For me, it's either Breadwinner of The Secret of Kells.
But I'll have to do my research.
I didn't realize Cartoon Saloon made the We Bare Bears Movie. In that case, that's easily my favorite.
Btw have you seen Universal's Cat in the Hat movie? Greatest cinematic masterpiece of all time. Would love your thoughts on THAT one😂
Breadwinner, not a contest. So much intense emotional storytelling from a point of view that not many people in the world think of when talking about the events of that story. I love it to death and absolutely recommend you watch it sometime.
It's hard to choose between Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers
@@fuffofox You can follow Wolfwalkers pretty well since they kinda explain/show what the world is, while Song of the Sea kind of expects the viewers to already know Irish folklore.
Didn't really bother or confuse me since I assumed it is most likely based on folklore. But those who aren't used to it would be confused
To be honest, I don't totally blame Grandma from wanting to take her grandchildren with her. Her son is clearly in not the best state of mind and while we as the audience see a magical moment between Saorise and the sea lions, it would actually be really terrifying experience to find out that your little granddaughter went swimming ALONE in THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT while your son was getting drunk at a pub.
True, she really thought she new best under the circumstances and just wanted the kids safe. 💛
growing up is realzing that while the grandma is a bit cranky, ultimately she's the most responsible adult in the movie
Song of the sea is literally one of my favorite animated movies of all time
Me too! I could watch it on my Alexa-
I watched it when I was 6 and I cried. It was actually the first movie to make me cry. I even wrote a book inspired by it!
AGREED!! 2nd to spirited away
My friend says the same!.
Yes I love this movie
Cartoon Saloon movies were actually my first exposure to Celtic mythology. It feels so unique, I wish there's more exposure of it.
Same!
Hilda, Song of the Sea, and Wolfwalkers
my holy trinity of cartoons with interesting european-based mythology
@@_marshP make that the holy quad because of The secret of Kells.
Exactly ❤
@@brigittew3183 Love the visuals in that movie except for a very famous, infamous nightmare inducing scene that scarred me in 3rd grade 😅
This was really heavily based on "The Selkie Wife" or "The Selkie Bride", which is a traditional folk tale in parts of the British Isles (particularly Scotland). Like most folk stories, it has many variations, but, generally, it goes like this:
A fisherman spots a group of selkies (a type of seal-like fairy that could turn human by removing their skin), and then coerces a beautiful selkie into marrying him by stealing her skin while she wasn't looking (she's all "Give it back! I can't return home without it!" and he's all "Well, I have it and you're gonna do what I say. And I say you marry me."). So they get married and have a bunch of kids, all while he's got the skin safely hidden away. Then, through one means or another, the selkie finds the skin and immediately leaves. Some versions have her say a final farewell, or reveal that she was already married to another selkie, or have her sometimes visit while everyone's asleep and leave presents on the children's birthdays. Most versions insist that, despite everything, the fisherman and selkie had a happy marriage - with them getting along quite well, and the selkie genuinely loving her new family.
Me personally i had always grown up being told the selkies only son ( who used to sing to the seals on the shore) found the skin and gave his mother the skin knowing she was sad. She leaves to the sea and legend says he still sings to the seals on the shore. Super interesting how different people grew up hearing the tale.
that story actually kinda sounds a lot like one of my culture, indonesia's folk tale. in the indonesian version, the selkie is an angel who flew down to earth with her fellow angels to take a bath on a waterfall. the angels flies with shawls in the myth and when they're taking their bath they all put them off somewhere far. so, this random guy found the angels bath spot, saw where they put their shawls and snatch one for himself so that the one angel can't fly back to heaven. and the rest of the story kind of just flows like "The Selkie Wife" tale you just commented about, except the random guy doesn't really use threats to make the angel marry him. he manipulates her by helping her, since she can't go back to her home anymore, and coaxes her into marriage. pretty interesting
Oh there is also a Chinese version of this story as well being part of the famed story, The cowherd and the Weaver.
Similar to the comment on top of mine. But replace the angels with the celestial maidens who are the daughter of the Jade Emperor.
Some have said that the cowherd's cow told or encouraged him to steal. That cow may or may be a celestial being idk my memory ain't that good
YAY!! This was my favorite movie as a child and it is one of my favorite movies now. I love this so much!!!
awww! ❤
Yeah I watched this over & over as a child I mainly love the 2d animation & this movie is what started my love for 2d animation.
me too! this is such a great movie in my opinion
I remember watching this as a kid and thinking it was a fever dream and only remembering the lullaby, years later I searched up what I thought was the lyrics of the lullaby which was just the selkie song and found out it wasn't just my Overactive imagination as child glad I wasn't crazy because song of the sea and fantastic Mr fox are two of my comfort movies.
