In this British animated adventure, a young boy who is shipwrecked with his dog finds out he’s not the only one on a remote Pacific island.

During a round-the-world sailing trip with his parents, young Michael and his dog Stella are swept overboard during a heavy storm. They wash up on a remote Pacific island.
