Have you watched Song of the Sea?
What's your favourite part?

Conor, a lighthouse keeper, lives on an island with his son Ben, his pregnant wife Bronagh, and their Old English Sheepdog Cú in 1980s Ireland. Bronagh disappears late one night, presumably dying after giving birth to a daughter named Saoirse.

Six years later, Conor is broken, Saoirse is mute, and Ben is hostile toward Saoirse, blaming her for Bronagh's disappearance. On Saoirse's birthday, they are visited by their grandmother, who regards the lighthouse as an unfit place to raise the children. That night, Ben scares Saoirse with a story of Mac Lir and his mother Macha, the Owl Witch, who stole his feelings and turned him to stone. Later, Saoirse plays a seashell horn given to Ben by their mother, leading her to a white sealskin coat in Conor's closet. She puts on the coat and walks to a group of seals in the sea, revealing herself as a selkie. After swimming, she is found by Granny on the seashore, who insists upon taking the children to the city. Conor reluctantly agrees despite Ben's protests, locks the coat in a chest, and throws it into the sea.

[I REALLY HATE POKEMON!]

I haven't seen it, but apparently it's part of a trilogy of films. They seem nice, I didn't think major 2D animated films still existed outside of anime. Their subject matter seems tame too, maybe I'll see if my nephew wants to watch them.

They're a trilogy in the sense of all of them featuring the same subject matter (in this case, Irish folklore). The stories don't connect at all, so there's no need to watch them in any order.

Good flicks. I got the chance to see 'Wolfwalkers' on the big screen back in November of 2020, when theatres were barely reopening-----------we were the only ones there. Good time.
