فيلم جيد!

I loved it! Even though I watched it alone and I am 28 years old :) This movie is an very special animation: designed for children, but with a lot of deep truths about the burdens of our life as humans. Fear is designed to keep us from danger, but accepting the truths of life is our greates quest as human beings. The animation techniques are more simple than the ones used by the block busters, but still they are so beautiful and harmonious. Really, watch it with your children (or alone :)) and enjoy the ride.

I came across this film a couple years ago, on Netflix, while looking for something for my kids to watch. I have always been interested in myths & legends, so the premise appealed to me right away. The animation was absolutely beautiful. It's not realistic but it looks like something out of a children's story book. The story itself is enchanting. Even my son, 7yrs, looked up from his video game to watch. My 2 yr old daughter also stopped to watch, particularly during the singing parts. The music is hauntingly beautiful. The story is suitable for any age. It centers around selkies but also includes many other creatures and characters from legend. Think twice before passing this one over.

I've heard this film described as the "Irish equivalent of Spirited Away" and I can see that. It has a magical story with compelling child characters and many mythological elements. The story also has an emotional aspect to it that pays off.
