Kensuke's Kingdom - A gripping animated adaptation of the best-selling novel by Michael Morpurgo - 3.5 Million copies sold worldwide.

Following a close-run battle between life and death, a 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.
