Eye-catching animation and a beautiful folkloric fairy tale with Celtic influences make this a very successful production. The hand-drawn images are truly stunning and the music also adds to the phenomenal atmosphere. You can't help but enjoy these kind of gems pur sang.

“My son, remember me in your stories and in your songs. Know that I will always love you, always.”

Original and strong animation film. Not only is the story original, but the animation is also slightly different from what we are used to these days. There were some moments in the movie where it got tedious, and I also lacked some emotional engagement with the characters at times. But then there's such a strong final scene between a mother and her family, which she has to let go, and then you forget about that.

Wonderful authentic Irish animation film about the story of the selkies where seals/humans can transform into each other. Very atmospheric with the beautiful animations and the excellent appropriate Irish traditional music. The film feels like a fairy tale about elves, giants, witches and so much more.

Furthermore, the animated film also teaches the importance of storytelling and fairy tales that sharpen children's imagination and creativity. The film is compelling and captivating to follow from beginning to end. The characters are also well developed and, above all, colorful.

Look forward to seeing Moore's first film The Secret of Kells. strong!
