Heavy and solemn are good words.

The coolest animation I've seen this year! ! ! none of them

Tom Moore's debut, hand-drawn animation is always respectable, almost every frame is beautiful, with just the right music, it is indeed a pure work of art. The lines of the characters are clean and simple, the background is complex and gorgeous, and the connotation has the potential for multiple interpretations, but overall it is not as agile, magnificent and complete as [Song of the Sea]. The narrative is separated from the front and back. The fresh and dreamy children's growth story is connected with the brutal reality of massacre and escape. The second half (invasion, escape, growth, inheritance, return home) only accounts for 1/4 of the length, and the rhythm is too fast. The inner pages of the Book of Kells, which Edan and Brandon uphold, have never been revealed, sublimating it into a metaphor for universal knowledge and spiritual wealth. Several beautiful scenes: dense and intricate scaffolding in the background; simple chalk sketches; Ashiline sitting on the window edge of the tower and humming a ballad (ancient Irish poem "Pangur Bán"), letting the cat's soul steal it Out the key; the biting snake lost its crystal eye and devoured itself frantically; after the Vikings attacked, the black, red and white color matching, snowflakes and flaming ruins in the sky; the growth process was condensed with a triptych of spring, summer and autumn.
