Review of Kensuke's Kingdom

Nice, mainly gentle animated film, in which a young boy is storm-washed from the deck of his parents' sailing boat and (somewhat implausibly) finds himself on a tropical island paradise presided over by the eponymous Kensuke, a former Japanese sailor whose family were all killed in the Nagasaki nuclear bombing. 

Perhaps I missed it, but I had thought that when the storm hits the family sailing boat is still in the Atlantic Ocean, heading for South Africa, which makes the presence of a Japanese sailor hard to explain. The Wikipedia article about the book makes it clear that they are in the Pacific, which makes much more sense.

Despite the subject matter I didn't get too emotionally involved - not as much as I did in the The Wild Robot, another animated film which strangely I don't seem to have reviewed.
