Jim Button and the Wild 13 Ratings & Reviews

RichardAugust 6, 2025

Following the heartfelt adventure of Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver, this second chapter directed by Dennis Gansel continues the fantastical journey with even grander stakes. Having grown up with the Augsburger Puppenkiste puppet version, it’s a joy to see the world of Morrowland brought to life with such vibrant cinematic craftsmanship and emotional sincerity. In this installment, Jim and Luke face the notorious pirate crew, the Wild 13, while Jim pursues answers about his mysterious origins. The film embraces themes of identity, courage and resilience while still staying faithful to its playful roots. ⚓ Highlights: Jim’s emotional journey deepens, blending fantasy with self-discovery The Wild 13 are comically menacing, adding flair to the adventure Rich production design with exotic locations and mystical characters Continued chemistry between Solomon Gordon and Henning Baum drives the story Though it’s slightly more action-heavy than the first film, it retains the charm and innocence that made the original endearing. For anyone who grew up with the puppet show or who simply loves timeless stories with heart—it’s a satisfying, visually enchanting continuation.
