The onslaught of children’s fantasy films continues with “Nim’s Island,” a tale about young Nim (Abigail Breslin) who lives a Robinson Crusoe-like existence on a remote island with her scientist father (Gerald Butler). When her dad goes missing, Nim must use her imagination and the help of her favorite author (Jodie Foster) to combat an “invading force” on the island. While it’s not in the same league as “Narnia” or “Spiderwick Chronicles,” “Nim’s Island” is cute and emotional. Kids will love it, adults may be bored. Three featurettes, director audio commentary and cast commentary accompany the DVD. On Blu-ray, there are interactive games and a picture book as well. Price: $29.98 to $39.48. Rent or buy: Good kid rental.
