In the early 90s sometime I saw this movie (on the Disney Channel I think) that involved a young couple visiting a coastal resort area or something and developing a relationship with a local girl who has some keen relationship towards humpback whales and dolphins. I don't remember the whole plot but I recall that she communicated with them (or something) by playing a recorder. It didn't have the same kind of light fantasy theme as Whale Rider and had some comedic elements to it; the girl and her brother liked playing pranks on people I remember. There was also some kind of family dispute going on between her two grandfathers I think and the finale involved freeing humpback whale trapped in a fishing net.
One thing I remember pretty well is I think the movie was dubbed but discrepancy between dialogue and lip movement wasn't very profound as in say an English dubbed Japanese film. I suspect it was filmed in an English speaking country but was dubbed over for localizations anyways, like Mad Max was, so English speaking viewers elsewhere wouldn't be confused by local slang and vernaculars.
So, does anyone recognize what I'm talking about?
