LOVED both these movies for plenty of reasons, and both are an animals lover’s dream!
NIM’S ISLAND
FIVE HEARTS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
In this exciting fantasy, Nim has a remote island all to herself (but for her quirky animal friends) after her scientist father must leave, until she begins to communicate in an unusual way with the author of the novel she’s reading.
Alone on an island when her scientist father leaves for three days to study plankton and is gone longer than expected and she must figure out how to do many things including how to start a fire. The adorable Abigail Breslin is the resourceful Nim.
But she’s not really alone. She has her friend the sea lion she must care for.
And of course cares for her emotionally and more ways than one.
As well as her iguana friend, and both marvelous critters makes for some fun comic relief.
Nim loses cell contact with her father.
The handsome Gerard Butler.
She ends up in a mysterious email communication with the author of a book she as been reading.
Jodie Foster, as the author with Nim.
Directors: Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin Writers: Joseph Kwong (screenplay), Paula Mazur (screenplay)
This movie is a lot of fun and if you all love animals as I do, these characters brought delightful creature and human interaction to life on screen and I thin you’ll love this movie.
Available on:
HBOFE family
Also on amazon DVD Blu ray, Multi-format and amazon streaming. (It is FREE to stream if you are a PRIME amazon member and add amazon HBO.)

RETURN TO NIM’S ISLAND (2013) PG
If your family loved Nim’s Island and want to know what happens on the island next, here’s a real treat in this excellent, anxiously awaited sequel!
FIVE HEARTS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Based on the novel Nim at Sea by Wendy Orr more exciting adventure awaits you and Nim and her Father. How will Nim save her beloved island from people wanting to buy it and build an attraction there?
The actors have changed, but the characters we love have not and are compelling as ever. This time Edmund is played by Toby Wallace, seen here chatting with Nim.
And who could possibly have been a more appropriate Nim than the wonderful, Australian actor, songwriter, host, Bindi Irwin.
Daughter of the famous, late Steve Irwin, “Crocodile Hunter”, Australian wildlife expert, television personality, and conservationist.
In August of 2015, Bindi became even better known and loved as a contestant then winner on Dancing with the Stars – season 21 with Derek Hough.
And as I said, making for the perfect Nim. For me, makes it even more fun to watch knowing that. Enjoy!