I watched it as a kid as well, thinking that it was all just a dream or something like that
I relate to this so hard. I recently found a video on my phone and it was specifically just the lullaby because I loved it so much back then. Definitely just a fever a dream now I need to go back and watch this. But I do remember loving this movie.
I watched this in art class and loved it, I thought it was just a weird fever dream as well but I found the memory comforting..
Mr fox! Another one of my childhood favs
I had this moment too, remembering tiny moments and a single melody that I could hum but not know the words, leaving it a mystery for me. Years later in my junior year of high school my sister watched it and I looked at the movie in confusion and happiness knowing that I knew the melody
They're seals, not Sea Lions - They're very similar animals so the confusion is understandable but they are different~
Oh!! My bad! Thank you for letting me know!
@@RosMo4 l was just going to post this
This film benefits from more than one watch,and some understanding/research into its celtic background.
'Time spent' as it were, to get a full appreciation of how good it is
I remember when the seals would visit the local pier sometimes, they're really cute
@@RosMo4 Some differences: Sea lions are often fuzzy and in warmer climates. Seals appear more stream lined and blubbery. Sea lions walk on their flippers while on land, seals sorta bounce and roll about on their bellies.
@@RosMo4 it's fine! Sea Lions aren't native to Ireland so I was a bit confused why you were mentioning them 😅
Fun fact: Bruno Coulais, the music composer, also worked on Coraline, and the other 2 films directed by Tomm Moore.
In an interview, he mentioned that when working with Kila (the band), they blended Celtic sounds, which sound very much like the wilderness.
He also said that he was given a lot of freedom with the score and I think that's what makes this sound refreshing.
Every time I see a movie that I’ve seen on one of your “Ever HEARD” videos, I get excited, and when I haven’t seen it, I get curious. Either way, I click.
Aww!! Thats so sweet, thank you for watching! 😭💕💕
The grandma actually showed a couple more times of bottling up emotions. She told Ben to stop crying , and I think there was a medication scene ? Could be interpreted as so. Correct me if I’m wrong however
every single cartoon saloon movie is so iconic, but my favorite is definitely the breadwinner
Nah I hate that one it hits too close to home for Iranian me
Now that Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and Wolfwalkers are branded as the Irish Folklore Trilogy, I actually swap Wolfwalkers and Song of the Sea in the viewing order. They were all created as standalone movies but if we consider them a series, making that switch puts it in chronological order. Song of the Sea's ending is also a better capstone when you look at the themes of how all the fae creatures interact and are impacted by humanity. From having complete dominion over all outside of small human settlements in Secret of Kells, to being pushed back and needing to migrate and relocate as civilization expands further into their territory in Wolfwalkers, then finally the state we see in Song of the Sea. People have claimed pretty much all of Ireland with the fae only persisting in small hidden pockets among us in places like the center of roundabouts or in the sea. So many of them were turning into stone and becoming inanimate as a result of their sadness and Macha's influence. Then there's the climax where all their spirits are set free and they depart to their own world leaving only a few remnants behind. It's a kind of melancholic ending but also beautiful.
Brilliant analysis, I couldn't agree more
I'm adopting this as my personal head canon. Such a sad but beautiful way of viewing these movies.
My little sister has been obsessed with cartoon saloon animations since this came out. I definitely know this as her childhood movie and has dreamed of having a selkie coat to swim away in all the time. I like how the art has also influenced her art and made it more elegant over time. Nothing wrong with my little pony art but it was fun to see a evolution.
It's debatable whether Saiorse's decision was logical/hard or not. On one hand she has a family that still kind of needed to be put back together and is the one of the only remaining parts of her mother that have. On the other hand, she gets a chance to live a life in the magical world and get to know her mother. I understand why she chose Ben and Conner, she's known them all her life and they do sort of need her. But it we can't help but wonder, why can't the magic world and human world be tangled? Because that's kind of the main thing about this scene, once she chooses she won't be able to interact with the other. And to think this is placed on a six year old it's a bit too much. I wonder what would happen if she chose to be a selkie.
