DOLPHINS AND WHALES 3D Narrated by Daryl Hannah to Make a Big Splash at the Cinemark IMAX Theatre at The Tulsa on March 7

PLANO, Texas, Feb. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the "Company"), Jean-Michel Cousteau and filmmakers the Mantello Brothers invite audiences to the exclusive Oklahoma engagement of DOLPHINS AND WHALES 3D: Tribes of the Ocean, a stunning and highly emotional underwater 3D experience narrated by actress and environmentalist Daryl Hannah, beginning Friday, March 7 at the Cinemark IMAX Theatre at The Tulsa, located at 10802 East 71st Street.

"Less than 1% of human beings have had the incredible opportunity to visit the underwater world," said Daryl Hannah. "With this beautiful family adventure projected onto IMAX(R) 3D screens, viewers will don their 3D glasses much in the same way we put on our diving masks and can virtually touch some of the most incredible marine mammals in the world."

For ocean explorer and film ambassador Jean-Michel Cousteau, "This film is an ideal means of reaching a vast audience and helping individuals around the globe to understand that we need to act responsibly in order to ensure the preservation of the world's oceans and its inhabitants because, in the end, the most crucial partners whales and dolphins have are YOU and ME."

"DOLPHINS AND WHALES 3D: Tribes of the Ocean will immerse viewers in the daily lives of small and giant cetaceans as they interact socially, play, communicate, feed, breed, migrate and fight for their survival," said Jean-Jacques and Francois Mantello -- the Mantello Brothers -- the film's director and producer, respectively. "It also delivers a powerful message in favor of the protection of these tribes while they are facing the greatest challenge of all: to survive the destruction of their habitat and depletion of food resources."

It marks the first time that humpback whales, belugas, orcas, bottlenose dolphins and manatees have been filmed in 3D for the world's biggest screens. Three years in the making, the film required no fewer than 12 international expeditions and 600 hours spent underwater at some of the remotest locations on Earth, including off the Pacific Ocean atolls of Moorea and Rurutu (French Polynesia), Vava'u Island (Kingdom of Tonga) and Pico Island (Azores).

Unlike other IMAX(R)-type films, DOLPHINS AND WHALES 3D was shot entirely in the wild and consists solely of underwater footage, with no humans on screen.

Jean-Michel Cousteau's DOLPHINS AND WHALES 3D reunites director Jean-Jacques Mantello and producer Francois Mantello with director of photography Gavin McKinney and composer Christophe Jacquelin, the highly successful 3D filmmaking team behind 3D Entertainment's OCEAN WONDERLAND and SHARKS 3D.

The film is produced and released by 3D Entertainment and its distribution unit in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme, Ocean Futures Society, the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS), PADI's Project Aware and Reef Check.
