Song of the Sea is a film that has already received a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination and now it is finally hitting the big screen.
Song of the Sea
Song of the Sea is set to be an unmissable animation movie this weekend as Tomm Moore returns to the director's chair for his first feature since The Secret of Kells.
The Secret of Kells was the movie - also Oscar nominated - that put studio Cartoon Saloon on the map and Song of the Sea is another movie gem.
Song of the Sea has hit the big screen today and we have a great new clip to whet your appetite:
Song of the Sea is a movie that explores Irish/Celtic folklore and myth and is set to be unlike any other animation movie that hits the big screen this year.
David Rawle lends his voice to the central character of Ben and is joined on the voice cast list by Brendan Gleeson, Fionnula Flanagan, Lisa Hannigan, and Lucy O'Connell.
Song of the Sea tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse - the last Seal-child - who embark on a fantastic journey across a fading world of ancient legend and magic in an attempt to return to their home by the sea. The film takes inspiration from the mythological Selkies of Irish folklore, who live as seals in the sea but become humans on land.
Song of the Sea is out now.
