I watched this again recently and I wanted to talk about how much I love the fuck out of itmostly I want to amass a collection of fan art and webms
Despite the crummy story I just never get tired of watching it.

Song of the Sea is better.

>>82378421
I always thought Song of the Sea was a bit more boring than Secret of Kells.
I hope they aren't trying to trod out some sort of formula ans will instead make a completely different movie in the future,
>>82378973
I found Kells bit dull but I agree. Both movies are fantastic, I want them to step away from Irish folklore and try something radically different but I want same artstlye.
I did not expect that the Vikings would actually kill half of the town before they left.
Also, the book having absolutely no effect on them was a nice touch.
>>82376410
Its been a while since I saw this movie. It was and remains a uniquely special animation experience for.
>>82378421
I can't believe I haven't gotten around to watching that yet.
>>82379106
>I want them to step away from Irish folklore
What if they stuck to European folklore?
>>82376410
Absolutely beautiful movie. If only the story was a little stronger, it could be one of the all time best.

I'm a sucker for wolf stories, especially man vs nature stories where they stand in for nature.
Is this the Irish Ghibli?
>>82378973
The studio is heavily subsidized by the Irish state so there will always be pressure to make stuff based on Irish myths and history,
>>82379131
Or rather the content was a book. Which then just turns out to be a just-so story about how the original Kells cover got lost.
>>82379594
I like that. American cultures and famous mythos are all fine and interesting, but it's nice seeing stuff I would've otherwise never have known about.
>>82379419
>implying nature isn't evil
>>82379594
Makes sense. Then I just hope they don't run out of ideas.
>>82379517
More like the Irish, Fleischer Studios. They've lit a fire under the local film scene but they haven't had anything with the international impact of Spirited Away, I bet some other studio will use the hype that they've built up and become the next Hollywood darling with something more Disneyesque
>>82379594
>The studio is heavily subsidized by the Irish state
Wow, that's news to me and I would've never guessed it.
How come Ireland's animation subsidies gives us The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea but Canadian subsidies gives us Johnny Test?
>>82379652
Ireland, wants to get shit to Cannes so they can get foreign art money. Canada wants to get shit to Cartoon network so they can get syndication money.
>>82379682
Interesting.
Any idea why each country chose there respective revenue stream? Is Canadian animation more connected to the US cartoon production scene while Ireland is more connected to the indie movie scene or something?
>>82379617
>implying nature isn't evil
there's a theory on that. In European culture the cities, for centuries or maybe even millenia have been fucking deathtraps. They only ever grew because people kept migrating to them. Sickness, plague, poverty, other human beings being assholes, etc.
Nature had a status of being perfect in the catholic mindset, and provided escape from the squalor of the cities.
Meanwhile, in the USA, nature was wild and untamed, full of dangerous predators, unknown plants and animals, possibly spooky ghosts and hostile natives.
Cities provided safety and protection and strength in numbers.
Ive heard this theory come up when discussing horror and the different settings used in the USA and EU. Think Cabin in the Woods vs Jack the Ripper. One in the middle of nowhere, the other in the middle of the city.
>>82379760
Bingo, you got it in one. Basically, Ireland was always a popular place to make B movies because of the Tax rates and cheap land. So there has been a kind of Gentrification of the existing scene over the last few years.
There's a good documentary about it called "It came from Connemara" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffho1E9VUL4
>>82379912
Aisling a qt.
>>82379766
On the other hand European wilderness was just as dangerous if not even more so than the American one. Full of robbers too. Travelling through the woods (which most of Europe consisted of) meant to give yourself up to unpredictable forces. Most cities were not very big and provided protection from nature.
Meanwhile the wilderness that settlers found in America (at first) was already tamed and relatively benign.
>>82379652
Canadian subsidies gave us a long history of Canadian animation. Mostly shorts which tended to dominate the Oscars.
>>82380152
the wildersness had been relatively tamed since the middle ages, not to mention that most forests were managed by the people that lived near them. The early medieval days had a lot of issues with bandits, but later on in history the people made a point of making the roads safer.
The american wildlife was relatively wild, but more importantly it was unknown to the europeans. All kinds of dragons could be hiding behind those mountains. Remember the first settlers had a really hard time not starving to death.
Although cities were not huge relative to contemporary cities, they would still count hundreds of thousands of people, if not over a million in the big ones. But they had big walls which provided protection but also caused squallor.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVPUFMwm73Y
>>82380209
I guess that depends about which period one talks and which parts of Europe. By the time of colonisation Europe definitely was mostly tamed and cultivated.
However romantisation of nature only really started with the first beginnings of industrialisation at the beginning of the 19th century which was also the time for example in which most fairy tales got written down.
>>82380259
no way, the catholic view on nature was that it was made of god, and sort of god's domain on earth. they believed it was in perfect balance and harmony, unlike the world of man that was chaotic and full of conflict. That's one of the main reasons the theory of evolution was opposed.
The romantic period romanticized nature as a means of escaping industrial life.
>>82380354
I can buy that, but did the populace share the opinion?
>>82378421
I actually preferred Secret of Kells over Song of The Sea.
>>82382696
Sauce?
>>82382763
I think it might have been drawn by one of the actual artists that worked on the film. Let me see if I can find his site. I haven't been on it in so long

