Dolphin Tale has been floating well above water the last three weeks since its release in theaters all across the U.S. The inspiring true story has been touching audiences from all walks of life, and next up for the film – which showcases the real-life story of Winter the dolphin’s amazing recovery – is to invade the overseas’ markets starting this Friday.

Knowing that, here’s an exclusive glimpse of what has been taking place at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where “Dolphin Tale” finished production nearly a year ago. The little hospital/aquarium that could, is now ready to take its mission (Rescue, Rehabilitation, & Release) to the next level. Take a look at ShockYa’s interview with the star of the film and meet the newest rescue, Hope, the possible subject matter for a follow-up feature. And be sure to fixate your eyes on a few photos from our visit earlier this week.
