Az animációs évadunk újabb állomásán az írországi animáció világába teszünk látogatást.  Tomm Moore Song of the Sea (A tenger dala) című, 2014-ben bemutatott alkotásával foglalkozunk, melyben az ír folklór és legendavilág találkozik a modern környezettel. Az animáció készítője a Cartoon Saloon stúdió (Kells titka, Wolfwalkers - Farkasok népe). A történet főszereplője a kis Saoirse, aki képes a tengeri lények nyelvén énekelni, valamint a bátyja, Ben, akinek meg kell mentenie őt. Vendégünk Herczeg Zsófi, a műsorvezetők pedig András és Péter. A film gazdagon él az ír folklór vizuális elemeivel. De hogyan is indult a Cartoon Saloon stúdió, és hogyan jutott el az Oscar-díj jelölésekig? Érdekes kapcsolódási pont, hogy a stúdió a kezdetekkor együttműködött a Kecskeméti Animációs Filmstúdióval is. Hogyan befolyásolhatta a magyarokkal való korai közös munka Tomm Moore ír folklór trológiájának a stílusát? Saoirse karakterét mi teszi annyira szerethetővé? Az animáció stílusa, a síkok és perspektívák használata, valamint a rajzstílus milyen hatást gyakorol a film hangulatára? Jankovics Marcell és Don Bluth munkássága vajon mennyire tettenérhető Tomm Moore filmjein? Milyen érett témákat feszeget A tenger dala, mit mond el a testvéri irigységről és a szülői gyászról, az elfojtott érzésekről?

Meanwhile, Kuru IS mentioned, and we also have a cameo from Lawrence's racist book Recommendations Lockwood and Co (2023, created by Joe Cornish) Puffin Rock (2015, created by Lily Bernard, Tomm Moore, and Paul Young) Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2023, directed by Joel Crawford) Executive Decision (1996, directed by Stuart Baird) Cautions 2025:The World Enslaved By A Virus (2021, directed by Joshua Wesely and Simon Wesely) Pork Brains and Gravy Where They Wait: A Novel (2021, written by Scott Carson) Non-Stop (2014, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra) Plugs Thrawnderdome (https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/thrawnderdome) Getting a good nights sleep

Il est temps d'enfin hausser le ton... Ce superbe livre, magnifiquement illustré, invite jeunes et moins jeunes à réfléchir à la place donnée aux femmes et aux filles dans ces histoires qu'on raconte depuis si longtemps.