>>82382832
Thank you anon.
Song of the Sea was pretty rad, why do people think it was worse than Kells? The modern setting? I loved all the parallel characters and thought the visuals and plot were stronger.
>>82380395
I couldnt tell you that, but it would've been the monks and the people educated by the monks making the literature, which in turn likely shaped the opinions of the populace.
>>82376410
Lovely movie. My only critique is that I wish they had focused a little more on the dynamic between Brendan and Aisling.Was a bit disappointed that she just kind of disappeared after the showdown with Crom.
>>82383294
It's a matter of tastes. I love SotS way more for having much clearer visuals compared to Kells often overly abstract old drawing style, and I liked the much stronger focus on the characters themselves, but lots of people think they removed what made them unique doing that.

>>82376410
So the lesson is not to prepare for anything because it's fucking pointless. I don't like that.
>>82379419
First I've heard of it. Glad they're making more.
>>82378421
To be fair being worse than Song of the Sea is hardly an insult
>>82383785
Or, you know, preserving knowledge and/or culture for later generations.
>>82383294
I don't know about others, and I'm not sure how to properly put it, but Song of The Sea felt more... scattered in its focus? Yea it had the central plot of Ben looking out for his sister, but all the mythology and folklore gets introduced, then cast aside in almost the same instance, which sort of lessens the impact of the story some in my opinion. It's still an enjoyable film, no doubt about that. But that's how I felt.
>>82384087
By having one old man running away and letting hundreds die? That's what he was advocating. Just forget about the peasants and run because preparation is stupid.

>>82383820
yeah, I think Song Of The Sea had a tighter story and the relationship between Ben and Saoirse was just darling, but that said, Secret of Kells is really quite nice and in no means a bad movie. I'm also looking forward to Wolfwalker for obvious reasons and Ellie the Ace looks cuter than ducklings hugging kittens.
>>82376410
Reminder this jewel of modern animation lost to "Geriatric kidnaps Down's syndrome kid to jungle with Dexter's lab". Coraline and Magnificent Mr. Fox both deserved to win over Up, but "we're sad and made by Pixar, so give us that fucking Oscar".
>>82385298

It's "Fantastic". I agree. It's better than Kells and Up, but people will disregard it because of the Wes Anderson meme.

Though monasteries would have been less important to literature after the 15th century.
Before that the population's feelings on the matter might have been more ambigious.
>>82376410
I really want to watch this movie but I want to watch it on DVD or Netflix if those are out of hand anywhere I can watch it online (or on my smart tv)
>>82385651
>important
Those fuckers hoarded knowledge. While working over the population to keep it dumb and docile on the peasant's coin and sweat. It's the rise of the merchant class, the rise of powerful rich cities, and the creation of the non-noble middle class that finally brought knowledge and education to the masses. Church a shit. The only instances when it educated someone was either to make them clergy or for large amounts of money.
>>82383294
I just didn't feel there to be much urgency to be behind the story. It took a long time to get rolling.
I don't think it sucked though.
>>82383771
While I totally loved the more abstract style of Kells it just wouldn't have fit into Song of the Sea. It was a style that very much fit to the movie's setting and story and would have been wrong elsewhere.

