Featured reviews
The songs and the music is so magical it takes you so deep in the ocean and so high up the Irish highlands traditional stories.
The Oscar nomination was no foul, for me it is as good as Big Hero 6 but maybe the latter has more Action,, yet the storyline and plot here is tighter and more intriguing.
There were some Irish sentences where i'm lost .. couldn't get few words ;) :D but i lived for a while up in Glasgow, Scotland so i kinda got used to these mysteriously "charming" accents ;)
Don't keep your emotions sealed in jars :) It's been really so long since i'v watched an Animated movie with so much heightened emotions :) In the final scene i really felt like crying ...
Overall it's recommended , hope you enjoy it guys ;)

Amazing artwork and amazing story! I must say this movie has a story to tell that will work up to your emotion just like sea touching a stone and fills it with life. Music is great! The use of color and environment is so vivid and well thought. "Song of the sea" takes you into a emotional and adventurous journey with Saoirse and Ben. I strongly recommend to watch this animated movie. If you are a fan of animation you will simply love it. I've watched quite a lot of work of Studio Ghibli. 2D work like this is rare to come by these days. Wonderful creation! You should make movies like this and unlock a part of us which has been lost in the waves of time. Thank you. :)
From the Academy Award-nominated director of The Secret of Kells "Tomm Moore"This visually stunning animation masterwork, steeped in Irish myth, folklore and legend,Perfect balance of fantasy & real life.
A sweet journey of love and loss through Celtic mythology with a unique animation style that I've come to love,Song Of The Sea is a triumph in design and animation,The story was rich and quite impressive as well but after you see this film you'll be thinking about how amazing and beautiful it was.
Song Of The Sea gets a 10/10 from me and is well worth to be seen in theaters.

Amazing animated movie. I don't know how it didn't win Oscar. I mean Big Hero 6 is also good and cool animated movie but it just isn't better than Song of the Sea. Love the soundtrack and song of the sea is amazing.
It is generally accepted that only Disney can do animation with strong musical themes. Wrong.
It is generally accepted that only Japan can produce superior animation.Wrong.
It is generally accepted that FINDING NEMO was the best animated story about the sea.Wrong.
The other IMDb reviewer who said this could be the best animated feature ever made may not be wrong. It is one of a kind.
I could go on but hopefully you get the point.
Wonderful. Enchanting. Magical. Perfect.
I couldn't even hit the PAUSE button.

- Trivia'Cú' literally means 'dog' or 'hound' in Irish, while more specifically he is an Old English Sheepdog.
- GoofsWhen Granny finds the ghosts in the bin on Halloween, she threatens to call the police. Being Irish and living unmistakably in Dublin, she would not use the term police, but would instead threaten to call "the Guards" (or "Gardaí" in Irish), the usual term for police in Ireland.
- Crazy credits"Behind the scenes" wireframes and animatics from the production are shown beside the credits as they roll.
- Alternate versionsIn the cinema release, the words 'Feic Off' are written on a wooden door. On the UK Blu-ray release they have been removed.
