I just noticed in WolfWalkers is that while Cartoon Saloon changed the aspect ratio of certain scenes to showcase the tension of the scene, here though Robyn's hair literally breaks out of it showing she has had enough of having fear to fight for not just the freedom of the WolfWalkers but her own
Seeing how Cartoon Saloon's work has evolved over the years which one has your favorite style to date? And what are your thoughts on styles they have been showing on their most recent works?
Cartoon Saloon movies always have gut wrenching climaxes but the payoff is equally if not more impactful. Which of their works had your favorite climax/payoff and why?
I love when Cartoon Saloon does small things like this. In Song Of the Sea, in a specific scene, Saoirse's shadow is in the shape of a seal. And in WolfWalkers Robyn's and Mebh's astral projections aren't just generic Wolf representations but they have subtle details that reflect their Wolf bodies.
What's your favorite detail about any of Cartoon Saloon's work?
Fun Fact: this almost did become true, in a draft for the Movie Robyn, who was running with Mol's wolfskin, would have actually been shot by Bill who confused her with a real wolf. This ended up being scrapped after the idea of the wolfskin was replaced with the transformations.
Here's a new banner for the subreddit now for the first time featuring more of the studio's work! Lmk know what you think of it and any changes you'd like to see on a future banner
Fun Fact: "town tasties" was just a placeholder name that Tomm Moore came up with as the way Mebh would refer to bread and milk but since literally no one in the crew could come up with a better name it just stuck in the final script.
Honestly the fact that Mol did everything in her power to protect Robyn just as much as Mebh shows how much she really cared for her and appreciated her efforts to free her
The scene when Mebh and Robyn begin to understand each other and bond as they realize they have much more in common than they though is probably the single most heartwarming scene in WolfWalkers
