There's Flipper, Flipper, Flipper the Flapper! That's nostalgia!

In 1963, the first film about Flipper, the dolphin was released. The film was a great success, so a year later Flipper became a television series. In it, the dolphin had all sorts of adventures with Buddy and Sandy. Those were the sons of the nature reserve overseer.
