Don't get me wrong, Wolfwalkers looks good but of the three movies I've mentioned I think it's the least worthy of the win.
Saint Patrick's Day video for those Irish out there, even if you're only 1/32.
They've made a few voiceovers of the graphic novel prologue so far, but this has a neat transformation at the end. Anyone have a source for that anecdote in Our Werewolves Are Different where the werewolf would literally do a turn or somersault over a magic item of some sort to become a wolf? Seems similar. It was Slavic I think, or made out of the whole cloth.

Internet: Man, it sucks we can't get Wolfwalkers on Blu-ray...
(*Cartoon Saloon revs in on a motorcycle wearing aviator shades*)
Cartoon Saloon: Did somebody say Wolfwalkers on Blu-ray? Have we got some exciting news for you!
That's right! Wolfwalkers is coming to Blu-ray as a part of Cartoon Saloon's Irish Folklore Trilogy!
And as you can tell from the name, this also includes Blu-rays of The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea!
(Even cooler: the packaging is made of at least 50% recycled or renewable materials that are safe and sustainable for both individuals and the environment. The soy-based inks are non-toxic and 100% biodegradable!)
EDIT: Hey, anybody remember when I shared
a photo of a wallpaper
featuring the kids in Cartoon Saloon's movies? Did anyone manage to save that screenshot? It looks like Tomm Moore deleted it. And the Wayback Machine isn't any help.
