Here is an animated film that finds new beauty in ancient traditions; a film that fights back against the temptation to surrender what little magic this world still has left, and fulfills Cartoon Saloon's promise along the way. Go to Full Review Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture 12/13/2020
It's glorious, gorgeous, and more than a little profound. Go to Full Review Calum Cooper In Their Own League 07/14/2024

Frankly, I struggle to see how “Wolfwalkers” could’ve been improved upon. It is a spellbinding visual delight and exciting narrative powerhouse. Go to Full Review Brendan Cassidy InSession Film 07/09/2024
It’s mythological vibrancy and musicality at its finest, and may have you shouting Aurora’s “Running with the Wolves” for weeks. Go to Full Review Rory Doherty InSession Film 06/13/2024

See more Marcela 04/19/2021 Great movie for the family. Love the style of the artwork. It's a definite must see for tje kids. See more Helene I 03/31/2021 Great story, good messages, and interesting animation. I really liked it, as did my granddaughters, 8yo and 12yo. Enjoyable for all ages. See more LeeLooLaguna 11/25/2020 This move is by far worth being in anyone's collection! The art style was organic to match the nature themed storyline. The characters didn't feel flat and the emotions were shared well with the audience. I was expecting a bunch more names in the credits but it seems like smaller companies all worked together to bring this animation to life. I avidly enjoyed going to the theatre during "Covid" to watch this!!! See more Travis T 11/22/2020 Interesting and fun story! See more Read all reviews
