Review of Song of the Sea (2014) by Foxgrove — 12 Jul 2015

This gorgeously designed mythical fairy tale takes us back to the hand drawn style of animation and is visually every bit as impressive as any computer generated animation by Pixar or Dreamworks. The story is also so much more even if its complexity causes the scratching of one’s head in puzzlement from time to time.

This is definitely not a story that kids will understand and even a few adults will be left somewhat confused. Never-the less it is a thing of beauty and originality that deserves your money far more than the likes of ‘Minions’ and ‘Big Hero Six’ ever could.

The film is also enriched by a beautiful score and a lovely end titles ballad, the ‘Song of the Sea’.
