Kensuke’s Kingdom at GFT
Friday 2 till Thursday 8 August, 2024
All screenings include a short recorded intro by Michael Morpurgo, author of the book Kensuke’s Kingdom.
A young boy, shipwrecked on a remote island, discovers he’s not alone when he encounters an old Japanese soldier who retreated there after the Second World War. As dangerous invaders appear on the horizon, it becomes clear they must join forces to save their fragile island paradise.
This gripping hand-drawn animated tale with its message of working together to protect nature, has never felt more relevant. Written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce from Michael Morpurgo’s beloved 1999 novel, Kensuke’s Kingdom features an impeccable voice cast including Sally Hawkins, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe.
