The Secret of Kells (2009 movie)

The Secret of Kells is a movie that not very many people know about. It was released to small fanfare in America and a very limited theater base. But if anyone has the chance to watch it, you will not be disappointed.

I hope. There isn't very much to be disappointed with in this movie. I would have liked to see more of the forest faery in the story, because I liked her a lot, but the limits put upon her make her more active in your own imagination. Unlike most movies I watch, The Secret of Kells works within the constraints of its length. It manages to move steadily, rather than quickly changing character as it was needed (like the new Alice in Wonderland...) The movie is a work of art, done completely in hand-worked animation without a computer. It is original and very "Beautiful" in more than just its graphics.
