The Secret of Kells is an Irish-French-Belgian animated feature film by Cartoon Saloon that premiered on February 8, 2009, at the Berlin International Film Festival.The story is set in the ninth century and gives a fictionalized account of the creation of the Book of Kells, an illuminated manuscript and known today as one of Ireland's greatest national treasures.
(One of my favourite scenes in which Brendon fights an deep sea creature with a stick of chalk, causing it to eat itself through frustration.)
It's animation is superb and the character designs are so unique with elongated shaped and general abstract feel. It's beautiful and eye popping with characters that made me sit up and take notice of their form and function.
