Tomm Moore's Stellar SECRET OF KELLS Finds A US Home ...
... and they're treating it right.
Tomm Moore's Secret Of Kells - aka Brendan And The Secret of Kells - has become a great favorite in these parts over the past year as it continues to rack up awards all around the globe. How much do we like it? Enough that I quite happily put Moore alongside Michel Ocelot and Mamoru Hosoda as the leaders of the current wave of international animation.
And, though it took a while, now US audiences will have a chance to get a look at this fantastic film, thanks to the people at GKIDS. The producers of the New York Childrens Film Festival, GKIDS have begun to venture into distribution recently - they handled Ocelot's Azur And Asmar - and are expanding their roster with Moore's film. The plan includes a theatrical release in March of 2010 following a brief run in Burbank from December 4 - 10th to qualify the film for the Oscars. And if this doesn't net a nomination then the voters are flat-out blind.