Think it has to do with i nearly drowned around the time i read about them. In the story they drowned someone. I might have taken that personally
>>82387076
Alright, that makes sense on a personal level I guess.
I live in Ireland. Saw it when it was released, but I wasn't into cartoons or animation back then, and now I'm pissed that I haven't seen it in years.
>>82376410
I feel like I've watched this but don't remember it at all. I've seen Song of the Sea though and that was pretty comfy.

I never seen any Wes Anderson movie, I only know him from Fantastic Mr Fox and my god, next to Rango this has to be one of the best animated movies I've seen in years.

Pagans. Remember that, pagan gods.
Pagans were far more interesting IMO.
>>82394599
Its so weird that our own myths basically say "Yeah there was a race of pure blooded chosen people, then we killed them all"
>>82394106
It's a pack-in with the Blu-Ray
The message of this movie confuses me somewhat. It seemed like a story about Christianity dealing with Norse invaders then it turned to "Our Paganism > Their Paganism"
>>82394724
I think the point was more like, Goodness is god, regardless of faith. As you said, the Vikings lust for gold was actually a religious thing and Ashling is a pagan deity but these are just lenses to look at god, or humanity, spirituality, whatever you want to call it.
>>82394695
Well we don't like people bigger than us.
Humanity, if we can't kill it, trap it or tame it, we'll outbreed it that's for damn sure.
The Norse had the right idea. "We'll all die someday in blood and fire, and then someone else will take up the mantle."
>>82394944
The vikings and the moguls had a similar attitude. Its kinda funny how an outlook that came from short brutal lives became the philosophy of long standing societies.
Quite enjoyed watching through that. Visually interesting and a damn nice OST just as you lads said. Thanks, haven't really been watching much of anything recently so this was a treat. I think I did prefer Song of the Sea, not that this was bad.Bloody hell though after watching Song of the Sea first I expected this to be equally comfy, my body wasn't at all prepared to see innocents murdered and the Abbott almost killed. Movie should come with a damn warning messageAlso kind of a shame they didn't go back to Aisling after Brendan grew up. Her role in the movie is far smaller than I thought it would be. She was cute though.
>>82396059
>>82394944
We also tend to think of times in the past as better, a "Golden Age" that ended for whatever reason and now everything's shittier
>>82396450
Spirits always make the mistake of helping man.
I'd actually would like a film where the fey manage to eradicate the human plague and the world remains full of magic.
So is it just me or is there something inherently funny with Abbot's voice? Everyone's voice acting has a accent yet Abbot sounds like this really bored average guy and for some reason every time he talked me and my cousin would have a stupid laughing fit the first time we saw this movie.
I mean it's not just me right?
But yeah, 10/10 film it was great.
>>82396580
People always like to think that.
>>82396752
I think I read a story like that once, a "hero" goes on an epic journey to slay a huge monster but as the monster dies the land dies around it and the man realizes that the beast's magic was actually keeping the land fertile and green as a source of magic, despite the occasional person it ate. So now the villagers have to work twice as hard to keep the land or get fucked.
Of course the villagers all chalk it up to the monster's curse and the hero suffers no drawbacks.

Interesting, is the tune it's in or the music from any source? I don't understand it but damn it's nice
>>82398194
If it does, it's usually about men failing at a harmless stage in their history, without ever having made anything of themselves and hardly deserving of scorn. More a "snuffed out before they could reach their prime" sort of deal.
Even magical beings teaming up against a human empire is not exactly the type of banal thing that I would find entertaining.
What I would like to see is the fey just turning men around and sending them back where they came from with "We'll have none of that!". Even a comedic account perhaps. Thwarting of attempts to form kingdoms or developing technology.
I so hate when the elves are portrayed as haughty or impotent faggots who don't give a shit about anything outside their forest before it's too late and men are spreading across the land like cancer eradicating all other intelligent and not very so life.

