Nim's Island

Nim's Island brought me right back to my early childhood days, and the innocence of a world where almost anything could happen, and mystery was an everyday happening. I can't remember the last time i really felt so enchanted and filled with an innocence of heart as i followed this absolutely nonsensical plot which carries an underlying social and socio-psychological message (learn to see the world with the eyes of a child). Perhaps the last time was as i first saw Chitty Chitty bang Bang. I love chitty chitty bang bang it is all the things a children's film should be.I think those of us who got to enjoy going to the cinema and seeing all the Julie Andrews, Dick Van Dyke and all the other late sixties and early seventies stars of the Disney Era of Children's Cinema, were so lucky to get all those movies, such as Mary Poppins, the Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was irrepeatable of course, but i find that BNim's Island is the first movie to have ever come close to the feeling of innocence and boundless possibility that was generated so often in so many movies of my childhood.
