Ever HEARD of Wolfwalkers? 

I'm so glad they didn't go the "single father is terrible at caring for child" trope. It's so overused. Besides, pretty sure we can all agree this father/daughter relationship is one of the best things in the movie. The overall message of family absolutely sold it for me.

“WOW SHE BECAME A FU-“ God that killed me

a reason she sounds British a lot but sometimes Irish is essentially a stage in a new country were a person is about to complete the accent of that area but they still keep their original accent so their vocal chords are conflicted on what accent

What’s interesting about Lord Protector’s death is that he was bitten before letting go, meaning he’d rather die than become what he most hated

For anyone who doesn’t know, the dad’s name is Bill and the mom’s name is Móll

The lord protector is literally Oliver freaking Cromwell, the English dictator who began and leaded the conquering of island ‘because god said so’. I think it’s cool.

One of the things I loved in this movie is the difference between Mebh's wolf form and Robyn's. Mebh looks like a darker brown Irish wolf that was more common during this time period while Robyn appears like a grey wolf which was more common in the rest of Europe. It is just a small detail but one I adore

Also awesome stylization/animation note that i noticed: the wolfwalkers and wolfs are drawn more sketchy and rough, while Robyn and the father are more polished, until she stands up to her father and her design also turns more sketchy as she embraces the wild

“Ever heard of Wolfwalkers?” Yes. *End of video, lol*

The villain seems simple and even understandable until you realize he's Oliver Cromwell, someone who had a great part in the colonization of Irland (I love how subtle the theme of the colonization is in this movie. You hear he's trying to control the people, anything done against him even something as simple as joke gets people punished, he has to leave because of some riot, keeps using the word ''uncivilized'' when talking about Kilkenny, and that's enough). He's a very dark chapter in the country's history and an irish guy even told that seeing him falling of a cliff (not his actual death) was pretty damn cathartic. Also, he didn't want to end the wolves just to keep people from rioting. The killing of the wolves was seen as a symbol of the subjugation. Like ''Oh, we managed to kill a thing you feared for so long! Imagine the power we have, and what we'll do to you, if you dare step out of line!'' He was also a protestant, and you can guess how he clashed religiously with catholic Irland...

One thing I noticed about this movie, when Robyn runs off from her father in wolf form, you can see the pain in his eyes. Not only from believing that he lost his daughter, but also because his daughter was a wolf, the thing he was trying to exterminate, and he wanted to and had almost killed her a number of times.

I loved the whole movie and I love how the girls went from friends to sisters I just loved how they did the father daughter relationship and how you don't have to be blood to be family shown through the girls. I loved how the ending playing out for them they all got to be a happy wolfwalker family.

Aurora, the singer for Running with the Wolves is the voice that calls Elsa. She even made a cover of Into the Unknown. It's hard to identify but the movie is made in 2.5D animation. They've mixed 2D and 3D animation to create it.

If you loved this movie please review Song of the Sea. It’s from the studio and has the same beautiful animation. It’s based off of mythology and has absolutely beautiful songs and a captivating story. As a huge fan of animation, this is my favorite story and I listen to the soundtrack on a daily basis

The "I'm afraid" broke me damn Sean bean delivered that line perfectly... And spoiler he doesn't die in this one which is rare

There are many different "British" accents just like there are different American accents from different regions. The girl Robyn and her father have a Northern accent (from Yorkshire)/

while i don't want to blow down your own interpretation of the movie whatsoever (your gaze is perfectly valid!) i will add that the mother and father actually DON'T end up together at the end of the movie. director ross stewart has gone on record multiple times saying they're just two single parents and good friends! but mebh and robyn can have whatever dynamic you wish. just remember it's up to interpretation for everyone!

I was about to watch this movie, and your saying good things about this movie makes me even more excited to watch it, so thank you 👍👍♥️

What I love about Cartoon Saloons work is the art style differences between the cities and wilds. The cities are full of sharp edges but the wilds are full of curves and well wild designs!! I read that when drawing the wilds in this film it was all a single line and then the designs were stemmed from that line creating the woods

I loved how Robyns story paralleled the dads. In movies, usually were partial to the main characters side because we only see their POV. The movie was able to show really well how biased we can be by having the same story/concept told from different perspectives and different ways.