Interesting to see you use the spelling 'fey' as I have always seen/used 'fae' as in 'fae folk' (and sometimes I've seen 'fay'). Both are technically correct according to reference sites but 'fey' usually first definition is damned or fated to die, with faerie folk being second or third.
May I ask from which portion of the world you hail from? I've seen 'fey' only in the Germanic mythos and language.

>Meanwhile, in the USA, nature was wild and untamed, full of dangerous predators, unknown plants and animals, possibly spooky ghosts and hostile natives.
>Cities provided safety and protection and strength in numbers.
Except for the fact that to the highly religious folks of the 1800's, the cities of the east were the places of the devil with black smoke and liquor everywhere.
California was initially settled by folks who believed unspoiled nature was the last refuge of God in man's world. As the Gold Rush folk settled in, the railroads took over and the lands were logged clear, those folks moved north to Oregon and Washington.
The very first national parks for preservation (as opposed to those maintained for hunting or that were trimmed as giant gardens) were in fact created within the United States by those folks specifically as places where mankind can commune with the spirit of God and Jesus Christ in nature.
As a result, being basically a religious hippie is in the very soul of the peoples of the American west coastlands.
That's part of what was so ridiculous about those white trash terrorists that took over the Oregon wildlife buildings. Those lands were set aside to never be ranched on, hunted in, or developed before Oregon was even a state. For them to claim that somehow the government is keeping the lands from the people was a joke, considering none of them were even from there in the first place.
>>82406535
Those guys were mostly upset about double-jeopardy in the case of those two ranchers who let their controlled burn get out of control, and also "restrictive" policies regarding the private use of federal lands that are specifically intended for grazing and other economic activity.
If the court had just sentenced them to a fine or community service or whatever instead of several more years in prison, the whole fiasco would not have happened.
Instead, more peoples' lives were ruined, one guy died for being a jumpy idiot, and federalists/Democrats/anti-guns everywhere were provided with a fresh new strawman in spite of the occupiers never firing a single shot.
And were they really terrorists for staging an armed protest? They weren't actively seeking to instill terror in anyone, they just felt like their complaints were being ignored and that this stunt would get them attention. If they had occupied the buildings unarmed, the FBI would have just swept right in and carted them away that night, and there may have been one or two news stories about it.
But instead of actively negotiating with them, the authorities basically just told them to surrender and accept jail time while letting them live there for weeks out of fear of a shooting battle before engaging in a military-style siege anyway.
The kind of escalation that we saw from both sides was entirely unnecessary, and both sides handled their operations very poorly from start to finish.
Anyway, this is too /pol/ for my taste.

The weird part is I feel like Kells was waaaay more scattered in its focus, just jumping from one set piece to the next with it any real goal. When SotS has downtime, it can be a quiet relief from the action as they continue their adventure home, but when kells has downtime, I always feel like they're just throwing things on the screen to avoid the story.

>>82378421
Song's story didn't feel very large in scope like Kells's did. That being said, they're both great animated movies and influenced me when I was developing my own idea for one.
>>82379419
Glad to hear they're making another one. Seeing how it looks like it might have some battle stuff like Kells did, I hope they take the same route where they aren't afraid of letting you know there's bloodshed but don't go out of their way to make it 2edgy.

I actually did this a while back with SotS

I just wanted to jump into the screen and comfort her every time she was scared.
>>82393652
But wolves are extinct from Ireland thanks to the meddling English. Same with forests. Their story must be told.
>>82401908
One of my teachers animated this scene. He showed us a lot of animatics and background art from the movie. I think he also did the scene of Brendan chasing the goose.
Seeing these webms made me realize how much better the animation is in Song of the Sea though. Didn't expect it to be such a noticeable difference.

I'm Aisling and this is MY character sheet.

You still learning? Moving to industry soon?

