Cartoon Saloon - The Story Behind The Incredible Animation Studio

[@RadJack14]

This movie had such unique animation I am so proud of how Cartoon Saloon came from a tiny company to one of the best animation studios in the world

[@jackcarrol9483]

Cartoon Saloon is amaizing, and still can tell wonderful and powerful stories, and "My Father's Dragon" was so moving with a strong message, i really loved it so much.

Recently watched the irish myth trilogy and I must say I am in love with the things this studio has made. It really reaches the audience that these movies were made with lots of love!

Cartoon saloon is one of the best animation studios,..so much Great works, song of the sea, the secrets of Kells, the wolfwakers and breadwinners,...now with My father's dragon😉...The animators should be proud for keeping traditional animation alive...👌

Amazing story. Very proud Kilkenny man, chuffed that you're based in Kilkenny . My daughter, studying animation in college, dreams of joining you.

Grateful to get this look inside what went into this beautiful little movie. Every frame shows the five years of effort it took to make it. I kept backing up to catch expressions or subtle shifts of color. I'm glad we live in an era that sees books and movies like this as art and not just kid's stuff.

Just watched this movie yesterday! And it was amazing! The art, the acting, literally everything! It's amazing :)

[@davadh]

I love the art style of this film. Thank you to all the wonderful artists for your hard work!

I am 68 years old. I am primarily a retired medical doctor and researcher. I now focus on healing our relationships with each other and nature. For me, these magical animated movies provide a perfect combination of beauty, creativity, excitement, gentleness and hope for children of all ages........

My friend recommended this movie to me and it was so worth it. My Father's Dragon had incredible animation. It was gorgeous and Boris was so adorable. 🥰❤❤

[@alejandrojaviergaytanorteg498]

Yes he’s such a sweet dragon 🥰

[@GamingFanactic911]

@@alejandrojaviergaytanorteg498 yeah he's just a lovable goofball and he's not always the smartest but he makes up for it with a good heart🥰🥰😍

[@teddyfurstman1997]

Cartoon Saloon and their Movie are so magical. Glad to see them making more animated 2D films.

[@amadeusmalonje8263]

These guys deserve so much more recognition

[@tizardthewizard4406]

I love Cartoon Saloon! I have wolfwalkers posters in my room, I’ve really got to watch this new one:D

[@franciscobenetmolero]

Increible , a mi me gustaria comprar cosas de su pagina pero no tengo visa electronica. Me gustaria una secuela de wolfwalkers,

[@Felix_the_forestcat]

I loved this book as a kid and, I love cartoon saloon so, I immediately loved this movie. It’s definitely one of my favorites

[@shopski]

So sweet! My love goes to you guys! I try to live by your example. Amazing work, amazing team.

[@TangsTails]

I love Cartoon Saloon!! 😍

[@bearisland638]

I have admired the work of these guys since I discovered their studio Cartoon Saloon in the early 2000s. Good to see they are still on the rise!

[@bresdem01]

I really loved the movie! Congrats for this amazing piece of art!

[@vivisoutoarts]

Cartoon Saloon is amazing! I love their movies😍❤️❤️❤️🫶

[@OdesaFilmStudio]

Cool!

[@ithurtsbecauseitstrue]

I love Cartoon Saloon. But I still think their height artistically was Song of the Sea. The textures gave so much depth to the flat animation that it was like a moving tapestry. Wolf and now Dragon seem so simple in comparison. Bread was certainly a new direction and looked great. But Song of the Sea still has not been surpassed, when it comes to the animation / art. I hope they go for that level of amazing animation again some time.

[@johninterlichia3857]

0:02- The Rescuers Down Under reference!!!😍🤩

[@NIGH11]

Glad to see hand drawn still being done! Hand Drawn forever !

[@jeremiahwalker3795]

I love this studio so much it’s so underrated

[@Cheesemoonh]

I really hope movies like these still are getting made, maybe with some action

[@LibertyWings690]

Cartoon saloon is my favorite movie studio! And my favorite movie is from this studio it’s wolfwalkers

[@cello_shelli]

HELLL YEAAHHH

[@franciscobenetmolero]

Me encanto la película, contiene unas promesas y unas metas que enseña por conseguir unas necesidades que refleja la película , no es de mis pelicula favorita pero me gusta los diseños artisticos de varios tipos que el CGI actual , buen guion que aromatiza un romance con la película. Esta mas que claro que la película Wolfwalkers a la ciudad ..

[@NhiNguyen-hz9se]

Inspirational!

[@tylerfish2701]

Even in a time where CGI and stop motion are the norm, 2d animation has never gone away, nor will it ever any time soon.

[@franciscobenetmolero]

Me gustaria ver una secuela de Wolfwalker aunque Toom Moore ya dijo que no habría, pero creo que tiene continuidad hay guión para hacerlo ...

[@jeremyelcuervo6091]

My Father's Drsgon is beautiful and magic as The Secret of Kells, Song of Sea and Wolfwalkera.

[@dueymiller5795]

No Victor?

[@luca_franca]

Please, subtitles!

[@-ZH]

The story didn’t quite grip me as much as their other movies. Maybe it’ll change on rewatch, I’ll see.

[@stefunstef8158]

Hi there! I am really ends-Iredell by 2d illustration and animation. I am living in `Dublin for 3 years and a gala, and I came here to pursue my art journey, but I never found it. How can I move to Kilkenny in the hope of joining your team. I am a 33 years old graphic artist, with bachelor degree in graphic art. I really want to do something beautiful with my life, cause here in Dublin, I am struggling keeping my art alive. I am just doing on my spare time, if I have any, as a side job. Sadly I am not working in my domain, but in hospitality as a receptionist. I have worked before coming to Ireland, as a graphic designer. Is any chance for me in giving a shot?

[@sedatcercel]

Moho is the best :D

[@loftikuss]

father's dragon had such good animation in the anime adaption. compared this here just looks very cheap and not expressionate enough

[@jeremiahwalker3795]

CGI sucks 2d is so much better

[@berengerdietiker22]

Meh, I will take computer animation over traditional animation anytime.
