The Secret of Kells

 This movie is beautifully animated, in a very unique arty kind of a style, evocative of medieval Celtic illuminations.  It's about a little boy in medieval Ireland who is an apprentice manuscript illuminator.  His abbey is under attack by Vikings, and he meets a sidhe girl in the woods.  It's awesome, all around.  Hopefully, this is the first in a long line of fine-art animation.  B+
