Princess and the Frog is amazing, you guys! It's got gorgeous 2D animation (really, some of Disney's best), great songs, an iconic villain, a wonderful role model of a lead character, and very fun side characters! I personally consider it the start of the modern Disney revival.

It’s a 2003 Afghan film called Osama. Not exactly an adaptation of the book but it tells a very similar story. Really good but quite depressing.

My biggest (and perhaps only) problem with The Secret of the Kells is its weak ending. The movie ended so abruptly that it left a bad taste in my mouth despite how gorgeous it is. As for The Breadwinner, I suppose it’s not watered-down relative to most animated movies, but having read the book and seen a live-action adaptation of the story, this version just didn’t do it for me and wasn’t nearly as impactful. I might have liked it otherwise. You should really see Song of the Sea though. You might agree that it’s by far their best work.

I personally find Song of the Sea to be Cartoon Saloon's strongest and most cohesive film. Both The Secret of Kells and The Breadwinner felt a little...incomplete and watered-down to me. Just like Laika, Cartoon Saloon is not the most consistent animation studio, but God do I appreciate what they're each doing.

Criminally underrated movie. You should watch it for literally all of these reasons you stated and more. It's simply one of the most stunning animated films I've ever seen.

Glad Cloudy made it. It's such a fun film! I was the other guy who voted for the sequel hehe; I disliked it the first time I saw it but loved it the second time. Too bad it didn't make it as well.
