I loved it! Even though I watched it alone and I am 28 years old :) This movie is an very special animation: designed for children, but with a lot of deep truths about the burdens of our life as humans. Fear is designed to keep us from danger, but accepting the truths of life is our greates quest as human beings. The animation techniques are more simple than the ones used by the block busters, but still they are so beautiful and harmonious. Really, watch it with your children (or alone :)) and enjoy the ride.

I came across this film a couple years ago, on Netflix, while looking for something for my kids to watch. I have always been interested in myths & legends, so the premise appealed to me right away. The animation was absolutely beautiful. It's not realistic but it looks like something out of a children's story book. The story itself is enchanting. Even my son, 7yrs, looked up from his video game to watch. My 2 yr old daughter also stopped to watch, particularly during the singing parts. The music is hauntingly beautiful. The story is suitable for any age. It centers around selkies but also includes many other creatures and characters from legend. Think twice before passing this one over.

I've heard this film described as the "Irish equivalent of Spirited Away" and I can see that. It has a magical story with compelling child characters and many mythological elements. The story also has an emotional aspect to it that pays off.

This is just another of those random animated things that tries too hard to be unique and ends up being generic like Adventure Time or The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Animation is ugly, it has colours, but it's colourless and the backgrounds are detailed but very bland and blurry. It isn't interesting film at all, with minimalistic adventure, generic character development and last 20 minutes being melodramatic to the point that it's tedious.

If this movie is in your watchlist WATCH IT. If it's not, still watch it. If you like animated films WATCH IT! If you're wanting an emotional movie with heart to it, WATCH IT! This movie was nominated for Best Animated Picture for the year 2014, and it lost to Big Hero 6, which is hard for me to comprehend. This movie is so powerful, original, beautiful, and touching. The characters cry... A LOT! You feel it. And it makes you want to cry. This movie has been on my watchlist since 2014 but I've neglected it until now for my Decade in Review series on YouTube. I'm so glad I finally watched it. Please do yourself a favor and watch this film. I loved it... way more than I thought I would.
