Synopsis

Magic, fantasy, and Celtic mythology come together in a riot of color and detail that dazzle the eyes, in a sweeping story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times. Young Brendan lives in a remote medieval outpost under siege from barbarian raids. But a new life of adventure beckons when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying an ancient but unfinished book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears and venture into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him fulfill his dangerous quest.

Reviews

"The exquisite art and fairytale ambience will win over animation fans and children alike."

   - Pam Grady, Box Office Magazine

"Gorgeously mounted tale of enlightenment through art and courage."

   - Ella Taylor, Village Voice

"A gorgeous transcription of medieval decorative art and its themes into a contemporary animated narrative, one that should enthrall children older than 8 or so, along with the adults lucky enough to watch with them."

   - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

"It is only fitting that a movie concerned with the power and beauty of drawing -- the almost sacred magic of color and line -- should be so gorgeously and intricately drawn."

   - A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"Quite unlike anything I've ever seen before."

   - Lou Lumenick, New York Post
