If you’re a fan of unique and alternative forms of 2D animation, you might be interested in an upcoming film from Ireland called The Secret of Kells. Developed by Cartoon Saloon (the makers of Skunk Fu!) with the help of production companies in France and Belgium, this feature-length film has a wonderfully fantastic look and feel to it.
Set during the 9th Century, the story follows a young boy named Brendan who lives alongside the monks in Kells Abbey monastery. Against the backdrop of frequent Viking raids, Brendan is drawn into the creation of the legendary Book of Kells, the illuminated text that was transcribed by Celtic monks during that time period. Buena Vista International will release the movie in Europe on March 6th, although a North American release date has not yet been set. (There’s actually a good chance it may never get released over here… hardcore animation hounds should start petitioning now!) Watch the trailer below, and for more info visit the official website or production blog.
