  • This studio might just be the next Pixar...SERIOUSLY. Time to dive into Cartoon Saloon, the Irish animation studio behind The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner, and Wolfwalkers. From humble beginnings in Kilkenny, Ireland, Tomm Moore and his team have crafted beautiful hand-drawn films rooted in Irish folklore and tradition. Learn how their commitment to cultural storytelling and traditional animation sets them apart and why they're drawing comparisons to animation giants like Pixar and Studio Ghibli.

    I’m an animator and I cannot express how much Cartoon Saloon means to me. Their dedication to hand drawn animation and stories told from real experiences and culture gives me so much hope. I got to see an early screening of Wolfwalkers at my art school and I will never forget how inspired and excited I felt right afterwards. I’ve been a huge fan of theirs for many years already, but Cartoon Saloon continues to be the creative breath of fresh air that the animation industry desperately needs right now. Getting to work for them would be a dream come true for me.

      New Pixar? So this studio is spending hundreds of millions of dollars on developing new CGI programs to made everything look more realistic than real life? I have the feeling that people have forgotten what Pixar's goal was with these movies, every movie they release back then was an attempt to improve their tech, Nemo was greenlighted in order to prove realistic fluid physics, the Good Dinasour was the last attempt of that focus on realistic visual.

      Amazing to see the influence of anime and its techniques, traditional animation is superior to CG, it's good that this studio learned from Anime and didn't go down Disney's non-creative path.

    My favorite detail in Wolfwalkers is how the town and the townsfolk have very rigid, clean lines and geometric shapes. That stylistic choice makes for a dramatic juxtaposition to the wild forest, the wolves, and the wolfwalkers. If you look at the wolves and at Mebh, you can see faint sketches underneath and their lines are very wild, not conforming to the style belonging to the town. This choice also illustrates Robyn’s development throughout the film. Whenever she was forced to stay in the town, she had that clean geometric style, but whenever she snuck out and escaped the town’s walls, she quickly takes on the sketchy and painterly style of the forest. By the end of the film when she decides she’s never going back, her hair is undone and she fully embraces the wild sketchy side of her.
    There is already so much storytelling at play by the animation style alone. Now imagine how the rest of the film is! It’s amazing and everyone should see it

    Have you seen the trailer for _The Glassworker_ ? It's the first hand drawn (and first animated) film to be made in Pakistan. They're called "Mano Animation". They've taken inspiration from Studio Ghibli, and built their studio from the ground up. Their story on how they started is inspiring in of itself.

Song of The Sea and The Secret of Kells have been my favourite movies EVER (along side Treasure Planet) ever since my first watch of them. If I can, I'd thank them personally for fostering my love for animation, especially the traditional 2D animation, and for introducing me to Irish culture and folklore. (This country always punches above its weight, I'm telling you!) Hopefully their values in prioritising art and creativity over "safety" remain the same as they grow. I hope they'll become a big phenomenon and a big success in the near future.

    I'm glad to say I grew up with Cartoon Saloon even before I knew what corporate corruption even was-
    I watched the Secret of Kells when I was 9, then saw Song of the Sea and Bread winner when my middle school art teacher decided to put on a movie for us during the last days of school.
    And as soon as I got wind of a trailer for Wolfwalkers, I had that trailer on repeat because 1. They had an Aurora song that I was obsessed with as their main theme for the trailer. 2. Wolves, need I say more? And finally 3. The beautiful animation and colors and style! I literally had to sign up and pay for Apple TV just for this ONE movie. It was a pain to unsubscribe from it, but I say it was well worth my time. Painting and art have always been a passion of mine, and I'm glad Cartoon Saloon has stayed rather consistent with their love of traditional stories and art. Much love.

    Cartoon Saloon really is an incredible studio, and they’re textbook definition of an underrated studio. They’re one of the reasons why I discovered one of my favorite animated films, The Thief and the Cobbler
    iirc, I think they cited the film as one of the influences for The Secret of Kells I think, so I saw it out of pure curiosity, and I fell in LOVE with it. It ended up making me appreciate the films I saw from Cartoon Saloon even more, for keeping surrealist and culturally rich animated films alive

    Cartoon Saloon has been and continues to be a huge inspiration to my art.
    Visually: the style, the colors, and the composition.
    Story-wise: The raw emotions, the humanity, and the fantastical folklore and legends behind the stories they tell.
    I have watched every movie they have put out so far, and not once has any of their films ended without me having been in tears at least twice.

As a gigantic fan of traditional 2D animation, I'm almost ashamed I didn't know the existence of a studio that has been basically keeping it alive in the mainstream for the past decade! Truly goes to show, that 2D in the western animation scene is still alive and kicking. They look so awesome and emotionally charged too, it's truly astounding!

    My introduction to this company was through Song of The Sea. I saw the movie somewhere online, and I decided to watch it. Towards the end of my first watch, something happened. I started crying. Not because the scene was sad but because it was beautiful. It was animation combined with the beautiful irish song that brought me to tears. I've loved this company ever since. I have nothing but respect for this company and I can't wait to see what other movies they produce
    Fun fact: Recently, I rewatched Wolfwalkers with some family memebers (one of them being my reluctant sister), and it was still as good as I remember. I could not stop smiling the whole way throught, thats how good this company is. Oh, and yes, my sister ended up liking it, so that's a point for me , 😂