Tomm Moore, hailed by some foreign critics as the best animator working with hand-drawn animation after the Japanese master Hayao Miyazaki, has seen his latest directorial effort Wolfwalkers wow Chinese audience with its bold imagination and exquisite hand-drawn paintings.一些海外评论家将汤姆·摩尔誉为继日本动画大师宫崎骏之后最好的手绘动画师，其最新的导演作品《狼行者》以其大胆的想象力和精美的手绘画作令中国观众惊叹。As the fifth film produced by the Irish studio Cartoon Saloon that has gained an Oscar nomination, Wolfwalkers has been released in domestic theaters on July 3, obtaining 7.8 points out of 10 on the popular review aggregator Douban.作为爱尔兰卡通沙龙工作室制作的第五部获奥斯卡提名的电影，《狼行者》已于7月3日在国内上映，在热门影评网站豆瓣上获得7.8分（满分10分）。The new movie is a fantasy set in 17th-century Ireland. It is the final of director Tomm Moore's Irish folklore trilogy — the first was The Secret of Kells in 2009, and the second Song of the Sea in 2014.这部新上映的电影是以17世纪的爱尔兰为背景的奇幻片。它是导演托姆·摩尔的爱尔兰民间传说三部曲的最后一部——第一部是2009年的《凯尔经的秘密》，第二部是2014年的《海洋之歌》。Robyn Goodfellowe, the young daughter of a wolf hunter, travels with her father to Kilkenny, a city in the country's southeast as England is conquering Ireland. Under the command of England's Lord Protector, the city starts hunting down wolves, but things go awry when Robyn encounters a red-haired girl named Mebh who can transform into a wolf when she falls asleep.萝宾·古德费洛是一个猎狼人的女儿，在英格兰征服爱尔兰的时候，她随父亲来到爱尔兰东南部的城市基尔肯尼。在英格兰护国公的指挥下，城市开始猎杀狼群。萝宾遇见了一个叫米巴的红发女孩，这个女孩在睡着时可以变成狼，一切随之发生改变。Moore, who co-directs alongside his childhood friend Ross Stewart, says the film is inspired by local legends in Kilkenny, in which he grew up and where Cartoon Saloon studio is located.这部电影由摩尔和他的儿时玩伴罗斯·斯图尔特共同执导，摩尔称这部电影的灵感来自基尔肯尼的当地传说，他在这里长大，卡通沙龙工作室也在这座城市。"It was really exciting for us to remember these old stories that had almost died out, and it was also really nice for our international team of artists to rediscover the town where they live and work," says Moore, 44.44岁的摩尔说：“对我们来说，回忆起这些几乎已经消亡的老故事真的很令人兴奋，对我们由来自世界各地的艺术家组成的团队来说，重新探索他们生活和工作的小镇也真的很有趣。”After about 80 animators gathered, Moore says they reviewed Irish history in the 1650s when the powerful English statesman Oliver Cromwell tried to bring Ireland under control in what was reckoned to be one of the most aggressive phases of tensions between England and Ireland that spanned 800 years.摩尔说在汇聚了大约80名动画师后，他们一同回顾了1650年代的爱尔兰历史。当时强大的英国政治家奥利弗·克伦威尔试图掌控爱尔兰，人们称这是英格兰和爱尔兰之间跨越800年的紧张关系中最激进的阶段之一。"He (Cromwell) saw the country as wild, and he wanted to bring it under control to prove to the other people in England that he was a powerful leader," Moore says. "So he was quite ruthless with the local people (in Ireland), and also cut down a lot of the forests."“他（克伦威尔）认为这个国家是野蛮的，他想通过掌控爱尔兰向英格兰人证明他是一个强大的领导者，”摩尔说。“所以他对（爱尔兰）当地人相当无情，还砍伐了很多森林。”"He eliminated wolves from Ireland at this time. The extinction of the species really made a big impact on Irish people because we lost a connection that we had with the woods and the land. It was a very aggressive time in Irish history."“在这个时期，他除掉了爱尔兰所有的狼。该物种的灭绝真的对爱尔兰人产生了很大的影响，因为我们失去了与森林和土地的联系。这是爱尔兰历史上一个非常具有侵略性的时期。”Despite taking place in the darkest of times, the film unfolds through a poetic perspective to showcase the lush woods of Ireland, accompanied by some lighthearted moments.尽管故事发生在最黑暗的时代，但影片以诗意的视角展开，展示了爱尔兰郁郁葱葱的树林，伴随着一些轻松欢快的剧情。Another highlight of the film is the two heroines, Robyn personifying a civilized life restrained by secular doctrine, and Mebh, a wild spirit yearning for freedom.影片的另一个亮点是两位女主角，萝宾是受世俗教义约束的文明生活的化身，而梅布则代表着渴望自由的野性精神。"One of the most important things to say about Mebh is that she's very influenced and inspired by the voice actor Eva Whittaker, who did her voice in English," Moore says. "She brought a lot of her personality to it."摩尔说：“关于米巴，最重要的一点是，这个角色受到配音演员伊娃·惠塔克的影响，她用英语为角色配音时，将很多她的个性都带了进去。”