Second article I read this morning by Sami that has a misspelling. Really throwing me off, can you read your articles word for word before posting please?
 
This was really good. Beautifully animated, great voice acting and a great story too. The nominations are well deserved, in my opinion!
 
I've seen people frustrated and dismayed that this film's getting a relatively small amount of attention from viewers because it's on a smaller streaming service, and because last years' films didn't get to enjoy full-force theater rollouts (for obvious reasons). If cartoon fans are really pulling their hair out over it being overshadowed, I'm willing to bet it really is something special!

That was a great movie that me and my 9yrs old daughter watched with delight. The “2D-3D” animation is fantastic.

Thrust me, this 30 year old guy also watched it with delight. The studio makes some amazing movies and I will wholeheartedly recommend watching them with her.

Yah, the studio have made some great films the last 10 years or so. Bring back old style drawn animation with great stories. So this being overlooked is really sad, but hopefully nominations and winning awards will bring it into people consciousnesses.
 
48 years of “Annie Awards” and I still don’t know who gives them or who has ever won any.
 
Yeah, them werewolves were great, although not quite as good as Song of the Sea. Terrific seeing some good European movies once in a while.
 
Not only for kids folks! This is a movie for everyone.

Me and my wife loved this movie. A deeply moving story with gorgeous animation and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. Better than a lot of 'adult' movies these days.

Agreed! My wife and I were completely mesmerized by this movie. One of the most gorgeous pieces of art I've ever seen. Pause any frame, and it could be framed. The story? Deep, complex, heartwarming... I highly recommend it to anyone. Good for the team who made this film!

What's up with the giant orange turkey tail/peacock tail on that one character? Is it supposed to be a halo? If it was the 80s, I'd say it must be "mall hair".