I think the reason why humanity and magik cant be entangled is because either our world right now is too advanced or fragile to understamd the magic, or it just wasnt ment for humanity
omg i love song of the sea so much 😭😭 it was literally my childhood
This movie is honestly one of my favorites and when I showed it to the kids I babysit, it was the only time that I have seen them be quiet for an entire movie and it was wonderful. They loved it and the oldest asked for a selkie coat for her birthday which I made for her and it has made her love seals along with her favorite penguins. I think this movie showed them that it was okay to feel their emotions and not bottle them up like they are thought to in school. For that I think it’s a great movie.
I remember watching this movie when I was younger, but I was too young to comprehend much of what was happening, so this is like a little piece of nostalgia.
I freaking LOVED everything about this movie when it first came out. The graphics, the characters, the designs, the songs, the stories. It made my overly big imagination as a kid take off. I'm DEFINITELY gonna rewatch this today, thanks for reminding me about it
I love folklore and mythology, so i watched this more than once. The animation is beautiful and calming, the end and scene with Maka made me cry. But if i had to choose between Song of the sea and Wolfwalkers, i would choose Wolfwalkers.
Is Wolfwalkers on Netflix too? Thats where i watched Song of Sea
There’s an irony in dismissing the father for being dismissive. He has major unprocessed trauma from losing his wife. He was raised by a mother who deals with emotion via drugs and shutting down expression and discussion. He’s clearly depressed and overwhelmed with nobody in his life to help process the trauma. Connor deserved better in this review.
i really remember watching it vaguely when i was still in kindergarten, yes i am very young back then, through the years i became invested finding out the name of the movie but gave bc i cant find it... Until this year! i finally knew the name and watched it. it was so good, from the visuals to the story i just loved it!
The song of the sea is an amazing movie I enjoyed watching, it’s awesome to see your review/perspective on it! And that transition to sakura co was pretty smooth, very appetising food
Thank you! I try my best hehe 😊🙏
fun fact; this was the FIRST movie i ever watched as a kid, and i still love it to this day :D
you're like the only person who talks about these amazing movies, first wolfwalkers and now song of the sea, so thank you
Song of the sea is such a sweet and amazing movie.truly any movie that comes from the animation company is godly
Soairse is so cute and so unaware of Ben and his feelings and poor Ben is being forced to suck up his emotions and be the older forgotten brother
Song of the Sea is one of my top ten movies of all time! It's such a wonderful movie that I highly recommend to everyone!
It's been sitting in my watchlist for years, and you've finally convinced me to give it a watch.
YES! GO AND ENJOY!
I watched this movie all the time as a Kid my mother is Irish so this movie was such good way to understand and immerse myself in the lore
I watched this when I was much younger, it just came out. I loved it. I watched it again recently and am still in love with it. It’s one of my favorite animated movies besides Megamind and Klaus.
I watched this film a long time ago when I was younger. Now all is left are fuzzy memories of beautifully illustrated scenes, with little to no context. A few days ago I found out the name of this film, and of course, I couldn’t help but watch it one more time.
I was enthralled. Amazed. It was if I was watching it for the first time. The unique storytelling and the concepts from Norse mythology was so creative. The characters so lovable and interesting. The colorful and detailed illustrations in every scene was just magical, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Confident to say I absolutely adore this film and all the love the artists, writers, and directors put into it.
It is honestly so underrated where I live, no one I know has ever seen it save for my family who I’ve shown it plenty of times to!
I’m glad your finally talking about it, because it’s so beautiful and really inspired me to try watercolors the first time I saw it as an adolescent 😂
It is probably one of my favorite Cartoon Saloon movies, though the Secret of Kells is still a masterpiece!
WHEN I FIRST WATCHED IT AT LIKE 8 I CRIED SM
spent five minutes pacing my room just seeing the thumbnail THIS MOVIE WAS MY CHILDHOOOOOOOD
FINALLY, PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABT THIS MOVIE. I WATCHED IT WAS A KID AND WATCHED IT AGAIN RECENTLY AND LOVES IT.
This movie holds a special place in my heart I remember watching this when I was 5 and this video brings a lot of nostalgia
Yay, finally a Song of the Sea Review! 😄 Definitely a favorite and glad to hear your take on it!
Song of the sea was my friggin childhood, if I ever brought a dvd case of any movie I always either brought song of the sea or ferngully. I just love it so much
I love song of the sea, I get overwhelmed realy easily and it being slow helps me enjoy it (bright colours and fast action make me stressed and anxious and it sucs when watching a movie). Also I love love loooove the artwork and -style
Song of the Sea is my favourite movie!!! I’m Irish but don’t know a lot of Irish folklore so I thought it was fun to learn!!! 😁
I remember crying at the end of the movie blown away at the song with my grandparents
Strange they chose owls for Macha, as she's more represented as an ancient Horse Goddess (usually a Moon-White or Silver-Gray Mare) but owls represent wisdom so therefore all the older women in this film are intentionally drawn owl-like, not just Macha and the Grandmother. Macha's real bird symbol is Crow.
