"Splash, Too" is the 1988 Disney TV movie sequel to the 1984 movie, Splash (starring Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah). Directed by Greg Antonacci and written Bruce Franklin Singer, this TV movie starts Todd Waring as Allen Bauer and Amy Yasbeck as Madison Bauer (a mermaid). Set four years after the events of the first movie, it is revealed that both Allen Bauer and his wife Madison (a mermaid) have been living on a deserted island hideaway. Allen becomes bored on the island and admits he misses life in New York City and his brother Freddie, and Madison, aware of Allen's sadness, has an ability to view/communicate by simply running her index finger in a circular motion on water, shows Allen how things are going on back in New York with Freddie. Realizing that the family business, Bauer Produce, is in trouble since he left Freddie alone, Allen tells Madison that it is time to return to New York and help save the family business. (This contradicts the first movie's finale revelation that if Allen goes to live in the sea, he can never return.) Upon returning, they move into a new home, meet a new neighbor Mrs. Needler (Doris Belack), and Madison meets a new friend, Fern Hooten. Later on in this story, Madison has her own agenda: to save her dolphin friend Salty, who is being held in captivity by Dr. Otto Benus (Mark Blankfield) for research. While trying their best to hide Madison's secret, both Allen and Madison do their very best as a married couple, growing closer to one another during this adventure.
