The Secret of Kells

I love animation.  I especially love animation by people who know how to work with all its possibilities and absurdities.

I’d heard that a project was afoot for an animated movie based on The Book of Kells, one of the worlds most beautiful illuminated manuscripts, and I was really looking forward to it.  I expected to be impressed, maybe even amazed if I was lucky.

I did not expect to be so utterly charmed.