...Another not-so-nice possibility is that (as what often happens in selkie tales) the father trapped the selkie to marry him at first. The mother had to find the key for the chest he kept her seal-skin in. Clues to this possible past is the original key mounted on the wall. Looks like she grew to love him but still had to go back for her health.
Omg thats all so interesting thanks for sharing!! But if thats the case of the selkie, that would be so tragic 😭
I remember watching this movie over and over again when I was younger and I loved it so much!
Ever watched Bartok the Magnificent?
Bartok, the endearing albino bat from Anastasia, returns in Bartok the Magnificent, his own animated musical.
It was a childhood favorite of mine.
I'm a massive Cartoon Saloon. As someone who his interested in animation and is from Ireland this is my favourite movie of all time!
It's so calming and beautifully animated, I'm glad you are reviewing it!
Edit:
8:16
Those are nettles! They hurt a lot and produce a non-fatal toxin! Saosie uses doc leaves to make him feel better because they're a natural cure for nettle stings!
IM SO HAPPY SONG OF THE SEA IS GETTING SOME RECOGNITION
, IT’S BEEN MY FAVORITE MOVIE SINCE I WAS 5 YEARS OLD WHEN IT CAME OUT IN 2014
Song of the Sea was a big part of my childhood. My mom would always play a movie on the PC in front of my bed before u went to sleep and this movie was one of them. I genuinely can't believe I forgot about it!
Something that will always stick to me about it is the visuals, as a kid the emotional scenes didn't hit that much, but now I would absolutely rewatch it for the real feels!
My favorite from cartoon saloon is by far The Secret of Kells. So beautiful, so delightful, and it makes me cry everytime
this film is really important to my family as we watch it over and over again its my mother's favourite animated movie ever and carton saloon is criminally underrated.
I always CRIED when I watched this movie it’s indescribable how much this movie means to me. It’s my childhood movie.
OMG I LOVE THIS MOVIE 🤩, still get teared up in most parts
I've watched this movie so many times,it's big part of my childhood. It's still a my favorite today, I still watch it. It's very comforting to me in a way
In: 17:51 what I found out that she was Voiced by blue diamond I literally screamed “I KNEW IT!!”
im sorry but you saying grandmama mommy mama throughout the video absolutely cracked me up--i was literally dying oml
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THAT GODDAMN MOVIE NAME FOR YEARS OMG
I remember watching this movie as a child while I was in the hospital, gosh this was my comfort movie! It's so nice hearing people talk about it ;
Song of the sea is one of my all-time favourites. I also suggest the movie Secret of Kells
You should do My Father's Dragon if you haven't already! It's based off of an older book and it's also by Cartoon Saloon.
Me and my brother watch song of the sea And my brother really liked it😭😊I just love it how it's animated it's so cute!
i LOVE cartoon saloon, i'm an animator living as a teenager in ireland and i look to it for inspiration often. might move to kilkenny and work there someday. as a kid, it was a magical experience watching song of the sea in a cinema, it was dubbed in irish and i watched it that way.
When I was younger I watched it once and cried. Then I forgot the name and couldn't find it until like last year.
I really recommend Secret of Kells too, its really good, and I believe the studio have done a Star Wars Visions short film recently too though I've not seen them. Here in Ireland, I guess Cartoon Saloon are almost like our Studio Ghibli, though you'd be surprised how many Irish people don't know about them.
Song of the sea is my childhood movie🍿 and I still love it
First ever movie I watched on a plane,best movie I’ve watched so far
Being able to speak and understand understand Irish makes watching the movie so much better I love it 🤩
Alright, I need to say a couple of things:
1) Great video Ros Mo!❤ As always, you made it funny and enjoyable. Nice work.👍
2) I found out about this movie 5 years ago when I was searching on Google about animated clips, and one of them was a gif of Ben smashing Saoirse's face to the cake.🎂😂
3) Conor reminds me of Flint🤠 from Mother 3. He used to be a loving, caring father, but after the lose of her wife and older son, he spent most of his days at trying to find Claus and visiting Hinawa's grave. But at the end, he finally leaves his sad past to be the father Lucas once remembered, altought this only last very few moments due to the awakening of the Dragon.
