Apple TV+ Releases Trailer for Animated Film 'Wolfwalkers' From Creators of 'Song of the Sea'

by

Apple today released a trailer for a new family-friendly animated film coming to Apple TV+ this year called "Wolfwalkers."

Apple acquired the rights to the film back in 2018, and it comes from the creators and director of "The Secret of Kells" and "Song of the Sea."

The film is described as an adventure film about a young apprentice named Robyn who travels with her father to Ireland to help wipe out a pack of wolves. However, once they arrive Robyn discovers a girl who has the ability to transform into a wolf at night, and begins to question if they should continue on their mission.

"Wolfwalkers" stars Honor Kneafsey as Robyn, Sean Bean as her father Bill, and Eva Whittaker as Mebh. A specific release date wasn't given for the film's release, but in the ‌Apple TV‌ app it is marked as coming sometime in 2020.

My Kids love watching Òran na Mara (Song of the Sea).
I've got the Irish Gaelic version of it with English subtitles to force them to practice both reading English and picking up Gaelic (it's in Donegal Gaelic which is almost the same as Scots Gaelic).
There's not enough Celtic folklore in films and TV and there's an enormous amount of traditional folk tales to be told from Celtic folklore. Much of which is shared between the Scots and Irish.

Yep. As a parent to two elementary school-aged children, the youngest being a daughter, I too look forward to this one.
