I skipped over this one for a while before actually watching it with my daughter. I didn't know what The Book of Kells was and the leafy eyed cover image just didn't do it for me. Then when I started watching it I had to wiki search it like I do with anything I'm curious about.

After that, I totally understood that the animation is actually inspired by the images in the book and the importance of it "bringing darkness to light" means Illumination or enlightenment by sharing the New Testament gospels with the people.

. There really isn't much depth to any of the characters but the story, art, and a very lovely fairy song wins it for me.