I’m Irish and the fact that this is based in Ireland and it just makes me SO happy! And I got to watch it-

Aww I love that you did not shit all over Goodfellow. He honestly is trying. Trying everything he can to be a good dad and bring food home. And protect Robyn. He fails but he admits that he is scared, and still continues moving.

This movie reminds me so much of older tellings about werewolfs. That's literally how people believed werewolves came to be and I love it! It's not the typical human good, but turns into a blood thirsty beast kinda thing that is so overused. There was actually research that went into that movie

Fun Fact: Robin Goodfellow is one of the names associated with Puck from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” which actually helps imply Robin’s willful nature. And you make a good point; Robin, the more “civilized” child, consistently disobeys rules, while Medb the “savage” child, consistently follows directions. So ironic!

WOLF WALKERS DESERVED ANY AWARDS IT WON!!!😃😃😃

My dad showed me a trailer and then we found out we couldn’t watch it and now I’m seeing so much things saying it’s good 😭

* father turns into wolf to save daughter * me: "wait did he just anger himself into unconsciousness?" ( i actually said that out loud haha)

Is NOBODY going to talk about how she’s Filipino?! Her English is so good, I was also wondering what her accent was because it wasn’t the usual Filipino accent(not that that’s a bad thing)

“WOAH DIDNT SEE THAT COMING SHE BECAME A FUR-“

Maybe the movie that made up my childhood, 'Spirit: Stallion of The Cimmaron'? Best horse movie ever, I still cry when I watch it

What I love is these two who use to be enimies became friends. And then they became best friends, and then sisters and nothing can separate the bond of these two. This is to show anyone can get alone if they trust try, and before you know it. Y’all will become best friends where no one can separate you.

Fun fact about this movie, this is set back when England began to take over Ireland. It was called the Plantation of Ireland. Certain English/Scottish people were sent over to take control of Ireland and expand the English empire. I'm pretty sure that the Lord Protector is one of the soldiers who took part in wars for the king/Queen of England who was sent over to take control of certain towns and cities. Just a small fact I wanted to state:3 I'm Irish so I had an excuse to make my family watch this >:D

“The music and animation is just wonderful!” “I’m running with the “ Add: “Hellooooooo”

When I first saw the concept trailer years ago, I knew I wanted to watch it. Then I watched the first viewing at the online festival thingy in november and was crushed I had to wait to december to see it again. I am an animation student and this movie really inspires me (also.. I mean.. wolf). I was also really happy of "running with the wolf" being in it. Aurora is a great singer and the song fitted well. The animation is stunning and the artstyle is really creative!

no movie by cartoon saloon is bad, somehow each once is so unique and has such powerful messages and visuals. i recommend watching song of the sea too for some real feel good stuff.

I love how you can sometimes see the guidelines in the animation

Since you watched Wolfwalker, you might enjoy Song of the Sea. The main character acts like a brat at the beginning but you really learn about his trauma and the sibling dynamic gets so good and becomes a great big brother.

Me: the villain is always my least favorite part of the movie he’s a little boring though we like that he’s actually part of Ireland’s dark history though he’s actually my least favorite part of the movie but other then that this is fantastic Masterpiece 10/10

Robyn has a northern accent like her father (Bill Goodfellow is voiced by Sean Bean and he's from Sheffield). I can see how the two accents sound similar to someone who hasn't heard either with great frequency, compared to me, a brit who has visited both regions and heard the two accents a lot

I love all the movies made by this studio. They're beautiful, entertaining, and all have GREAT soundtracks

I JUST SAW THIS NOTIFCATION AND MY DAD AND I ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING IT RIGHT NOW JDNFFNJDJDD

I'm a Christian too, It makes me happy to see a you-tuber who isn't afraid to talk about it. Also I LOVE your movie review videos and can't wait for the next one! Also I am totally planing to watch Wolfwalkers now! (:

Watched this movie today and it’s flipping great! I love how historically accurate it is, set in the 1600s during Oliver Cromwell (the lord protector)’s conquest of Ireland. I love all of the buildings and such. I also looked into it, there were a bunch of wolves back then in Ireland, so much so that the English settlers called Ireland, ‘Wolf-Land’. Awsome movie one of my favourites ever.

