I’m not crying you’re crying

Gorgeous style and powerful story. Highly recommended.

Beautiful movie to watch , i'd say one of the best animated films of the decade , magical and wonderful
The animation style was gorgeous , easily recommended.

[Apple TV +] Overwhelming animated film that's full of brilliant ideas, beautiful designs and old-school animation. This story of growth (perhaps also coming out), confronts freedom with oppression, religion with paganism. The dark, squared village faces the colorful, infinite forest. The own identity (the wolf) that must be found and, above all, accepted, is a theme that respects the intelligence of the viewers.

Beautiful animation. Great storytelling (if you overlook the undercurrent of animism conquering Christianity, or more broadly, the old Irish gods casting out the God of the conquering British.) Fun and fantasy all wrapped up within exquisite artistry. I give this film a 9 (superb) out of 10. [Animated Folktale]

Cartoon Saloon did it again. Gogreous story and even more perfect animation. The lines, the colors, the music. It all fits perfectly to turn this into the best animation movie of the year. Seen in trilogy with their other two movies about Irisih history/folklore might make it even better 10/10 all the way.

Wonderful story and animation. I liked it a lot.

Great visual art but the story and related emotions are nowhere close to "Song of the Sea".

Easily Cartoon Saloon’s most well defined artistic statement so far. I’ve praised the visual style and sound with all of their previous releases, however they still manage to take it to the next level here. It looks amazing; the imperfect drawing style, warm colour palette and compositional choices are all very distinct. I especially love the establishing shots of the medieval village and the psychedelic effects used during the forest sequences. However, for a while I was a little worried that the story wasn’t going to match the amazing production. The first act consists a lot of familiar tropes. It’s a predictable story with the types of characters you’ve seen before. I kinda had the film figured out in my head, but after an incredible sequence involving the song Running with the Wolves it actually starts to subvert some of your expectations. Moreover, even if it decides to go for a cliché beat, it’ll present that in a way that feels very specific to the style of this film. All in all, I’d consider this to be one of the better animated films I’ve seen in a while.

7.5/10

no cause when did cartoon saloon open up my brain to find the perfect combination of things to put in a movie? i would sue for breach of privacy, but it’s so pretty

This reminded me of a classic Disney movie of the 40's. Clean, wholesome, entertaining, fun, whimsical, magical, moral etc. etc. etc.
On so many levels this is such a good film, but for me the best and most relevant part is there was nothing WOKE about it. Felt like I was transported back to a time when movies and tv were for entertaining, not pushing an agenda.
Maybe there's hope after all.

Wonderful story with great animation and a brilliant soundtrack. Put it on for my 2 girls and I ended up glued to it as much as them. Big thumbs up :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Beautiful music, animation and story. One of the best films I've ever seen.

Such a wonderful story and art!

Just in case you need to know before watching: Does any animal die in this film? Answer: [spoiler] No [/spoiler]

_Wolfwalkers_ is a bright ink transfusion that fills you with life.

A gorgeous animated feature with a heart as big as the countryside and as pure as the Irish forests, _Wolfwalkers_ has a story for the kids, poetry for the adults, and magic enough for everyone.

And it wasn't even a musical!

Gorgeous animation and nice storytelling!

So the story isn't original, there's no surprises what happens.....
[spoiler] it's a better made 'Brother bear' or 'Brave' [/spoiler]

It is however, absolutely beautiful. Gorgeously designed, the beauty of the magical parts are like the book ends of the original 'Watership Down'.

Importantly - the kids loved it, had it on again the next morning.

Very original a beautiful animation.

I wanna get bitten by a wolf! :hearts:
Love that aurora song!

The best example of "Every Frame a Painting". This movie is beautiful and it's on a level of its own.
As for story and characters: a messy and not so interesting beginning, a phenomenal mid portion (mostly thanks to Mebh) and a not great (imo) but satisfying conclusion.
Need more!
