Magical dances with wolves come alive in 'Wolfwalkers'

The directors of the Oscar-nominated 'Wolfwalkers' talk about the process of bringing the Irish folk tale-inspired movie to life.

It was not third time lucky at the Oscars for Irish director Tomm Moore. Wolfwalkers, the third movie in his unofficial “Irish folklore trilogy”, was nominated for the Best Animated Feature Academy Award, However, the award eventually went to Pixar's Soul.

In a recent interview before the Oscars ceremony, however, Moore said he was just happy to be in contention for the award again, following nods for both 2009’s The Secret Of Kells and 2014’s Song Of The Sea.

It’s been almost 10 years since Moore and the production company he co-founded, Cartoon Saloon, released The Secret Of Kells, which had a visual style that was inspired by Celtic and medieval art.
