Fun Facts of Movie

  • It became the first animated feature to be nominated for “Best International Feature” at the Gotham Awards.
  • This is the third and final installment of Tomm Moore‘s “Irish Folklore Trilogy”, following his previous films The Secret of Kells (2009) and Song of the Sea (2014).
  • According to an interview with IndieWire, the “Wolf Vision” scenes were pre-visualized and built in a virtual reality environment. Rather than simply keeping those scenes to the virtual reality engine, the animators printed out the 3D model frame-by-frame and re-animated all of it on paper with charcoal and pencil. This gives the scenes a uniquely three-dimensional feel while still being hand-drawn.
  • In early versions of the story, Robyn was a male character. During an online panel at TIFF both directors confirmed that Robyn was originally written to be a boy, but that something in the story ‘just wasn’t working.’
  • This is the first animated film to be distributed and released by Apple TV+.
