Overview

Young Michael and his family leave home to travel the world by boat. During a storm, he is thrown overboard and washed up on an island where he must adapt to life alone. But over time, he feels another presence, learning that this world is home to both danger and beauty beyond his imagination. The beloved novel makes for a gripping animated tale and its message of working together to protect nature has never felt timelier.
