Based on the beloved German children’s book by Michael Ende (The Neverending Story). When an orphaned baby is mysteriously delivered to a tiny island, its four inhabitants raise him as their own and name him Jim. When he turns ten, he yearns to uncover his true origins and sets out with his
friend Luke on a magical train named Emma—across seas, deserts, forests, mountains, and even volcanoes. In the magical town of Mandala they learn that the emperor’s daughter has been captured by pirates, and the two decide to risk it all to save her. Features breathtaking special effects and offers an entertaining epic about family, friendship and self-discovery. Age 5-8 ($10)
