Wolfwalkers: Get ready to enjoy Ireland's greatest ever animated film
A scene from Wolfwalkers, which opens this week.
Oscar buzz is rapidly building for Wolfwalkers, the new animated feature from Cartoon Saloon. The Kilkenny studio’s latest, about a 17th-century wolf hunter who has a change of heart, is already regarded as a shoo-in for a Best Animated Feature nomination by most Hollywood pundits. But if directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart are excited at the prospect, they’re not letting on.
“We try not to get too caught up in it because you have no control over it,” says Moore. “You know, you put something out there and hope it's good. The Twitter conversation has listed us as a contender quite a bit. You hope you don't break the streak.”
