** The first literation of the film, ''[[WorkingTitle Rebel: Turning Darkness into Light]]'', was extremely different from the final film, with the [[https://youtu.be/GFSifMGfuT0 concept trailer]] having little resemblance to the final product. To note the various changes:
*** Brenden was originally meant to be a teenager rather than a KidHero. According to Tomm Moore on the film's artbook, he through a hundred designs before they settled on his final design (many of which can be seen [[https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j7MtXkM9UPA/TuTwweArswI/AAAAAAAAcsI/x04he2CF3No/w1200-h630-p-k-no-nu/secret_of_kells_art_early_character_design_00.jpg here]] and [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FqavCX5XwAEh-u9.jpg here]]. He was also originally named "Ben" in concept art (the name would be saved for the male protagonist of ''WesternAnimation/SongOfTheSea'').
*** Aseling is not present at all in the concept trailer and wasn't initially planned for the film at the time. She wouldn't be created and added to the film until a couple of years after the concept trailer's creation (around 2002) thanks to producer Didier Brunner, who suggested the addition of a female character in his notes.
*** The art style in the concept trailer is noticeably very different and a lot more realistic than the final film. The art style changed due to Tomm Moore and the crew wanting to better capture the look of ''The Book of Kells'', the book that inspired the film.
*** The film was originally meant to be a 50 minute TV special and is stated as such on [[https://web.archive.org/web/20001210234600/http://www.cartoonsaloon.ie/ethos/ethos.htm Cartoon Saloon's original website]], but it quickly grew to be too ambitious for television and was reworked into an animated film instead. This likely explains the film's short 72 minute length.
