* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Among the lies that Elvis tells is that he saw Jesse kissing Nadine. In light of this, Glen attempts to give Jesse TheTalk, but he doesn't specify what he's talking about first, so Jesse thinks Glen is trying to warn him about playing with the whales. It's not until Glen says "it" can lead to sex that Jesse figures out they're not on the same page. (Although given that he ''does'' kiss Nadine a few scenes later -- albeit it's a single kiss rather than the full-blown make-out session that Elvis had implied -- giving him The Talk might not have been the worst idea in retrospect.)

[[redirect:Film/FreeWilly]]''Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home'' is the 1995 sequel to ''Film/FreeWilly, directed by Dwight Little and featuring most of the main cast from the first film.

Two years have passed since Jesse helped release Willy back into the wild, and he and his adoptive parents are prepared to go on a camping trip to San Juan Island. Before they can go, Jesse is informed that his mother has died and has left behind Jesse's half-brother Elvis. The two do not get along, but that doesn't stop the vacation. Once there, Jesse reunites with Willy, who has been happily reunited with his family. But when an oil tanker ruptures and spills its contents out into the bay, Willy's sister Luna gets sick and beaches herself. With Luna's life in the balance, Jesse must help her recover and reunite Willy's siblings with the rest of his family.

* CryingWolf: Elvis. The foster parents didn't believe him at first about the crashed oil tanker.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Jessie nearly drowns and incinerated by the tanker fire during the climax.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: While Randolph averted this trope in the first movie, it's played much more straight here. It's Randolph's traditional medicine that makes Luna better.
* MissingMom: It's revealed that Jesse's mom had another son as well before having the courtesy of dying and leaving his older half-brother as his only family.
* PapaWolf: Willy is very protective of his siblings, and only allows Luna to be examined because Jesse tells him it's alright.