One final one
>>82413490
Finished school last summer, already did two small jobs. I'm not working on anything at the moment so right now I'm focusing on learning more different animation software, right now I'm using TVPaint but I still need to learn more ToonBoom and AfterEffects.
>>82413800
>two small jobs.
Anything interesting?NuPPG?
>>82413800
I know ToonBoom is starting to get standard, but I kind of want to learn OpenToonz first because it's free.
I'm also going to have to learn AfterEffects some time because I'm going into general production with a minor in Studio Art.
>>82413504
Oh and if there's anything anyone wants from Song of the Sea let me know and I'll grab that too
>>82394159
Tuatha De Danann were long gone by the time St Patrick was around. Or at least they had already been forced to live underground.
>>82414075
>>82413895
Oh god that would be hilarious. But no. I'm a yuropoor so the chances of you seeing my work is pretty nonexistent.
One of them was for a museum in my country doing an exhibition about Roman gladiators. We were given pictures of roman graffiti and we basically had to make those drawings 'come to life'. Then they were projected on the walls. Very awesome first job since I actually studied Latin in school before moving to animation. Pic related, one of the graffiti we were given and I animated.
The other is a cute short film that'll probably be finished by June. I did a little bit animation, but mostly cleanup/coloring.
>>82413978
Please make some webms of Ben and Saoirse walking through the woods after they get off the bus. Some beautiful scenery there.
>>82414295
And not even new ones.
>>82414235
Sounds pretty good, I'm a Bong myself but it's still pretty unlikely. Any chance the film will make its way online?
>>82414235
That sounds like an neat idea for an exhibition actually.
>>82411381
It is best preserved, because someone actually developed a system of writing and recorded those myths. Oral tradition can only take things so far before you're playing telephone with your ancient ancestors.
>>82414429
Maybe, but first it needs to go to lots of animation festivals so it'll be a long time before they think of uploading it on vimeo or something. It might be at Annecy? They were gunning for attending Annecy, but I can't remember if they made it or not.

>Animation: 10/10
Judging by the trailer, it's as basic as basic gets. Dead simple character designs, no shading, almost always shot from the side. 2/10 or 3/10 would be a more appropriate rating.
>>82414192
>>82417404
That's the point. It was meant to look like Medieval art/Illuminated Manuscript illustration brought to life
>>82417383
But /co/ is a family forum and we're above such things here.
>>82410216
for some reason asling reminds me of Mr.Bean
>>82417483
That doesn't make it look any better.
>>82386169
>he should have let them build the wall
>they literally built the wall in the movie
>it didn't work
Good plan.
>>82417488
>But /co/ is a family forum
Srly? What kind of family do you have?
>>82417558
The point is that its meant to look super flat.
>>82417404
>Dead simple character designs, no shading, almost always shot from the side.
So? It still looks amazing.
>>82417661
Again, it doesn't make it look any better.
>>82417691
It doesn't and I just explained why. You can't call the animation 10/10 when it's so glaringly deficient.
>>82417750
Sorry, Mr. Animation Expert. I guess I'm wrong and I will never watch the movie again.
>>82417404
>>82417750
Ah, we got a man with universal taste here. Good to know.
Named my new cat Pangur Ban because of this movie (and the Irish poem).
Fucker just hides underneath the bed all day. Her eyes aren't even different colors. I haven't heard a single meow. Pangur Ban is bullshit.
>>82417802

This is vastly better, but even then it's still not 10/10 (relatively simple designs, no shading, constant sideways perspective).
>>82417866
This comment will be preserved somehow and in the future be one of the oldest surviving texts of modern English.
>>82385967
I always thought of her as a sort of spirit of Ireland, faded but enduring. Most of the myths have died out, but the country lives on.
I wonder when will this thread be killed
>>82417375
Terrorism does not necessitate murder. Are you actually fucking retarded?

Isn't that just a croissant?

Might as well call Trump protestors terrorists at this point,

Pretty sure it's one of those giant gummy worms.

Is it wrong that my first reaction to this image was "dear Lord a fairy wants to sex me, I'm going to die"

Well...typically fey would be naked. 'Wild kin' and such. And older tales had no big stigma against sex or sexual acts.
>>82414235
It's late but with Leicester winning the league and all I was a bit caught up
