The Secret of Kells (PG)
★★★★ Hand-drawn and watercoloured, this animation is as sublime as a stained-glass window. ~ Total Film.

Beautifully drawn and refreshingly calm, The Secret of Kells hearkens back to animation's golden age with an enchanting tale inspired by Irish mythology.
In the remote Irish woods, Cellach prepares a fortress for an impending attack by a Viking war party.
Unbeknown to Cellach, his young nephew Brendan - who has no taste for battle - works secretly as an apprentice in the scriptorium of the local monastery, learning the ancient art of calligraphy.
