Introduction
A star falls; the chase begins.
Young Tristan Thorn is having trouble winning the heart of his one true love, Victoria. When the pair witness a falling star, Tristan vows to return with the celestial treasure in exchange for Victoria’s hand in marriage. Retrieving the star, Yvaine, however, means crossing The Wall, a mystical barrier between our world and the magical world of Stormhold where the star’s true power is known and coveted viciously. Tristan’s journey turns out to be nothing like he intended when he suddenly finds himself in a race against a series of unsavory characters in order to return home with the star.
[Tristan and Yvaine are imprisoned in the pirate ship] Yvaine: Tell me about Victoria, then. Tristan: Well, she... she... There's nothing more to tell you. Yvaine: The little I know about love is that it's unconditional. It's not something you can buy. Tristan: Hang on! This wasn't about me buying her love. This was a way for me to prove to her how I felt. Yvaine: Ah... And what's she doing to prove how she feels about you? Tristan: Well... Look, Yvaine, you'll understand when you meet her, all right? If we don't get murdered by pirates first. Yvaine: Mmm... Murdered by pirates. Heart torn out and eaten. Meet Victoria. I can't quite decide which sounds more fun...

The rescuer’s crew faces terrifying monsters and horrifying death as they trek through Skull Island’s impossible jungles to rescue Ann from the clutches of the giant ape.
Carl Denham: Ann, I'm telling you - you're perfect. Look at you. You're the saddest girl I've ever met. You're gonna make them weep, Ann. You're gonna break their hearts. Ann Darrow: See, that's where you're wrong, Mr. Denham. I make people laugh, that's what I do. Good luck with your picture. Carl Denham: Ann? Miss Darrow, please! I'm offering you money. Adventure, fame, the thrill of a lifetime, and a long sea voyage. You want to read a script? Jack Driscoll's turning in a draft as we speak. Ann Darrow: Jack Driscoll? Carl Denham: Sure, why? Wait. You know him? Ann Darrow: No, not personally. I've seen his plays. Carl Denham: What a writer, huh? And let me tell you, Ann. Jack Driscoll does not want just anyone starring in this picture. He said to me, "Carl, somewhere out there is a woman born to play this role." And as soon as I saw you, I knew.
Ann Darrow: Knew what? Carl Denham: It was always going to be you.

Based on the book by Witi Ihimaera
Characters
Paikea played by Keisha Castle-HughesKoro played by Rawiri ParateneNanny Flowers played by Vicky HaughtonPorourangi played by Cliff CurtisUncle Rawiri played by Grant RoaHemi played by Mana Taumaunu
Introduction
One young girl dared to confront the past, change the present and determine the future.
On the east coast of New Zealand, the Whangara people believe their presence there dates back a thousand years or more to a single ancestor, Paikea, who escaped death when his canoe capsized by riding to shore on the back of a whale. From then on, Whangara chiefs, always the first-born, always male, have been considered Paikea's direct descendants. Pai, an 11-year-old girl in a patriarchal New Zealand tribe, believes she is destined to be the new chief. But her grandfather Koro is bound by tradition to pick a male leader. Pai loves Koro more than anyone in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of tradition to fulfill her destiny.
Paikea: A long time ago, my ancestor Paikea came to this place on the back of a whale. Since then, in every generation of my family, the first born son has carried his name and become the leader of our tribe... until now.

Heroes. Giants. Villains. Wizards. True Love. - Not just your basic, average, everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum fairy tale.
She gets kidnapped. He gets killed. But it all ends up okay.
When the lovely Buttercup is kidnapped by a ghastly gang intent on fermenting an international incident they find they are pursued by the Dread Pirate Roberts. After everyone is nasty Prince Humperdinck to whom Buttercup is now betrothed but who seems to care little for her continued survival. The stage is set for swordfights, monsters, and tortures - but will Grandpa be allowed to finish telling the story with all these kissy bits?
The Grandson: A book? Grandpa: That's right. When I was your age, television was called books. And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you. The Grandson: Has it got any sports in it? Grandpa: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... The Grandson: Doesn't sound too bad. I'll try to stay awake. Grandpa: Oh, well, thank you very much, very nice of you. Your vote of confidence is overwhelming.
