Dunhill : If a dog and a dolphin can get along, why can't our mom and his dad? User reviews 9 Review. Top review. Very sweet movie, definitely a feel good one. I first saw this on a bus returning from the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
Unfortunately, by the time the guide got it going we only saw about 45 minutes of it before we got back to Orlando. I had enjoyed it immensely and wanted to see how it turned out. Fortunately over 12 months later Sky got around to showing it and I was delighted that it was as sweet as I remembered. I'm usually a bit of a cynic with "family" movies, but, this had such a nice feel about it and on a miserable British winter day it was a great tonic.
I had often wondered what had happened to Steve Guttenburg and he turned in a nice performance as did Kathleen Quinlan. As she approaches the boat, Zeus jumps from her back to the boat, barking his thanks as he shakes the water from his fur. This scene was shot in cuts. An animatronic dolphin was used for this scene. For the portion of the scene when Zeus falls overboard, the scene was shot before a blue screen.
The trainer placed the dog on a flat board that was tipped side to side to simulate a rocking motion. The board was approximately 18 inches from the ground.
When the dog is seen swimming from point A to B, two trainers were present in the water at all times. A diver was in the water in the background wearing a shark fin. The animatronic dolphin moved towards the boat and with the help of the trainer the dog climbed on its back. Claude, another biologist, is on the dock beside his boat when Zeus and Mary Beth approach. While Mary Beth is talking with Claude, Zeus inches towards his briefcase sitting on the dock. Zeus nudges the case with his nose, knocking it into the water.
The trainer placed the dog on his mark and used verbal and hand commands to cue the dog to push the briefcase. At the end of the summer, Terry, his son Jordan, and Zeus move from the island to a town inland. Zeus, missing Roxanne, decides to run away and head for the island. He pushes a lounge chair across the patio with his front paws then he does the same with a small patio table.
After getting a good start, Zeus runs towards the chair and jumps from the chair to the table, over the balcony, and into the pool below. He is then seen running down the beach. The trainer placed the dog on a platform overlooking the pool, two trainers were strategically placed and a stay command was given. When he is preparing his ramp, he is cued to stand on his hind legs and push at the lawn furniture. A line was attached to the furniture and it was actually pulled across the floor by a prop person.
The dog then climbs up onto the furniture and jumps over the railing, landing in the pool. This portion of the scene was actually filmed on the ground before a blue screen.
It appears as though the dog is falling three flights, however, when Zeus is seen landing in the pool, he actually jumps from an 18 inch platform on the side of the pool. One morning, a dog named Zeus goes to the pier, spots a dolphin, and becomes fascinated by its movements.
Afterwards, he returns home to his owner, Terry Barnett, an aspiring musician, and his son, Jordan, who appears to be taking care of him. While stopping over on the way home with Zeus, Mary Beth spots her two impossible daughters, Judith and Nora, skating against her wishes. Arriving home, she asks Jordan if she could borrow Zeus for her research on Roxanne, who she hopes to release back into the wild.
