When Vikings attack an Irish abbey, the monks must stop work on the legendary Book of Kells and protect their home. So Brendan (voiced by Evan McGuire), the 12-year-old nephew of Abbott Cellach (Brendan Gleeson), is tasked with completing the magnificent work. Now, he must confront his most intense fears as he uses his illumination skills and braves the enchanted forest outside the abbey walls in this exhilarating, Oscar-nominated animated tale.
This looks like an Irish Miyazaki film with Samurai Jack/Thief and the Cobbler style animation. And I am so down for that. How cool is that little girl?

Dang, that looks seriously cool, I wonder if the trailer does it justice. Wonder if they’ve got a release date yet. I gotta say, chicks with retardedly long hair are cool, something about that stylization really gets to me.

It actually came out in 2009. And I completely agree about the hair, I think it’s the way it complements flowing animated movement.

I have heard from multiple sources that it is an excellent movie. It is on my list of things I must acquire.
