Wolfwalkers

source: Wolfwalkers

Unlike Song of the Sea or Secrete of Kells which were truly good and original stories this one is cliche, and followed dumb Hollywood routine. The girl of-course has to act like a boy to be acceptable. The father, as usual does not understand or approve of it. I am yet to see a good father in western shows! such injustice to girls and men. Poor girls are told it is not good to be yourself. The rest is predictable and boring. don't waste your time.

Beautiful colors and animation of course. Love the combination of what seems a side&above view of the picture, both at the same time. Also to the music is great. Sadly, the fact that the little girl spends half of the movie crying and the father is always saying "do what you're told" gets pretty annoying after the 4th time. The end is kind of fast in comparison with 2/3 of the movie, so some things or scenes are not coherent anymore.

Beautiful, stunning and magical. It's like a fairytale drawed with pencils and acuarela on an old book. A piece of art! The story is written with love and lot of symbolism. Disney is great, but this is an oasis from any angle you want to see it!

An absolutely breath taking film, a must watch and my now favorite film of 2020. You will not regret the experience that this film has to offer.

This film start with a man attack by a herd of wolves, and he save by two female scene! As turnout, this film is about Robyn, and Mebh need to team up to save Mebh's mother from the killing of "Lord Protector"! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the running scene, overuse of the howl scene, overuse of the doing home chore scene, overuse of the dreaming scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the tripping scene, overuse of the playing dumb scene, and overuse of the walking scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, after the dead of Lord Protector, family of Robyn, and family of Mebh living together! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

I expected great things from Tomm Moore, have been waiting for this for a long while and I'm sad to have watched what I watched. It's high quality animation and it will probably keep a child's attention for 90 minutes but the script has no soul or even sense whatsoever. Just a lot of crude stereotypes doing things stereotypically. Whatever points I give, are for the visual part only. Credit where it's due.

Wolfwalkers is a story about Robyn, voiced by Honor Kneafsey, an English girl in a small Irish town of Kilkenny, 1650. Her father Bill, voiced by Sean Bean, is tasked with trying to root out the wolves in the forest surrounding the town. Robyn hopes to be a skilled hunter like her father, imitating him with her own cross bow and pet falcon Merlin. This film takes place during a time of war and occupation, Robyn's father working under the tyrannical Lord Protector Cromwell, voiced by Simon McBurney. The Lord Proctor is trying to quell other Irish rebellions and keep the populace subdued. This puts pressure on Bill to quickly take care of the wolf problem, or face dire consequences. Soon Robyn comes into contact with the infamous wolfwalkers, lead by another girl Mebh. Robyn learns that the wolfwalkers are not as bad as she has been led to believe and has to come to terms with this conflict between wanting to be like her hunter father, and protecting the humanity of the wolves and wolfwalker. Cartoon Saloon's style of hand drawn animation is some of the most beautiful I've seen. Every frame has intricate, meticulous details that make their films a unique visual delight to behold. This film has numerous cinematic shots and sequences that push the boundaries of what can be done in the medium. Overall this is an excellent film, on par with their other brilliant feature length animated films The Breadwinner and Song of the Sea. I would strongly recommend anyone give this film a watch. 9/10.

With a story as touching, relevant and engaging as any you've encountered from a Japanese studio you may be familiar with, and similarly exquisitely hand crafted, you will devour, gobble, gorge, nay - wolf down this enchanting, endearing and captivating animation set in Kilkenny, Ireland during the times the countries neighbour was going through its despotic, tyrannical, dictator days (days not than long since passed if we're honest). Plenty of metaphor and allegory to sink your canines into but just as easily taken as a genuinely honest tale of right over wrong, good conquering evil and the perpetual endurance of love, truth and nature.
