A-

Here is an animated film that finds new beauty in ancient traditions; a film that fights back against the temptation to surrender what little magic this world still has left, and fulfills Cartoon Saloon's promise along the way.

Frankly, I struggle to see how “Wolfwalkers” could’ve been improved upon. It is a spellbinding visual delight and exciting narrative powerhouse.

Cartoon Saloon continues to prove that 2D animation is still capable of delivering emotionally compelling stories through gorgeous-looking, unique, artistic drawings. Outstanding voice work from Honor Kneafsey and Eva Whittaker.

This move is by far worth being in anyone's collection! The art style was organic to match the nature themed storyline. The characters didn't feel flat and the emotions were shared well with the audience. I was expecting a bunch more names in the credits but it seems like smaller companies all worked together to bring this animation to life. I avidly enjoyed going to the theatre during "Covid" to watch this!!!
