Silverlight is Microsoft's plugin (essentially their version of Flash).
As expected, it won't work on Android, so you'd have to find a Flash (if your tablet is compatible with Flash; flash is pretty much gone on android [at least officially], but there may be a compatible APK somewhere for Ice-Cream Sandwich) or HTML5 website, or find a download of the film in the right format and transfer it over.
