Largely hand-drawn animation, flat and unfluid, to mythologize the creation of a Medieval Irish illuminated manuscript, from which numerous visual motifs have been lifted. An esoteric cartoon (who’s it for?) to say the least, soporific to say the worst, so stylized as to eliminate the menace from a pack of wolves or the magic from a woodland fairy. With the voices of Brendan Gleeson, Mick Laly, and Evan McGuire; directed by Tomm Moore. (2009) — Duncan Shepherd
