After his cruise ship discovery of Nim and her beautiful island, Edmund tries to explain the wonder of his find to his classmates only to find that nobody will believe him. Frustrated, Edmund runs away and sneaks aboard the same fateful cruise ship as his last adventure and steals a row boat to make his way to Nim's Island. At the same time, Nim's world is turning upside down, as she's faced with the possibility of having to move to the mainland for her father to pursue his scientific research. Left alone for her last weekend on the island, Nim finds Edmund, as well as the pirate animal poachers that followed him! Soon, Nim and Edmund are in a stealth battle of cunning and wits to rescue her beloved sea lion Selkie. With Nim's know-how and Edmund's bravery, they are able to defeat the pirates and maybe even solve the scientific mystery that would allow Nim to stay on her beloved Island.

Free Willy meets Peter Pan meets Home Alone – with loads of action and laughs – as Bindi Irwin defends the paradise of Nim's Island!

Verdict: The adorably endearing journey Edmund (Toby Wallace) and Nim (Bindi Irwin) experience takes audiences on an amazing adventure in Return To Nim's Island. Pirates, animals, the threat of moving away from the magic island and friendship all collide to create a spectacle of ups and downs for Edmund and Nim as they bravely work together to achieve their goals whilst battling pirates!

The visually beautiful Return To Nim's Island encapsulates Australia, especially Queensland exquisitely, by showcasing the animals, landscapes, beaches and talent. Return To Nim's Island is a funny and action-packed film, that I guarantee, all families will enjoy and want to watch again and again.
