Michael Morpurgo's children's story Kensuke's Kingdom is transformed into a family animated feature set around the time of the original novel's publication in 1999, presenting an adventure closer to The Coral Island than Lord of the Flies.
The narrative follows Michael, a moody boy who, along with his beloved dog Stella, ends up on a remote island owned by Kensuke, an elderly Japanese veteran. Despite the island's dangers, Kensuke provides for Michael and Stella.
