The Secret of Kells & Wolfwalkers May 31, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of Chick Flicks, Bridget and Mckenzie wander deep into an Irish forest to talk about the films Secret of Kells and Wolfwalkers.

Secret of Kells (2009) and Wolfwalkers (2020) were both produced by the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon. Both films feature precocious kids who form a bond with mysterious spiritfolk, and act far braver than the adults in their lives. Tune in to hear why we love this unique style of animation and how it can be used to tell better stories. (No offense to P*xar.)
