(PCM) Academy Award-nominated director Tomm Moore’s Song of the Sea has received high praises since its premiere at 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.
Making its U.S. debut in select New York theaters December 19, 2014, Song of the Sea was released theatrically in France, Luxembourg, and Belgium on December 10, 2014.
Already boasting a very fresh critics’ score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, Song of the Sea has been praised by the Hollywood Reporter‘s Boyd van Hoeij as a “satisfying smack in the face of computer-generated 3D animation.”
Written by Will Collins, Song of the Sea is based on the ancient Celtic myth of the selkie. Read below for the official synopsis and visit Song of the Sea‘s official Facebook and website for for info and updates! Watch the trailer for Song of the Sea below.
“Song of the Sea” tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse – the last Seal-child – who embark on a fantastic journey across a fading world of ancient legend and magic in an attempt to return to their home by the sea.
The film takes inspiration from the mythological Selkies of Irish folklore, who live as seals in the sea but become humans on land.
“Song of the Sea” features the voices of Brendan Gleeson, Fionnula Flanagan, David Rawle, Lisa Hannigan, Pat Shortt and Jon Kenny.
Music is by composer Bruno Coulais and Irish band Kíla, both of whom previously collaborated on “The Secret of Kells.”
Liam Hourican, Lucy O’Connell, Colm O’Snodaigh, and Kevin Swierscz also star.
