Synopsis

A young boy named Elmer finds himself living in a new city with his mother who is struggling to make ends meet. While Elmer tries to help, he only seems to get in the way. After displaying an act of kindness towards a stray cat, the boy finds himself transported to Wild Island, a tropical paradise which is home to an array of colourful and curious beasts, including a dragon called Boris. Elmer discovers that all is not right on the island, however, with some of the animals using the dragon for their own needs, and so he sets out to rescue and befriend the fire-breathing beast. From the Irish animation studio that made Song of the Sea and The Secret of Kells, this vibrant adaptation of a classic children’s novel celebrates themes including courage and friendship.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
