The Secret of Kells (2009)

A collaboration between French, Belgian and Irish studios, I was surprised to find an Irish animated film, as this is only one of two that I know of to exist.

Stranger still, it is set in a Abbey, which doesn't seem like the kind of setting for a animated film.

It's great to see the Irish mythology come to life, as well as the music, which also captures that Irish feel.

While the animation has been praised, I felt the animation was a bit lacking as the animation style is quite simple, compared to and the CG features which are so plentiful today.

It is an interesting film to watch, but I feel that it doesn't make as big of an impression as some of the other animated films that have come out in the last decade.
