Great submitted by jaegerla on January 17, 2011, 9:10am Gorgeous animation, a good story, irish accents all around- I didn't want to blink throughout the entire movie because it would mean missing a second of it.

Beautiful submitted by asopijw65 on August 4, 2014, 8:33pm Beautiful film! It was nominated for an Academy Award as well.

Ok submitted by EllieN-W on July 31, 2015, 4:18pm It was ok because it was sorta scary. But the animation and story were awesome.

stunning film submitted by zaraz on August 7, 2022, 12:28am this film is beautiful— the story, the art, the music, and the voice cast were all amazing. truly a wonderful animated picture.

Luminous submitted by FordAlpha on July 14, 2023, 10:50pm The shapes, the colors, the light -- this film is saturated with beauty. Even with the highly stylized animation -- or perhaps because of it -- there are some genuinely scary moments that may be too intense for young children. However, my kids from about age 8 and up have loved it, especially my daughter who favors the somewhat-spooky.
