For those seeking animated films outside of the mouse house this Summer, Song of the Sea is an ideal choice. Directed by Tomm Moore, the man behind the critically acclaimed The Secret of KellsSong of the Sea takes its story from Irish folklore and features music by Irish band Kila. The film has already been a critical hit on the festival circuit, and will now be released in the UK next month. To celebrate we have the beautiful new trailer and poster.

Synopsis Song of the Sea tells the story of Ben and his little sister Saoirse – the last Seal-child – who embark on a fantastic journey across a fading world of ancient legend and magic in an attempt to return to their home by the sea. The film takes inspiration from the mythological Selkies of Irish folklore, who live as seals in the sea but become humans on land.
