The 3-time BAFTA Award-winning animated adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel, with an impeccable voice cast including Sally Hawkins, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe, inspired our Summer 'Castaway Season'.
Young Michael and his family leave home to travel the world by boat. During a storm, he is thrown overboard and washed up on an island where he must adapt to life alone. But over time, he feels another presence, learning that this world is home to both danger and beauty beyond his imagination.
This gripping hand-drawn animated tale with its message of working together to protect nature, has never felt more relevant.
