Keisha Hughes rocketed to fame when she played the starring role of "Pai" in the movie Whale Rider. While Rider focused on the difficulty of natives living in the modern world, it is a great movie!
Yes, for a brief period of time Pinocchio lived inside of the whale Monstro. He was swallowed when he tried to save his father Gepetto who was trapped in the whale.
In the US: $20.7 million, in the rest of the world: $20.6 million, for a total of, you guessed it $41.3 million.
One interesting thing I have found is that there is a whale that has the exact same killer whale fin. It can easily be mistakin for a killer whale when really it is just the false killer whale. The false killer whale is exactly a dolphin!Status: Endangered in Oregon, Washington, and California. Killer Whales are also called orcas but you probably already knew that. Killer Whales love playing! sorry i cant remember any more!
