He brings everything together by borrowing from timeless visual influences, leaving audiences with another stunning artwork for the ages.

- 91IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichFar and away the best animated film of the year so far (one worthy of such hosannas no matter how limited the competition has been), this heartfelt tale of love and loss is the most visually enchanting feature its studio has made thus far, as well as the most poignant.

If you want to ween the little ones off Disney’s overproduced glitz and turn them on to alternative forms of animation and storytelling, Wolfwalkers is a great place to start.
