"Differentiated not only by its rich visual design but also by its ethereal musical dimension..."

—

Variety

"Moves delicately but purposefully from pain to contentment and from anger to love."

—

The New York Times

"A treat; an enchanting and very moving family film."

—

The Guardian

"A triumph of design and animation, populating lavishly detailed, patterned backdrops with characters so simplified that they could've been cut-and-pasted from a newspaper comic strip."

—

The Dissolve

"A wonder to behold. This visually stunning animation masterwork, steeped in Irish myth, folklore and legend, so adroitly mixes the magical and the everyday that to watch it is to be wholly immersed in an enchanted world."

—

Los Angeles Times

"Many of the stories-within-stories and characters that dot this particular journey will feel new as well as delightful."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Visually, this is an exquisitely composed film, and it teems with curiosities and compassion. If on occasion the story seems to wander, it arrives at an enchanting destination."
