Thus begins Sammyas incredible fifty-year ocean journey. Along the way he meets his best friend; a fellow turtle named Ray; and overcomes obstacles both natural and man-made while trying to fulfill his dream of travelling around the world.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2015My kids LOVE this movie and frankly it's done well enough that I actually don't mind repetitive viewings.
There are people saying this is a no go of a film for sensitive kids. My 5 yo is VERY sensitive, but all we needed to do was pause the movie and talk about it a little and then it was fine. There is peril in the ocean for many critters and I think this movie handles it well for the younger set. We opted for this over Nemo because I knew my kids would have nightmares about the big grinning shark (sharks in Turtle Tale were a little scary but not as bad as Nemo or Reef).
To the people saying that this film is trying to indoctrinate kids about evil humans and Green Peace...remember that this movie is told in flashback from the viewpoint of a 50 year old turtle. He isn't throwing propaganda, he's simply remembering the details of his experience through the decades when many of us humans used to think nothing of dumping all manner of stuff in the ocean and other groups of us were fairly militant about protecting our natural resources. It's Sammy turtle's life experience and history through his eyes. And it's not a bad thing to show our kids the mistakes we've made with our planet and help them see te benefit of trying to keep it clean.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2016We love this movie! My son has watched it 100 times he repeat all the words to it. I love this movie from a parent perspective. I feel like it's got some great aspects to it. Relationships and environmental care. The oil spill was something we were able to talk about and research further. He learned a lot about recycling and how to keep our environment clean so that the next generation can enjoy the beauty our earth has to offer. We talk about friendships and even though people leave you stay friends and can reunite. This isn't one of those annoying kids movie either I enjoy watching it with my kids and talking to them about different parts of the movie. The music in it is great too I really enjoy all the songs and we sing them regularly. If you are thinking of purchasing this movie for you and your family you should do it. You won't be sorry it's really adorable!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2012I watched this with my kids, who range in ages from 2-10 and we all enjoyed it very much! Its like a turtle version of Disneys finding Nemo! with a little bit of a twist that makes it relateable for older kids but still relateable for the younger ones too, it was PERFECT in my opinion. It shows sammy the turtle from hatching out of his egg and the obsticles he has to over come to get from his egg to the water, and all the other ocean creatures he comes in contact with while trying to find his mate, shelly who he has loved sinced he was a hatchling. Well my family and I all highly recommend this movie and hope that you enjoy sammys adventure as much as we did.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016This was a great movie I even purchased the second one my daughter loved it so much. I enjoyed it myself as well. My daughter asks to watch these everyday. If your looking for a fun kids movie with adventure I recommend these movies.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2013Was searching movies that were age appropriate for everyone
without so much drama added in most of young children's movies.
Wanted something a little different for grandchildren & nephews.
Always looking for kids movies that are uplifting, with laughter,
teaching problem solving & other solutions to everyday situations.
And mostly void of bullies & mistreatment of others.
I have an extensive library of movies for the kids.
DVD's & videos that I have been collecting for 27 years.
Kids ask to watch "Sammy'sTale's" over & over.
They stay glued to their seats until it's over.
They have a happy attitude after watching this movie.
They sometimes talk about it with each other after watching it.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013A Turtles Tale does not get enough attention! As a mom I look for movies that are not gross, have no magic or underlying adult jokes. This movie is all that and more. From the day Sammy is born the video sucks you in and holds the attention of even the adult viewer but young children. Sammy has adventures that take him around the world so children get a bit of geography and science too!
This is a very clean, non scary, well produced movie with wonderful graphics that are full of color and detail. The ocean and life of the turtles come to life and love conquers all! I will watch this again and again!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2013Great video for family entertainment. I bought it for my two year old grandson and it captured his attention off and on but it had mine the whole way though. This is a fun tale of adventure as well as teaching children about what can happen to our environment if its polluted and what they can do to help keep the oceans safe for the sea world. So, its fun and a teaching tool! I think toddlers are still a bit to young for the envriomental message but the graphics will capture their attention as well as the sto
- Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022There were deep scratches in the disk and holes through the case. So much for “good condition”

5.0 out of 5 stars The best 3D movie ever.
Ok everyone who has a 3D tv and 3D bluray needs to get this. This is the best 3D movie ever. If you love 3D that literally comes off the screen from the very start, you will love and have to have this in your collection. I saw this in the cinema after being blown away by the trailer. This to me is the only 3D bluray that can test the range of your new 3D bluray player. The whole movie is in proper stand out 3D, this is the 3D i love. Without being too gimmicky(and what's wrong with that?) the 3D draws you into this marine world of Sammy's and the dangers of the deep. Ben Strassen used to direct the big screen IMAX movies in 3D. He has always been a pioneer of 3D long before James Cameron revealed his own in-depth 3D with Avatar. My fave movie that Strassen did was Encounters in the third Dimension which featured the beautiful Elvira. It was a short movie. Then he broke into feature length 3D movies with Fly me to the moon which was brilliant in 3D, now he has another great 3D movie under his directors belt. A turtle tale is a story that both kids and adults will love. The story follows a young turtle called Sammy from his birth when he breaks out of his egg (this scene is perfect for kids, they will reach out and want to help the little Sammy during this scene, even i did) to his adult life and finally to his older life. All the time, you have water almost coming over the screen, it actually looked like it would flood the floor outside the TV. Sharks swim right at you, Piranhas come out at you, in a way that would put Piranha 3D to shame. Snakes slither out of the screen and even the turtles swam at you and away from you. This movie is an absolute 3D treat and so un to watch. But this movie also carries a message and it is an ecological one. One that does need to be taken notice of. When a film makes you ashamed of being a human, you know that it has done something right. This has been dubbed so many times for americans, french (where it originates from) and this british version. This contains some great british actors starting with the great John Hurt as Sammy when he's older. Giving the wisdom of an older turtle and telling the story as the adventure unfolds, Strassen has the younger Sammy voiced by Dominic Cooper (from the devil's double and Mamma Mia) while the love interest is played exceptionally by the lovely Gemma Alterton (Prince of Persia, Clash of the titans (2009) and St trinians. Along the way they meet some strange yet unforgettable characters,one of which had me in stitches. You will know who she is when you see her (small spoiler! she fights a shark that attacks her). This is a film for all ages and it is not too sickly for adults either. I throughly enjoyed watching this and it is easily my fave 3D film I have on 3D bluray.
