One of the nominee for this upcoming 2010 Academy Award, The Secret Of Kells. Like usual, the poster attract me to find more information about this movie. My first impression is this is another Hayao Miyazaki's animation (I'm a big fan of Ponyo and Spirited Away) but it's not. The Secret of Kells is an Irish animated feature film by Cartoon Saloon that premiered on February 8, 2009, at the Berlin International Film Festival. Quite long but i've just known about it's existence these days.The Synopsis
The story is set in the 9th century. Twelve-year-old Brendan is educated by his uncle, Abbot Cellach, who holds a firm grip on his nephew and expects him to follow in his footsteps. One day, Brendan meets Brother Aidan, a master illustrator who shows him the beauty of art and stimulates his creativity and fantasy. Finally, Brendan decides to break free in search of his dream: completing the valuable Book of Kells. On his journey through the forest, he has to face his biggest fears.The Secret Of Kells receives many positive reviews from the audiences including film critics. The fact that this movie has been selected as one of Academy Awards nominee makes The Secret Of Kells is worth to be watched. I love the illustration so much. I'm looking forward to watch this movie after it's released here (maybe in DVD)Oya, The Secret Of Kells have a wonderful website also. If you want to know more about this movie, go here
