==In out class we read The Island of the Blue Dolphins as a class book. Afterwards, we watched the movie. The outcome was not what we had expected, and was a lot different from the book. It might have been a hit in 1964, but now it is not as appealing to kids. Hansel and Gretel, a fairy tale, is making 19 million in one week; imagine if this came out redone in this genre. It would make millions! Your company should remake The Island of the Blue Dolphins movie.==

==One of many things is the movie needs is more action. For example, the tsunami scene, it was one of the most action packed parts in the book! Additional, you forgot the devilfish scene too, that was the scene where it shows that Karana really cares for Rontu. Another action scene was the sea elephant fight, that was where Karana hurt her knee which lead to so many missing scenes. Some people may think the sea elephant fight would be to violent for kids, but you don't have to show the whole fight.==

==Technology has improved so much since the 1960's, which is a perfect reason to remake it. Now a days you have more sound, and makeup effects to bump the movie up to the next level. I know in 1964 you did not have the technology to do the movie better, but that's why you should redo it. For example, now with the better lights and cameras to make it look more realistic. Also, you can use CGI's how to add even more entertainment.==

==Another reason to redo the movie is casting. Such as the birds, in the book they were colorful and vivid once fully grown, but in the movie they were black and grey. In addition to the birds a better Rontu, Rontu was was supposed to be a wolf, not a regular dog. Finally Karana should look as described in the book, the girl with the long black hair. In the 60's casting may have been limited, but now you should remake it.==

==Lastly, you should add the missing scenes back in to the movie. Such as, there was no Ulape or Nanko, and they were main people in the book. Also you forgot to add Black Cave and Tall Rock, that was an experience of Karana that gave her the creeps in the cave, and Tall rock where she saw all the cormorants. Since you might not have had enough crew to go out on the islands like that 60's, now you can redo it.==

==Even though it might give you a lot of trouble to make, it will be worth all the time spent into it. A regular movie may make some money, but this film can make millions! Is it really worth letting this pass you by? Island of the Blue Dolphins needs to be remade!==
