The story of the last Seal Child’s journey home. After their mother’s disappearance, Ben and Saoirse are sent to live with Granny in the city. When they resolve to return to their home by the sea, their journey becomes a race against time as they are drawn into a world Ben knows only from his mother’s folktales. But this is no bedtime story; these fairy folk have been in our world far too long. It soon becomes clear to Ben that Saoirse is the key to their survival.

Hello! I stumbled across your short trailer for “Song of the Sea” some time ago. This film looks so sweet and touching. I showed the trailer to my mother and it made her tear up a bit. Even though my mother and I both live in the states, we are highly anticipating “Song of the Sea”! I wish you good luck and hope that you are able to complete it soon! I can’t wait!!!
Sincerely,
Rachel
hey guys i love the song on the trailer where can i buy it. also i can’t wait for this movie to come out.
why don’t these amazing animation films get more notice in North America? Only through the Oscar nomination did i find out about the Secret of Kells and the rest of this wonderful, breathtaking animation!
i hope you guys win the Oscar, the sheer imagination, creativity and originality involved in every one of these works is amazing!
This has to be about the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time. I can only hope that it will make its way to the States! I’m so glad you have gotten the nom for the Secret of Kells or I and I’m sure many others would have not discovered your amazing company.
Absolutely breath taking just from the trailer. It was a shame that Kells didn’t win but it only upped the bar for everyone. It i some hope that these kinds of films will show up more internationally for everyone.
I can’t wait for this I am utterly excited, I need ritalin.
Please oh please oh PLEASE let this movie come to North America!! I loved the Secret of Kells, and I would love to see Song of the Sea as well. The trailer is beautiful!
Looks amazing. Can’t wait to see the finished film. The music is beautiful too. Have you thought about working with Stephen Shannon (Halfset)? He does some of the best instrumental music out there. A couple of his tracks are on vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/3264202 (solo) and http://www.vimeo.com/1799648 (with Halfset).
Best of luck with the new film. Kudos on the Oscar nomination. Keep the faith!

I want nothing more than to see The SEcret of Kells. But where can I get it in the US?
It’s really refreshing to see something so stand-alone-strong and breathtaking as this film (at least, that’s how I felt when I first saw this trailer…). The music is spot on with the mood of the animation in the trailer… i can really sense the whole mom-kid connection.
I want this film. So sweet and tender, i show the trailer at my family and all my friends , everyone love it.
p.s. please scuse me for my english
This i really good work you do! I first saw the artwork to Secrets of Kells, and found your webbsite, very fine art! Never heard of you before, Pixar and Dreamworks dominate the world of animation today, but since you´ve been oscar nominated more fans will discover your films!

The song is ‘The Kissing Gate’ from Kíla. It’s on their newest album Soisín. It’s as beautiful as the drawings. Soooooooo looking forward to seeing this film when it’s made.
The DVD of the Secrte of Kells will be out in the US on the 1st of Octorber, Blu Ray also….
instrumental music is very soothing and relaxing.::*
i always listen to instrumental music whenever i want to relax.~”-
I just saw The Secret of Kell and I have to say I loved it. I hope that Song of the Sea will be just as good. I am looking forward to seeing it.
Hi April, thanks for that! We’re looking forward to it also!
