Watching this movie, I didn't know what to expect. The animation style isn't like anything I've ever seen and once the movie concluded, I was tear-eyed on how just much this movie fascinated me. The storytelling, the direction of where it went was so unpredictable that seeing something refreshingly new gives me a great insight on watching Anime films of all kinds I've begun exploring different directors, animation styles, & seeing the direction of where it went. Song of the Sea is the first Animated flick I've seen that wasn't American nor Japanese. It was refreshing to see this and have a different perspective. You cannot compare this with something else because, to me, it's downright impossible to even compare Song of the Sea to anything else but magnificently, beautifully, and lovingly a masterpiece in Animation cinema. The director, Tomm Moore, has done it again and this is only his SECOND film. The first was titled The Secret of Kells and I've heard many MANY good things on that one as well. With Song off the Sea, not only did I ind the story interesting, but the music was heavenly. I love music in film that can tell the story. Sometimes words aren't always needed, the music carries the action & emotion & progresses the story. I felt terrible for the father & by the end of the film, you can see the genuine evolution of siblings Ben & Saoirse turn from sour to sweet. I was in love with this film and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone a fan of storytelling, Animation, & just all around an adventurous, ambitious, and emotionally-gripping film. Sorry I glossed over the details on what the story's about, but I wouldn't to spoil anything. Tomm Moore's films are going places I tell you and as one of his audience members, it's a staple in Animated cinema.
