Nim Rusoe is the main protagonist of the 2008 film Nim's Island and the sequel
She is portrayed by Abigail Breslin in Nim's Island and Bindi Irwin in Return to Nim's Island.
Nim Rusoe is an eleven-year-old girl whose mother Emily, an oceanographer has died. Her dad, Jack Rusoe, a marine biologist, has told her that the oceanographer was swallowed to death by a blue whale after it was scared by a ship called the Buccaneer. Nim lives with her father on a South Pacific island and has animals for company: Selkie the sea lion, Chica the sea turtle, Fred the bearded dragon and Galileo the pelican.
Jack takes the boat for a two-day scientific mission of to find Protozoa nim (a new species of plankton); he wants to take his daughter along, but she convinces him that she needs to stay to oversee the imminent hatching of Chica's eggs and can manage on her own; they will be able to communicate by satellite phone and is left alone.
Nim is fond of Alex Rover adventure books written by Alexandra Rover (Jodie Foster), receives an email addressed to her father with an inquiry about his field of knowledge. The sender, "Alex Rover", seems to be the explorer, but is actually Alexandra, a neurotic San Franciscan who constantly imagines that she is speaking to her fictional character Alex Rover. An email conversation follows. She goes to the island with the volcano, but injures her leg and it's all swollen and bleeding.
When Nim's dad suffers a shipwreck in a hurricane, she tries to call him, but gets no answer. Nim explains the situation to "Alex", but Alexandra suffers from agoraphobia and never leaves the house or even opens the door. The buccaneers from Brisbane, Australia, come to take over the island whom Nim believes to be pirates. As the tourists approach the island, Nim hides and makes it seem uninhabitable by catapulting lizards to shore. She also makes a fire in the crater of the volcano, which fools the tourists. By rolling down boulders to simulate an avalanche, she inadvertently activates a geyser. Without revealing herself, she gets out of the crater just in time as a plume of steam bursts out. Down at the beach the tourists scramble to the boats. One of them, a boy named Edmund, sees her and catches up with Nim. He is confused by her presence and she tells him she lives on the island and he believes her to be another tourist. Meanwhile, Alexandra travels to the island to "rescue" Nim, but she, expecting "Alex" (the male character), at first rejects Alexandra.
Three years later after the events of the first film in the sequel, Nim (now a teenager) realizes that her island is now facing yet a new challenge. The operators of the ship Buccaneer have gotten permission to develop a pirate resort on the island, and Nim and her father pursue separate plans to stop them. She then runs into Edmund who has just ru...

Feb 4, 2015 · Abigail Breslin as Nim. I never wanted Nim to have a specific age. When I wrote the first book I wanted her to be whatever age the reader wanted her to be – and because she didn’t go to school or have human friends, it was easy to do that.
(Synopsis) Nim's Island is a beautiful uncharted island located in the south Pacific, occupied only by a young girl named Nim (Abigail Breslin) and her father Jack Rusoe (Gerard Butler), a research scientist studying microscopic marine organisms.
