She survived because of a ground-breaking prosthetic tail. Since 2011, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium has been able to expand its efforts to aid marine animals with new labs, pools, and operating rooms. Attendance increased from 78,000 in 2006 to 750,000 after the first film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen somebody who\u2019s an amputee or disabled in some way comes up and says that this movie helped me, [and] I see it all the time&#8211;that\u2019s what makes critics and stuff not matter,\u201d said Harry Connick\u00a0Jr. (Dr. Clay Haskett ). \u201cIf there\u2019s one person that you can touch, you\u2019ve done more than what you\u2019ve set out to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the sequel we feel Winter\u2019s pain after she lost her surrogate mother Panama, and falls into a depression.
