=Dear Producer,=

=In class, we read //Island of the Blue Dolphins//. We also watched the movie and we noticed that many things from the book were missing. Because of this reason and many more, you should remake the movie.=

=The first problem is that you need to change the actors. They were pretty bad. And they need to be more realistic at that. The dad was too young. He was not old enough to be Karana's dad. Tutok was too young; she needed to be at least in her thirties. The dog was not even close to a wolf or a husky, which would have came from Alaska. Better casting would bring much better ratings.=

=Another reason is for the movie to be truer to the book. In the book, she went hunting for the devilfish and that was my favorite part, but the movie neglected to show this. No natural disaster like the earthquake happened during the movie. I also missed the sea elephant fight witch was was one of the most exciting parts of the book. That would have made the movie a whole lot better.=

=New technology is available now which could improve your movie. You could add 3-D effects to the movie. For example, when Karana throws her spear it could came at you. When you release this movie, you should put it out on DVD and/or Blu-Ray because not everyone has a VHS player in the house. Also, there is newer animation like a green screen which allows you to change the background. That would have brought better ratings and more money to your pocket.=

=You could have made a longer movie by putting more in it. Two white men's ships came to the island to rescue her in the book. Also, you could have shown her going across the ocean to the other land. And, you should have put Ulape in the movie. That would have made the movie a lot better.=

=Even though making a movie costs a lot of money, a good movie can bring a lot more money. Some people may think that no one cares about some girl stranded on an island, but survival is a popular genre. I Hope you read this instead of throwing it in the garbage. All I am trying to say to you is that you have to remake the movie.=
