Our film series continues with a free screening of the animated movie Kensuke’s Kingdom (85 minutes, rated PG) at the Dreamland Theatre. Eleven-year-old Michael is on a family sailing expedition when he and his dog get swept overboard and wash ashore on a seemingly uninhabited island in the Pacific. The pair try to fend for themselves until they encounter Kensuke, a Japanese man who has lived alone on the island for decades. At first reluctant to trust each other, when danger approaches, Michael and Kensuke must work together to protect their island home. This adaptation of the popular children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo was a grand prize winner at the 2024 New York International Children’s Film Festival and features the voices of Sally Hawkins, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe.
