C'est en Irlande au 9ème siècle, dans l'abbaye fortifiée de Kells, que vit Brendan, un jeune moine de douze ans. Avec les autres frères, Brendan aide à la construction d'une enceinte pour protéger l'abbaye des assauts réguliers des vikings. Sa rencontre avec Frère Aidan, célèbre maître enlumineur et "gardien" d'un Livre d'enluminures fabuleux mais inachevé, va l'entraîner dans de fantastiques aventures. Aidan va initier Brendan à l'art de l'enluminure pour lequel le jeune garçon révélera un talent prodigieux. Pour finir le livre et défiant ses propres peurs, Brendan sortira de l'abbaye pour la première fois et entrera dans la forêt enchantée où de dangereuses créatures mythiques se cachent et l'attendent. C'est là qu'il va rencontrer Aisling, la jeune enfant loup qui l'aidera tout au long de son chemin. Brendan va-t-il réussir sa mission malgré les hordes de vikings qui se rapprochent ? Pourra t-il prouver que l'art est la meilleure fortification contre les barbares ?

I think this movie really depends on your taste, but I loved it. Such an unique drawing style and the music is perfect. This is definitely a movie I'll re-watch a couple of times.
the second half of the movie is a little bit to fast paced for my liking, it could've benefited from more time to flesh out Brendan journey.
Animation was gorgeous, but I didn't enjoy the story as much as the other movies in this trilogy. The story felt a bit disjointed, and the second part of the movie seemed a bit rushed. There wasn't enough of a focus on Brendan's journey and it wasn't made clear how the Book actually provided strength and helped the people survive and thrive through all of the northmen invasions. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed.
Should be named *The Book of Kells*. For something I had no expectations for I came out pleasantly surprised by the end even if some things didn't quite work for me. I was struggling to gain interest at the start but as soon as he entered the forest I was glued to the screen. How original is it that our main character embarks on an adventure to go get some ink to paint a book of all things. I found that heartwarming and it gave it a soul while staying true to kids and their imagination. Just a solid idea for a quest. Aisling and her forest are mysterious, that first introduction to the forest was my favorite moment. Absolutely beautiful animation, I love all the spirals and symmetry it's very satisfying to look at. Also, this movie knows how to mix colors, the black white red scenes are perfection. Beautiful score! It's so joyous in one scene but knows how to get dark in a split second which surprised me a few times. I wasn't as engaged with the story in the second half of the movie unfortunately but it did come together by the end.
the animation was beautiful but i could not get into the movie
