Ben and his baby sister Saoirse set on a fantastic journey through the oceans to get back home, in the sea and run across a world of fairy tales, magic, and ancient Irish legends.
Few times the expression “nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Film” has been more irrelevant. Song of the Sea was nominated, but even so its value lies on its inventiveness, its ability to create a fable that stands with its own personality for its hand drawings (especially those watercolors), and its blind faith in certain forms of storytelling. Irish folklore is featured once again in Tomm Moore’s cinema, but now there’s also the sea, the legends (seals transforming into humans, fairies, and giants), and Halloween (the date when everything happens). The handicraft nature of drawing pours into the story creating a primal enchantment that both dazzles us by exposing human work and surrounds its characters with the aura of a children’s story someone created especially for us.
