OUT NOW CINEMAS
This feature-length spin-off from kids’ TV toon sees Chris O’Dowd return to narrate a (gently topical) new story about displaced wildlife resettling among the familiar faces of the titular island. With its distinctive sense of place – the Rock is located off the coast of Ireland – this is charming stuff, though considerably lighter than coproducer Cartoon Saloon’s other theatrical fare (, ). Running a mere 80 minutes, it’ll keep toddlers entranced, but older kids and accompanying grownups may find it a little insubstantial.
