(Welcome to\u00a0The Quarantine Stream<\/strong><\/a>, a new series<\/a> where the \/Film team shares what they\u2019ve been watching while social<\/a> distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.)<\/em><\/p>\n

The Movie<\/strong>:\u00a0Wolfwalkers
<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Where You Can Stream It<\/strong>: App<\/a>le TV+
\nThe Pitch<\/strong>: The daughter of a wolf hunter, Robyn, comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when Robyn encounters a wild native girl, Mebh, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why It\u2019s Essential Viewing<\/strong>: There\u2019s a tendency to ignore any animated movies that don\u2019t come from Disney or Pixar, and write off the rest as either too arthouse or too kiddy. And it would be a real shame if anyone did such a thing with\u00a0Wolfwalkers<\/em>, the latest masterpiece from Cartoon Saloon, the Irish animation studio behind such films as\u00a0The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea<\/em>, and\u00a0The Breadwinner<\/em>. The culmination of Cartoon Saloon\u2019s works, Wolfwalkers<\/em> is a stunning, breathtaking paradigm of 2D animation as well as a heckuva entertaining adventure flick.<\/p>\n

Princess Mononoke<\/em> meets\u00a0Brave<\/em> in\u00a0Wolfwalkers<\/em>, the last of Cartoon Saloon\u2019s Irish folklore trilogy, which take inspiration from the country\u2019s long cultural history to create new art. And art is what\u00a0Wolfwalkers<\/em> certainly is: every frame a painting, every piece of motion like watching someone\u2019s brush strokes come to life.\u00a0Where there was a slow-burning, arthouse prestige to Cartoon Saloon\u2019s past films like The Secret of Kells<\/em> and\u00a0Song of the Sea<\/em>,\u00a0Wolfwalkers<\/em>\u00a0bursts with wild energy, threatening to erupt beyond the roughshod lines of the characters and the intricately detailed backgrounds with which they interact, and spill out of the screen.<\/p>\n

The animation manages to tap into every physical sense and evoke a visceral feeling of awe, fear, excitement at every turn. In one of the most awe-inspiring sequences of the film, Robyn, after having been accidentally transformed into a Wolfwalker through Mebh\u2019s bite, sees the world through \u201cwolfvision\u201d for the first time, in an almost synesthetic scene that bathes the screen in starry trails of light \u2014 showing the scents of animals and people \u2014 amid a trip<\/a>py black light that envelopes the frame.
\nBut Wolfwalkers<\/em> does something even more amazing than give us god-tier animation. It manages to make a good movie out of an animal transformation story (arguably one of the weakest tropes in animated movies) by digging into the Irish folklore that inspired it. After getting accidentally bitten by the feral girl Mebh, Robyn finds herself able to transform into a wolf when she falls asleep. Rather than go through various hijinks and personal obstacles to change back, she wholly embraces her newfound freedom and her existence as one of the last members of a dying breed. The film\u2019s melancholy undercurrent is one of change. People are forgetting the Wolfwalkers, and they themselves are the last bastions of a dying culture. But even as the forest that the wolves live in disappears, and people forget their traditions and myths,\u00a0Wolfwalkers<\/em> shows there\u2019s still a little bit of magic left in the world, hiding in the dark.<\/p>\n
