Nim's Island

Nim's Island (Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin, 2008)

Family, Adventure, Storytelling, Coming of Age, Comedy

This is a fun (and rather ridiculous!) story about embracing life, trying new things, being resourceful, and the power of loyalty. The two main characters are both female, both learning to cope/grow in their own way, and both processing reality in a unique way (a hypochondriac/agoraphobic adult writer who can't function without her main character vs. a brave young girl whose friends are all different species). A great family film, a nice reminder that good storytelling still exists in movies.
