One of the year's finest animated features is also one of its most technically impressive, as directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart's animated Irish folktale `Wolfwalkers` is hand-drawn.
That's rare in the days of CGI, and fitting for the case of this mystical period adventure about two young girls saving the hunted wolf population of Kilkenny (home of animation house Cartoon Saloon) in the mid 17th century. The movie launches in theaters on November 13 from GKIDS, before heading to Apple TV+ on December 11. Watch the full trailer below.
The third installment of the Irish folklore trilogy from Cartoon Saloon - co-founded by Moore - fulfills the promise of `The Secret of Kells` and `Song of the Sea.` Both those films were nominated for the Best Animated Feature Academy Award, and `Wolfwalkers,` following huge buzz at the Toronto International Film Festival, looks to be headed in that direction.
