Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar at the 2010 Academy Awards, THE SECRET OF KELLS is a charming, traditionally animated comedy adventure with an impressive voice cast. The action takes place in ninth-century Ireland, where Viking marauders have forced inhabitants of the Abbey of Kells to erect a huge wall to defend their land. Abbot Cellach (Gleeson, PERRIER'S BOUNTY) expects his nephew Brendan (McGuire) to continue protecting the township, but a mysterious manuscript illuminator (Lally, ALEXANDER) rolls into town with unfinished scrolls and urges Brendan to embark on a quest with him. Filled with peril, their trip takes them far and wide to an enchanted forest where mythical creatures dwell, and here Brendan learns that in order to complete the book he must first face his greatest fears. This is the first feature film from Irish animation film and television studio Cartoon Saloon (Song of the Sea, Breadwinner).