Cartoon Saloon movies are the most beautifully animated that I think I've ever seen. I can't wait to see what they do next

just imagine they have a crush and to be fully true to their crush they have to bite them. just like "hey can i see your arm" "uhm sure" **bites** "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

So beautiful the girl gains a sister and a mother 😍

I love how the art looks like a watercolors. I love Wolfwalkers so much, it's heartwarming story

Well, me and my mom watched Wolfwalkers together last Saturday, and we both loved it, so watching it with family is definitely possible. Me and my mom both love Irish-themed movies (and we have Irish ancestors too!), so that helps.

some suggestions: - long way north (these are made by the same people who made wolfwalkers) - bread winner - secret of kells - song of the sea it would be awesome if you did these!!!

I pass Borris-in-Ossory to get to my aunties house and that is where the legend of the Wolves of Ossory apparently came from which inspired this movie? But yes I love Cartoon Saloon so much, Secret of Kells was my childhood film and their studios in Kilkenny are amazing! I'm so glad you covered them and thst they are getting the recognition they deserve!

I love the review. Sean Bean was great playing robyn's father. The story is great. The movie is amazing.

I watched wolfwalkers and I loved it. The way they get along like siblings is so adorable (Mebh and Robyn)

Get this girl to 100k this is quality stuff

I love Wolfwalkers. It is beautiful. Like o my gosh .

the part where she talks about how the lord protector says dear lord is actually really profound.

This is such an underrated movie.

Me and my dad watched the movie many months ago and when i watched the trailer for the first time i realized that the song that plays when Meb are learning Robyn how to be a wolf are the same that played in a swedish ad ( i live in Sweden ) some years ago and i found that kinda funny.

If you liked Wolfwalker, you should watch Song of the Sea and Secrets of the Kells. Aisling is freaking adorable. Gaelic/Celtic mythology is GREAT, it is great! (Edit) Also, I think you are missing a lot of the hidden lore with the details in this movie. For starters, the unrest caused within the village wasn't because of wolves attacking but because of British occupation. The Lord Protector is more likely a figurehead of British authority - which we all know how kindly the Irish took to that... Actually, the whole reason why wolves went extinct in Ireland was directly due to British occupation influence. The Wolf was considered one of the sacred animals of Irish folklore (Hence stories like the Ossory and Faoladh. Ossory being the Mythology that Wolfwalkers is based on).

I remember when I watched it for the first time and I will tell you the animation and story is beautiful. In fact if you pay attention to the lineart and colouring of the humans and the wolfwalkers, you can see the wolfwalkers have more sketchy lineart showing that they are wild and vise versa with the humans. Honestly to those who haven't watched it, I heavily suggest you do.💝

Goodfellow looked so METAL in wolf form, his blood was probably mercury.

My (and actually also others too) POV about the father/daughter relationship is that its good that Bill (the father) wants to keep Robyn save but at the same time its not. Robyn herself yelled at him that she already is in a cage when Bill tried to stop Robyn by freeing Moll (Mammy) and tell her that he is protecting her so she wont get caged. Its the overprotective parent situation where the parent thinks what he does is right while the child cant express itself more or better. The problem with their relationship is also that they tried to trust each other but the parent always tries to tell you otherwise. That overprotective behaviour and the trust issue was also meant to be seen since most people are like ''wHy DoEsNt ShE jUsT lIsTeN ?''. Well that is what wolfwalkers is trying to show you as a watcher. It even says under the titel on the poster ''Be wild, Be free'' That is why this movie is my absolute favourite. To be free and choose to do something else rather/what you want to do rather than to flow with the river and be someones pet. Im a pagan and i love this movie since its also showing a pagan side and not the typical ''gOd Is GrEaT'' stuff. That is why i loved Robyn by rebelling against what she was told to be and to do, and mostly that the ''Lord Protector'' fell. Both got their happy ending in the end and that is what i hoped for, that they learned more about one another and learned to trust each other again like Bill said to Robyn ''All is well'' and she replying ''All is well Father''

This animated movie is a master piece

He is like the best dad In a show I had watched in a long time. I loved this movie. The music and art and storytelling was beautiful. Happy they are a happy family in the end I was surprised. It was written well :)

This movie has been my favourite since the first time I saw it :)

If you liked this, you'll love "Song of the Sea" from the same studio! And if you want another recommendation, I would highly suggest you seek out the 2008 animated film "Nocturna."