4) There is a little easter egg where Aisling (a character from another movie of Cartoon Saloon, The Secret of Kells) appears in the bus which Ben and Saoirse hop in. Or is the real Aisling or a girl with a really good costume due to Halloween.🎃
5) Right in this moment -> 5:35 - I can't help but laught at Saoirse's expression.😑
6) Happy birthday Ros Mo!🎉🎂
I remember first watching this movie when I was younger. When I first watched it, I had no idea what to think of it. It kind of subverted me really. After rewatching it many times in the future, this movie has stuck to me and I’m really happy to know about this studio. This Irish movie studio has potential and this movie managed to use that potential to bring me into the magic of Cartoon Saloon’s world!
I remember seeing the trailer in a DVD ad in how to train yout dragon the first one
Song of the sea was my favorite movie as a child 😭😭 i loved this movie so much omggg-
I haven’t watched this movie in so long and yesterday I was trying to find it and gave up till I see this and another thing if you have ever seen River Dance the you will understand, Bens voice also sounds like the main character from River Dance I forgot his name but ya they are both such good movies
I'll be sure to check that out!
Song of the sea was my favorite movie as a kid, in the car on the way to school I would sing “ the song of the sea” from “the song of the sea”
Such a beautiful movie and my favorite movie (still is, I’ve loved this movie since I was 4)
I have only watched Secret of Kell's for whatever reason and none of the others. I absolutely loved that movie so I really need to watch this gem
that clip of ben begging not to be taken and his father yelling at him did not make my chest tighten and my eyes water what are you talking about??
Netheir did I. I just said I felt bad for him at that moment 😊
This is the movie that got me into Irish music. And they did change Dúlaman for the movie but it fits for the story so so cares
This needed to be talked about. Thanks for talking about this i loved it as a kid!
I'm 14 and I've watched this movie soooo many times. I can't even count and for some reason I end up crying EVERYTIMEEE
YES YES YES YES YES! The ending song is one of my favorites!!! So charming! So good!
I first saw this on a cinema trip in primary school, when i was about 6 or 7. It was an irish translation, as i lived in ireland at the time, but it had subtitles so we understood it.
I loved it. I didn't understand how good it was, but the visuals were pretty and I loved it for that.
A few years later, I still do love it! Of course the visuals are still amazing, but I see other things nowadays, such as character development, story and just so much amazing things. As a huge geek nowadays, I think my enjoyment of mythology and folklore enhanced this way more.
Definitely an underrated film for sure. I dislike most films, but I don't think I can ever bring myself to hate this. I wish this film got more of the recognition it deserves.
Funny thing is I used to love that movie when I was younger
YESSS! Song of the Sea is my favorite movie, I would listen to the lullaby every night! Thanks for doing this review!
BRO THIS IS MY FAVORITE CARTOON SALOON MOVIE!!!
I WISH IT WAS STILL ON NETFLIX 😭😭😭😭😭
I am so happy I am not the only person who knows about the film.
This is literally my favorite movie
AHHH i remember watching this movie when i was younger❤️❤️❤️❤️
this movie and “secret of kells” SO GOOD❤
I LOVE THIS MOVIE THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING IT 😭❤
I WATCHED THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS REALLY YOUNG BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THE TITLE UNTIL NOW THANK YOU
I watched this years ago with my siblings and cousins and I loved it so much!!!
I never watched the movie but I took an interest with this after one of our school magazines featured this as a topic for us to read and to reflect on the character's actions. Honestly I will give props to the person who made that article for us to reflect what happened in the movie.
I REMEMBER OH MY GOODNESS!! This was a part of my childhood I’ve always loved!! I could never remember it’s name or parts of it. But I can see all the memories ALL THE NOSTALGIA AHH
I loved this movie, there was so much emotion and Caracter devopment in a beautiful art style with some of the best music in any movie.
Yes, I have heard of it. The creators of Song of the sea also made The secret of Kells, and Wolfwalkers, and I would describe all three as Fantastic! I also like trying to spot the easter eggs they leave referring to their past films. For example, I spotted Aisling while watching Song of the sea, and I saw the eye of Krom in Wolfwalkers.
I literally thought that I imagined the whole movie thank you for proving me I wasn't going crazy 😭
This movie makes me cry ever time I used to watch it with my dad and I miss it.
this gave me an ocean of nostalgia ❤
Omg i loved this movie as a kid, but i didn't know what it's called and was questioning if it wasn't just a fever dream !!!
OMFG this movie brings back so many memories, i used to watch this movie on my dvd player alot when i was 5-8 yrs old
