the secret of kells (tom moore)

to be honest, i thought it was going to be a bit too hippie for me. however, i was proved wrong. yes, the actual last 30 secs of the film, when they show you the real book of kells, is horrible, both the images and the horrendous folk music, but i found i actually really enjoyed the rest of the film. i loved the animation, especially the 2d layered scenes, and all the geometrical design work, as well as the shadow play. just mesmerising. and the story itself is a fantastic classic adventure. with books. great! i found the white fairy girl rather irritating at the beginning, but i then i kind of got used to her (only kind of). but, all in all, a joy to watch.
