The secret of Kells

I had not seen or heard about "the secret of Kells" until the academy award nomination for best animated feature some time ago. Last night I had my first chance to see it in full length - and it was a really mindblowing experience. The artwork is so beautifully done. And the mythological story is so magic and captivating. A beautiful story about the power of the imagination in hard times.

Here is a little sample. But I really do recommend you to do whatever you can to get a chance to see the whole thing. Don't miss it!



And if you want to know a little more "behind the scenes"-stuff you can read this AWN article here, where Karl Cohen talks with director Tomm Moore, exploring both the historical and thematic origins of the film. Very interesting!
