DVD Synopsis
Joey Travolta directed this comedy-drama for the family. Two children from the city spend the summer at their grandfather's ranch where they make a new friend -- Mel, grandpa's giant turtle who can do tricks and loves pancakes. But while Grandfather and the kids are all very attached to Mel, one of his neighbors is opening a theme park and wants Mel as their official mascot ; he's willing even to steal him if Grandfather won't turn him over willingly. Julia Hagerty, Ernest Borgnine, Jack Scalia, and Greg Evigan star. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Mel was lots of fun for my kids, had a good moral story where the good guy (turtle) wins in the end. Like Champy and the Loche Ness Monster, it pushes the imagination to believe that this scenario is a possibiliy.
