Song of the Sea
After their mother vanishes, a boy and his little sister — who turns out to be a selkie, a seal that can take human form — set off on a magical journey home across an Ireland teeming with Celtic myth. Tomm Moore's gorgeous, hand-drawn animated fable.
Why it’s here
An Irish animated feature rooted in selkie folklore and Irish coastal culture.
