Summary
A 10-year-old Irish boy named Ben finds out that his silent younger sister, Saoirse, is a selkie who will have to free the faeries from the Celtic goddess, Macha.

Why The Irish Mythology Exist

 * 1) The amazingly beautiful animation that is entirely hand-drawn. This style of animation is kinda hard to find in today's movies.
 * 2) A touching story about Irish mythology and folklore.
 * 3) Great and interesting characters such as the adorable Saoirse and the spunky Ben.
 * 4) Ben and Saorise's father, Connor seems to have similarities as Tim Lockwood from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. As they're both likable, have a good heart and thinks they know what's best for their children.
 * 5) Stellar writing that beautifully weaves in emotional themes with Irish folklore.
 * 6) The excellent and astonishing music by Bruno Coulais.
 * 7) The lighting is notably glowing.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Connor's mother could be unlikable and mean spirited due to her strict personality.

Reception
The film was widely praised by critics and moviegoers alike and has a 99% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
