“The Triplets of Belleville producers team up to bring this fantastical tale to the big screen. Tomm Moore's adventurous hand-drawn feature has already been nominated for Best Animated Film and has received international acclaim. The story draws on mythology — particularly Beowulf — to create a visually striking picture that engages kids and adults alike with its lovable hero, Brendan, a medieval monk who navigates his astounding quest though a dark forest without the comfort of superpowers. A weeklong run follows Thursday's European Union Film Festival closing night screening.”

Siskel Center says:
Nominated for an Academy Award! From the producers of Kirikou and the Sorceress and The Triplets of Belleville comes a new film for all ages, chronicling the creation of the Book of Kells in dazzling animation that echoes the intricate beauty of the masterpiece from which it was inspired. This medieval tale of monks and Viking marauders has a boy, a forest fairy, a mysterious artist, and his feline muse at the center of a ravishing fantasy that swirls with ornate Celtic imagery and stunning color, accompanied by the haunting strains of Celtic tunes.
