Stunning visuals and with a cool premise and story, but the execution is a good bit too slow and meandering to properly grip me. Still quite an accomplishment, and recommended to any fan of animation and children's fantasy.

A boy raised by medieval monks under threat of Viking attack befriends a fairy and learns to be an artist.

It's like somebody made a feature film version of Samurai Jack. It's notably missing the beautiful simplicity of story that Jack had, but otherwise the resemblance is uncanny. Which is awesome.

The story follows a young scriptorium apprentice, Brendan, who lives in a monastery with his uncle. His uncle focuses on constructing a wall to protect the abbey from Viking invaders, and Brendan explores the local area, helping around the monastery as he can. After the arrival of a mysterious Brother Aidan of Iona, Brendan begins to learn the art of illuminated texts as well as the forest spirits that surround the monastery.

Featuring gorgeous, hand-drawn illustrations, the film's artwork mirrors that of its subject matter. This film, or perhaps selected segments, could be included in an art class or history class doing an unit of illuminated letters. Although it takes place in a different time and setting, the film may also appeal to fans of Disney's Brave (2012) for its similar themes and the perspective of a feisty young person.… (altro)
