THE RED TURTLE

Cert PG

Digital Monday, Disc September 25 Be swept away on waves of imagination by this wonderful animated fable.

Borrowing ideas from Robinson Crusoe and the Rime of the Ancient Mariner, it’s inspired by Japanese and Chinese art, and uses traditional ink and watercolour in hand-drawn style.

A shipwrecked man’s bid to escape on a raft from a tropical island are thwarted by a giant red turtle. But what begins as an adventure story evolves into a rich exploration of the circle of life. Deservedly Oscar nominated, it’s magical and moving.
