If you live in Ireland, Belgium or France please take my advice and see The Secret of Kells. Take everyone you know. It’s beautiful, charming, touching and intricate as any of the great classics of animation, you have to see it.

This film is of enormous significance to Irish animation, it’s our first ever Animated Feature.

My first job was scanning & painting drawings for this 9 years ago, it might be hard to believe but the main character design was also originally based on me. The studio gave me my first taste of making short films and it’s thanks to artists there like Aidan, Barry, Fabian, Nora, Ross and Tomm that I got into this whole thing in the first place.

The film opens of the 6th of March in Ireland and Belgium and is already playing in France.
