Personal Rating:

Throughout this film review, I offer my thoughts on the stunning work of animation that is "Song of the Sea", a 2014 film directed by Tomm Moore and produced by Cartoon Saloon. I love this film primarily for how it intertwines Celtic mythology, something I have been passionate about since a young age, with a very human tale of loss and healing in a way that does not talk down to younger viewers. For a children's film that utilizes themes of fantasy and magic,"Song of the Sea" manages to be honest about the complexities of the human condition as well as the capacity for emotional growth.
