Synopsis
Following his debut feature THE SECRET OF KELLS, animation wunderkind Tomm Moore scores a second Oscar nomination with SONG OF THE SEA, a modern fairy tale which stays true to the celebrated 2D animation style of Cartoon Saloon with a beautiful story for the whole family.
The film tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse – the last Seal-child – who embark on a fantastic journey back to their home by the Sea, across a fading world of ancient Irish legends and magic, a world that needs Saoirse to find her voice and sing the ‘Song of the Sea’ to save all of fairy kind from being lost forever.