Wolf walkers is my favorite movie Its so full of emotion and great quality animation The hard work here is amazing

"I'd do that if a shitzu did that to me," _well guess you have a sister now cuz same_

Robin is persistent because she has a backbone and she did keep her promise she just tried to do it in the only way she thought was right

You should totally watch Mune: Guardian of the Moon! It’s got gorgeous animation, a fascinating world, and some pretty great characters!

Having a sister is constant fights arguing and the older one constantly beating up the younger one (me) and blaming her for everything

Me, my lil brother and my dad loved this movie and we cant stop watching it because we can relate to it and its very heartwarming

Wolfwalker is one my favorite movies. 10/10 love it!

I've watched it like 5 times and I'm still amazed of the animation and story

I want her to watch "song of the sea" it was a film animated first before "Wolf wakers" i love these films 💕

12:02 “Talks big about being a hunter but it’s all *bark”* Don’t think I didn’t see what ya did there

I always wish that they would make a series to this.

Wolfwalkers is an amazing movie, I completely loved it, the animation style is beautiful, I love the characters and the story is... * chef kiss * 👌👀

When she said "Crap, I'll get kicked out one of these days for being too loud." what language was she speaking?

This film, Song of the Sea, and Secret of Kells are all made by this studio, and it is so cool to see various Irish folktales in this unique animation style!

The one thing that impresses me the most about your channel is that you animated your characters mouth at the exact same time you speak even the character poses your character pulls while talking actually acts as if you in reality is doing what your animated character is doing i love it to my hearts content

Well, I've been considering to watch it since long ago because the art is something unique that we haven't seen for a while. (Maybe with the exception of Klaus - wanna try that one too? :3 -) Also, I love folktales of any kind from all over the world. I think your review makes worthy the try. 😊

This movie was so good, I especially loved the endig with them finding a place where they could be happy, by the way can you see the movie Ana and Bruno? I dont know if there is an english versión on that one, but I would like to hear your opinión on that one.

Running with the wolves is the song that played during the midnight run. It is my favorite song because I love wolves

I WHOLE HEARTEDLY AGREE. It reminds me of book of kells and song of the sea. On top of the art being so great, and the characters being so likable.

being an irish person, i honestly think this is amazing.

Fun fact the running with the wolves scene was first made with 3d animation programs and then it was made by hand the old good way Meaning these guys had to go through easily 4 times the work any of the big company's productions would And produce less money But the quality is some next level stuff

The fact that mommy wolf was clearly strong enough to break her mental muzzle thing, pull against at least three grown men, and injure someone in the process, but never did anything prior to her daughter being in danger should've said smth to the people

A story about a girl who discovers a new way to be herself that lets her run free and wild, only to be forced to hide that side of herself from her family for her own safety, is a very trans narrative. And I am 100% here for it. 💜

Your so great at reviewing these types of movies! I love the way you go at this.

I just have to say. I love this channel! I love the reviews and your so entertaining and fun to watch! I’m also a Christian and I’m so encouraged to see you rule Christ in these situations!

I watched this movie before this video and I cried A LOT. It was sad, happy, and beautiful! And I think it’s now my favorite movie.

I love wolf walkers thank you for quickly reviewing Wolfwalkers

Thank you for making this video! I bet this was a lot of hard work to make. I really wanted to see this movie but I wasn’t able to and I don’t think I ever will so thank you again.

I suggest, you review the movie the Secret of the Kells. The Secret of the Kells were created by the same people who made Wolfwalkers, and it was my favorite movie as a kid even though it was actually pretty terrifying.

I watched this movie with my class last year, it's so good! One of my favorites. Running With The Wolves (the song that plays when Robin is taught how to be a wolf) is by AURORA, who has a beautiful singing voice. She has a different version of the song as well, where the lyrics are more clear.

Try watching song of the sea! It’s by the same studio and very amazing’

"Woah didn't see that coming she became a furr-"....I think we all know what you were going to say, tbh wolfwalkers is kinda a great furry movie.

Did anyone noticed those Easter eggs? Like when Maude was looking through Robins stuff and she found this snake eye from Secret of Kells

Both Robyn and Bill (her father) have Yorkshire accents, typically more common in the north of England, which is where my dad is from as well

OMG I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE!!!! your character is soo cuuteee!!
