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.

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.

Based on the novel Nim at Sea by Australian author Wendy Orr, ?Return to Nim?s Island,? the sequel to Walden Media?s 2008 family action-adventure world-wide box office hit ?Nim?s Island,? picks up the story a few years later with fourteen year old Nim, more determined than ever to protect her island and all the wildlife that call it home. When she faces off against resort developers and animal poachers, she realizes she can?t depend on her animal cohorts alone and must make her first human friend ? Edmund, who?s run away to the island from the mainland ? to save her home.

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.

DANCING WITH THE STARS - "Episode 2101" -- "Dancing with the Stars" is back with an all-new celebrity cast ready to hit the ballroom floor. The competition begins with the two-hour season premiere, LIVE, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/Adam Taylor) BINDI IRWIN, DEREK HOUGH
In 2012, Bindi hosted a wildlife-themed game show called Bindi’s Bootcamp and has since become a wildlife conservationist in her own right, following in her father’s footsteps.

And as I said, making for the perfect Nim.  For me, makes it even more fun to watch knowing that.  Enjoy!
