Trivia
This movie is based on the Newbery Award winning book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell. The book was based on the true story of a woman left behind on the Channel Islands by missionaries in the early 1800s. She lived alone on one of the islands for eighteen years and died of dysentery seven weeks after she was rescued and brought to the mainland. She is buried in the graveyard of the Santa Barbara Mission in California.
Quotes
Karana:
Your eyes are like those of a fox and as I don't trust a sly fox I do not trust you either dog. That would be a good name for you. I will call you Rontu. It means fox eyes.
Goofs
Karana's hair does not grow any longer after the 18 years she's been on the Channel Islands. However, hair does have a terminal length that varies with the individual. Once it reaches that point, it stops growing.
