Song of the Sea

anime

A selkie comes to life, spends the film's time trying to reach her special coat so she can return to her natural habitat. She has many outlandish adventures along the way.

Beautifully drawn. Many imaginative scenes of breathtaking animation. Charming treatment of selkie legend...much better than John Sayles' film. I have no quarrel with this lovely film but I do wish anime would move beyond stories about and intended primarily for children. Until it does it won't be taken seriously as medium.

Meanwhile this one's a gem.
