Digital animation is just not for me so naturally I was very disappointed when Big Hero 6 won the Oscar over the other clap-trap that seem very impersonal to me. This piece of animation should have been honoured. I really DO NOT like animation at all, but in this exquisitely hand drawn animation, I was brought back to being nine or ten some 30 years ago when anime or cartoons were an all together different ballgame. Not that I would call Song of the Sea a cartoon. It is a little masterpiece the likes of which we rarely see these days. The animation has great qualities with a wonderful sibling relationship, a family dog one could love and this film is instructive and educational in that we get many angles about Irish mythology, if that is the right word to use. Song of the Sea is just a beautiful experience.
