Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Saoirse is a child who is the last of the selkies, women in Irish and Scottish legends who transform from seals into people. She escapes from her grandmother’s home to journey to the sea and free fairy creatures trapped in the modern world.”

Poster: B-

Review: Detailed and colorful, the gorgeous designs from the trailer seem to have been left off this poster design, which is a shame.

Trailer: A-

Review: Those images are just gorgeous in spite of containing a lot of animation I’m not usually a fan of. There’s no doubt the movie will be captivating visually. The story on the other hand isn’t very compelling from the look of this trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

This is one of the year’s prime Best Animated Feature competitors. Whether it gets the nomination against fellow GKids entry The Tale of the Princess Kaguya depends a lot on the landscape going into the Oscars.
