When I first saw this scene in #TheSecretOfKells I knew I needed it as a desktop #wallpaper. Now I can, and to whomever finds this, you can too.
Found another beautiful piece of animated art tonight. #TheSecretOfKells, originally released in Europe, is about a boy living with his uncle, where the Uncle refuses to let the boy leave the safety of the walls. That is, until a monk, known by the uncle, shows up to show the boy the truth about what lies outside the wall. The visuals are clean, yet abstract. I felt like I was watching a painting in motion. I'll give this a recommendation for young, old, and anyone in between.

Meg Elison reviews 2009’s animated film The Secret of Kells, which draws inspiration from the recently-digitized Book of Kells, a fabulously illuminated edition of the gospels. But while the film is set at a Christian monastery, it is full of encounters with Paganism, and these encounters are what will draw viewers back to the film again and again.

The Wild Hunt
In Temple Street this morning for my youngest’s twice yearly check-up with the national metabolic centre. The two cats who hang out in the hospital exterior spaces and fire escapes were both out to greet us. We call this one Pangur Bán. #PKU #TempleSt #ChildrensHospital #TimeForYourCheckUp #RareDisease #Mastodaoine #CatsOfMastodon #PangurBán #TheSecretOfKells

Just watched The Secret of Kells again, the first of three fantastic films based on Irish folklore by animator Tomm Moore. The film has a very distinct flat visual style, which makes me think of what it might look like if Genndy Tartakovsky was a cubist. I’m not of Irish heritage myself, but I’ve always been fascinated by the traditions and folklore of the culture.

I’ll probably be following this up with Song of the Sea and WolfWalkers in the coming weeks. They’re all so good in different ways that it’s hard to pick a favorite. If you like animation and Irish folktales, see all three!
