The first feature animation from Kilkenny’s Cartoon Saloon which combined their unique style with Irish myth, legend and music.&nbsp; 12-year-old Brendan is growing up within the walls of the Abbey. Watching the monks work on the legendary Book of Kells he finds himself on a secret quest that will take him for the first time ever beyond the abbey’s walls into the enchanted forest where dangerous mythical creatures hide. With the terrifying Viking hordes closing in, will Brendan succeed in saving the sacred book and the monastery?

Rún Cheannanais Mhóir / The Secret of Kells

Useful for Primary Visual Arts and SESE, discussing Ireland in the 9th century, the Viking Expansion, Book of Kells, folklore mythology, animation and character design.

Following their success with The Secret of Kells, the reputation of Kilkenny’s Cartoon Saloon went from strength to strength with the release of this animation. The studio’s increasingly recognisable style acquires new depth, drawing on the traditional selkie myth and music of Kíla. When Ben and Saoirse are sent to live with their Granny in the city, they quickly feel the pull back to their family home by the sea. Their journey becomes a race against time as they are drawn into a world Ben recalls from his mother’s folktales, filled with fairies and spirit folk who want to be free. It soon becomes clear to Ben that Saoirse, who can turn into a seal, is the key to their survival.&nbsp;

Amhrán na Mara / Song of the Sea

Useful for Primary Visual Arts, SESE and SPHE, discussing animation, colour and emotion, Irish mythology and folklore as well as themes of loss and family.

The latest hit from Kilkenny’s Cartoon Saloon, this stunningly imagined world draws on history and mythology to create a nature-themed fantasy for our times. Set in 1650 during English colonial rule, a time when wolves stalked the land, hunter Bill is ordered by Cromwell to venture to an outpost and kill a roaming wolfpack before it reaches the city. His daughter Robyn follows him into the woods where she meets a girl, Mebh, a legendary wolfwalker who has a wolf form. This is a gripping action film, with a vivid animation style that has evolved from the studio’s first feature.
