Kensuke’s Kingdom: Delightful family entertainment featuring Cillian Murphy in Michael Morpurgo’s swashbuckling adventureWorking with the film-makers Neil Boyle and Kirk Hendry, Frank Cottrell-Boyce has adapted Michael Morpurgo’s adventure into a thrilling all-ages animation, replete with a clever sheepdog, marauding animal poachers, a long-shipwrecked Japanese second World War veteran and lovely performances from Ken Watanabe and Cillian Murphy.
There is some squabbling about chores and a big bust-up when the family realise Michael has smuggled his beloved sheepdog Stella onboard. Still, the youngster settles into keeping the ship’s logbook with lively sketches and doodles until, one fateful night, he and Stella are tossed overboard by a violent storm in the Indian Ocean. The castaways find themselves on an island where a mysterious host serves them water and sushi.
