Duration: 1h24m
Dates: Thu 8 Aug 2024 10:30

Adapted from Michael Morpurgo’s bestselling novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom follows young Michael and his family on a round-the-world sailing trip. During a storm, he and his beloved dog Stella are thrown overboard and washed up on an island where they struggle to survive. But Michael soon realises there is someone close by, someone who is watching over him and helping him to stay alive. Following a close-run battle between life and death, the mysterious Japanese stranger – Kensuke – reluctantly allows Michael into his world and they begin to form a friendship. But something threatens to destroy the fragile world Kensuke has created on the island, and they must use all their courage, skills and resourcefulness to try to save it. 

Winner of the Grand Prize and Audience Award at the New York International Children’s Film Festival, and Best Animated Feature, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Music at the prestigious British Animation Awards this wonderful hand-drawn animation is a thrilling adventure story whose message of working together to protect nature has never felt timelier.

Kensuke's Kingdom features the voices of Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Oscar winner Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer), and Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (Letters from Iwo Jima, The Last Samurai).
