If you've seen "The Secret of Kells" or "Song of the Sea", then you have seen the work of Tomm Moore and his animation studio Cartoon Saloon in Kilkenny, Ireland. Recently, I got an opportunity to interview Tomm and talked a lot about his new film, Wolfwalkers.
The theme of this film is "When friendship conquers fear" and is the story of a young girl living in Kilkenny in 1650. Her father is a hunter who she wants to be like. One day, she goes hunting by herself and she meets a very interesting and wild little girl who lives in the woods nearby.
When I spoke with Moore, he was in middle of finishing up the movie poster for the film. I also learned that Moore will be doing the 2d animation for Jim Capobianco's upcoming animated feature called "The Inventor"; another upcoming interview. Take a look at the interview below and learn how this film is also based on Irish history.
