Irish Masterpiece
Beautiful story going back to old Ireland the animation is spot on. Really enjoyed this. Love that they threw in a couple of Irish words. Alot of Irish actors used, you would know the voices instantly. Brings you back to learning about Irish folklore in school but also brings in true history about Ireland being taken over by the English so also educational. Little bit of comedy too which brings in the Irish way of going on. Definitely would recommend for Children and Adults alike. Would be a good one for movie day in school as its only 1hour 30 mins long. Music in it also lends itself to mixing old Irish with modern tendencies. Great all round. - evanston_dad - 10 May 2022
Nice Change of Animation Style
The animation in "Wolfwalkers" is dazzling and a nice change of pace from that slick, computer-generated look of Pixar, but I have to admit that I just didn't click much with this movie. I think a lot of it was that I just wasn't in the mood for a kid-oriented animated film, but it was family movie night and this one got the vote.
Though I did like this better than "Soul," the film that competed against it and beat it for the Best Animated Feature Oscar at the 2020 Academy Awards.
Grade: B.
