This is a story that seems to be the victory of justice over evil, but it is actually a story full of love and responsibility. In this day when 3D is popular, this kind of fresh hand-painted cartoon brings people into childhood memories inadvertently, and each frame of exquisite pictures has built a wonderful picture for us, with vivid characters and abundant emotions.
This is a story that begins with tragedy. The lighthouse keeper and his two children live alone on the sea cliff. Brother Ben hates his sister Sao Ersa in every possible way and makes things difficult for him, while the honest father is very loving to his younger daughter. He didn't point to his son too much, making us mistakenly think that my brother was a selfish little boy who was unreasonable and lacked discipline. Having lost his mother, he imposed this responsibility on his disgust for his sister. His father kept his mouth shut about his mother, but he was depressed and alcoholic all day long, which made the little boy feel lonely.
At this point in the story, everything is dominated by repressed emotions. Although the pictures are beautiful, the mood is very depressed. By chance, my sister found a white coat in the box locked by her father, and went to the sea to turn into white seals and seals, but this made her grandmother even more worried, so she forcibly took the children out of the sea. Cliff, brought to the big city of Dublin, but the brother and sister were not used to the life in the city, waiting for the opportunity to escape from the grandmother's house, the brother insisted on finding the way home by himself.

On the way, they encountered a big dog who swam across the sea to find them, and the little friends walked happily. On the way home, but his sister was captured by the witch's owl, brother Ben resolutely embarked on the road to rescue his sister. Along the way, he experienced many things and people that only existed in the stories told by his mother, elves, giants, and the old man with the beard. Under the guidance of the old man with the beard, he found the witch's hometown, defeated the witch with the big dog, and rescued him. Sister Saoirse.
The story didn't end there. In the process of saving his sister, Ben learned that the witch was because he couldn't bear the grief of the giant's son. He absorbed his emotions with witchcraft and turned him into a mountain. From then on, he got lost and misunderstood that the sadness in the world stems from complex emotions. , so she used magic to absorb the emotions of many elves and turned them into cold stones. And all this, only through the singing of the sister Saoirse can release the magic and release the emotions, and the sister at this time is dying because of the lack of the protection of the white seal suit. Regardless of what his father said, brother Ben jumped into the icy sea water, found the white seal suit with the help of the seals, saved his sister's life, encouraged her to sing, and released the elves trapped in the rock with her singing. The souls of , including the lost witch and his giant son, the cheerful elves merged into the colorful haze. The younger sister, because of her nostalgia for her father and brother, resolutely took off her seal suit and chose to be an ordinary child, living an ordinary life with her father, grandmother, and brother.
