The film is rather nostalgic. When I first saw the title, I thought of [Nine-colored Deer], and the face of "Uncle" reminded me of the faces of "foreigners" that often appeared in some old domestic animations.
In fact, animation does not necessarily have to develop into 3D to be good. Some traditions are beautiful that cannot be discarded, and they are more powerful. When the invaders attacked Kells, there were several pictures filled with black, white, gray and red. The distribution of colors and the composition made the shock simple and direct, which can be regarded as the charm of art. And this way to interpret a story about the protection of hand-painted cultural heritage is the best.
As for the story of this film, it is quite simple, and it is reasonable that it is not favored by Oscar because it is more artistic than commercial.
