The Secret of Kells Review



Its quite rare that you find a feature-length animation that is beautiful in every frame while still retaining a great story and holding the audience in its grasp from start to finish and beyond. the music was also very good, I found myself humming the tune 'you must go where I cannot' for a while afterwards. It is a lovely tale, suitable for all ages and has that magic that all fairy tales have while remaining very original.





The design is beautifully crafted and works to successfully combine the smooth shapes and flat colours of the characters with the colourful, textured backgrounds full of complex shapes and patterns. The characters are simplistic but fluid and smooth, built of simple shapes with flowing lines. Everything is simplified and abstracted while still clearly describing the action and story.
