A story of British occupation and how the Irish should get over it because they killed all the wolves as if they should've athey killed all the predators in their own country
This isn't an Irish story but rather a British Story of occupation and how they were right to do so they should have left well alone perhaps then wolves would still be living in Ireland and not driven to extinction in 1786 nor would have my ancestors Been driven from their homes thatched roof and all I say gather up all those that claim Irish ancestors in the New world and reclaim all of Ireland from the British and what's left of the sell out Irish that still live under oppression and don't realize it because they've gotten used to it there's only 4 million of them left perhaps a little more from the stats I've last heard. - CyberCrow4 - 8 July 2023
Unique and beautiful in both story and animation
This was truly such a wonderful experience. The story was so meaningful and something I never quite seen before. The themes of protecting nature, hurtful misconceptions and corrupted authority were so well executed, much better than I could ever describe. It made me smile, cry, fear and feel so much empathy towards the beautifully designed characters.
The animations are stunning, especially in the forest, where the lines are expressive and flow into each other. I just learned it's to reflect the caged in nature of the city and freedom of the wolves in the forest. You can tell it's from an independent film studio, and I mean it in the best way possible, both in the story and art! And there's such good songs too in a Celtic style.
Wolfwalkers is now one of my favorite movies, and if you haven't already you need to watch it!
