Såg precis Kensukes Rike. Otroligt bra film, har du möjlighet gå och se den, svårt att se någon annan animerad film slå denna. Väldigt hjärtskärande, vackert gjort och överlag den sorts film jag vill se mer av. #kensukeskingdom

Watched it for work. Leant into less-is-more when adapting from the book, and it very much worked. A beautifully animated, calm, simple and rewarding story. 7/10

"This is a quiet, traditional, lovely film with a big heart and unshowy animation. It delivers a wonderful message for youngsters too. God, how I wish more children's films nowadays were like this."

UK+Ireland Cinema #Top15 Box Office (05Aug24). Even with around 53% drop off #DeadpoolAndWolverine remains No. 1. Not surprising that a small little British/European animated film #KensukesKingdom only reached No. 13 with £37k. #MyNeighbourTotoro re-release did well at No. 10.

#KensukesKingdom 4/5. A deserted island story that carries a message if respecting nature and wildlife in a palatable way. The animation expertly captured the wildlife. Was effective in hitting the emotional beats. Really liked #StuartHancock's score. I have notes about the dog.
