Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove is a 2010 American family film written and directed by Will Geiger with the story by Cindy McCreery. It is a reboot as well as the fourth and final installment in the Free Willy film series. It stars Bindi Irwin, in her film debut, and Beau Bridges. The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 23 March 2010 in the United States, and on 2 August in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
It is the only film in the series not to feature any cast members from the first three installments, and the only film to be released direct-to-video. Like the two previous films, Willy is not portrayed by a real killer whale, and is instead portrayed by a combination of animatronic and CGI.[1]
