1. For its paced and magical weaving of Irish legends into an enchanting tale of wonder
2. For its stunningly beautiful animated odyssey that goes where CGI and Pixar could never venture
3. For reminding us of the power of our own fables in addressing the big issues of life in unexpectedly moving ways we had possibly forgotten
4. For enthrallingly transporting a child to a place where its eyes are transfixed on the screen like rarely before
5. For letting an old cynic be that child
department of speculation 
I’ll get on to the Cynic’s Union and arrange a private screening. I’m all for revisiting my childhood, but I couldn’t let anyone see.
Insidious 3 is due out soon, Tara. Maybe make it a double-bill to balance things out. It really is a wee gem.
Isn’t it utterly gorgeous and enchanting? My kids loved it too. 🙂
Also, I loved the bus driver.
Aaah Jaysis, wasn’t he grea’ wha’. Loved him. Your kids are the perfect age for it. I hope they saw it on their visit back to the auld sod. It was just beguiling from start to finish 🙂
Actually, we saw it here a couple of months ago. I was really surprised when I found it wasn’t even out in Ireland yet. (Then we watched it again on Netflix.)
It has beautiful hand Drawn animation which means no one will see it. It’s a shame that movies like this get pushed to the art house theaters and not the big ones 😦
Isn’t it just. I think I read about that animation being available to view this summer. Or maybe it was something else. Thanks for dropping in.
I’ve always felt that Studio G films have an adult feel to them, even when they are about children, and I got the same vibe from this guy’s movies. Lovely stuff! 🙂
