From the creators of the Academy Award®-nominated The Secret of Kells comes a breathtakingly gorgeous, hand-drawn masterpiece. Based on the Irish legend of the Selkies, Song of the Sea tells the story of the last seal-child, Saoirse, and her brother Ben, who go on an epic journey to save the world of magic and discover secrets of their past. Pursued by the owl witch, Macha, and a host of ancient and mythical creatures, Saoirse and Ben race against time to awaken Saoirse’s powers and keep the spirit world from disappearing forever. As enthralling for adults as for children young and old, Song of the Sea is a wonder of magical storytelling and visual splendor that is destined to become a classic.

Boulder Weekly

Michael J. Casey

Based on Irish folklore and soaked with mythic iconography, "Song of the Sea" confronts loss and sorrow head-on.

Prettily animated family adventure infused with Irish folklore and traditional Celtic design makes for a change of pace from slick Hollywood cartoons.

This is an outstanding work: well animated, well designed, well told.

Song Of The Sea is visually lush, but it's story is never too cluttered or busy. It doesn't depend on manic sugar rush energy to keep its intended audience of kids attention, but rather seeks to draw them into a fascinating, unique world.

Song of the Sea is a stunning, magical piece of animation and an entertaining return for Tomm Moore and Cartoon Saloon.
