Riverdance: The Animated Adventure

Bit of light entertainment that can teach younger children about loss. Really nice film.

We have seen Riverdance the musical many times and we really appreciate hearing the music. Animation is decent and story so-so but we enjoyed watching.

I'm baffled at some of the reviews here. It's a kids film primarily, nothing like the Mire serious book Of Kells etc, and my young boys loved it! I thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It deals with the grandfather's death beautifully. I am Irish, (have an actual Irish accent) and I didn't notice any pretend Irish accents going on, I really don't get the reviews that mentioned forced Irish accents or brogue Irish..... no American actors were used as Irish characters in this film. Pierce Brosnan's accent has always been slightly unusual in that he slips in and out of Irish, English, and slightly American at times. Aisling Bea really does sound like that. Real Irish accents vary massively, and yes, some Irish people in rural Ireland still roll their R's. We have watched it a few times now, I suspect it will always be a family favourite. Inspired lots of dancing and helpful discussions around old age and death. Recommended.

We love music and this one hit the ball out the park. There's always self-doubt, but learning through various experiences is what this movie teaches. Never miss an opportunity to learn.

My two boys (5 and 2) absolutely adore this movie. The music and dancing is so fun and the storyline is very sweet with humour added in. It also teaches about loss (my 5 year old is dealing with the loss of his grandad) and this was the perfect movie to give him some comfort.

I'm not sure why there are so many negative reviews. It is meant to be a children's movie. It was very well done in my opinion with beautiful animation.