In the film, Cromwell, based on the eponymous real historical figure, orders wolves eradicated because he wants to convert the woods into farmland. "There is a modern parallel," Moore says, sensing that modern audiences will relate to a story that looks at the relationship between humankind and nature.克伦威尔是根据同名的真实历史人物改编的角色。影片中，他命令消灭狼群，因为他想把森林变成农田。摩尔说：“在现代也有类似的情况，”他感觉到现代观众会对一个关注人类与自然关系的故事产生共鸣。"When we were coming up with the idea and talking about the destruction of the forests, we didn't imagine that during the production we would see Australia on fire, California on fire and Brazil destroying the rainforests. I think this is going to affect all of us. Even the film story is something that happened in Ireland a long time ago. We hope it won't be too late before other parts of the world can save their forests."“在我们提出这个想法并集中谈论森林破坏的时候，我们没有想到，在制作过程中，我们会看到澳洲山火，加利福尼亚大火，巴西雨林被烧。我认为森林破坏将影响我们所有人。电影讲述的也是很久以前在爱尔兰发生的森林破坏。我们希望待世界去拯救各个地区的森林之时，一切还不会太晚"。Because of the pandemic, Moore was unable to attend China's premiere, but he talks enthusiastically of a trip he made to Shanghai earlier, when a Chinese producer suggested that he tattoo the ancient Chinese characters representing inner freedom on one of his legs.由于疫情，摩尔未能出席中国的首映式，但他热情地谈到了他早期的上海之行，他腿上纹着的代表内心自由的古汉语就是当时一位中国制片人提的议。"We had great Chinese partners on this movie who helped fund the project and really supported us. I would really like to come back and work with them again, and see China in a little bit more detail."“我们这部电影有很好的中国合作伙伴，他们资助了这个项目，并且真心支持我们。我真的很想回来和他们再次合作，并更多地了解中国。”Citing some of the Chinese animated films that impress him most, such as Big Fish and Begonia (2016) and Over the Moon (2020), Moore says the high quality was striking.他还提到一些给他留下深刻印象的中国动画电影，如《大鱼海棠》（2016年）和《飞奔去月球》（2020年），摩尔说这些电影的质量之高令人印象深刻。He wants to continue to work with Chinese partners, and he says they are now working on a movie based on the Irish Children's TV series Puffin Rock. The movie will add a new character, a golden bird called Phoenix, designed to give it a Chinese connection.他希望能够继续与中国合作伙伴合作，摩尔说他们现在正在制作爱尔兰儿童电视剧《欢乐海鹦岛》的衍生电影。这部电影将增加一个新的角色，一只名叫凤凰的金鸟，让电影具有中国元素。For Moore, the key to producing a successful animated film is teamwork. "There's still so much to explore, and it's just a pleasant way to make a movie spending your day drawing."对摩尔来说，团队合作是制作成功的动画电影的关键。“还有很多东西需要我们去探索，用画画的方式来制作电影本身就是个非常愉快的过程。”记者：徐帆

"You're a wolf when you sleep and a girl when you're awake." The beautiful animated film Wolfwalkers is the subject of our discussion on this episode. It's a film about a young girl finding her place in the world who gets mixed up with some mysterious wolf walkers-- humans who can transform into wolves-- and finds herself at the center of the conflict between man and nature. The film comes from the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon, from directors Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, and stars Honor Kneafsey, Eva Whittaker, and Sean Bean.

Tomm Moore has been crafting some of the best animated films of the last decade including "The Secret of Kells" and "Song Of The Sea." Now, teaming up with Ross Stewart, the two's latest film "Wolfwalkers," which had its premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival and is currently playing on AppleTV+, is taking the animation world by storm. Already hailed as one of the best animated films of the year (and one of the year's best films in general), the film is a gorgeously animated and beautifully told Celtic story that is sure to win over even the hardest of cynics out there. Moore and Stewart were kind enough to talk with us for a few minutes about the film's story, hidden easter eggs, whether they intended for Bill Goodfellowe (voiced by Sean Bean) to come across as Ned Stark (from "Game Of Thrones") in animated form and much more! Take a listen down below and enjoy!

Today, we're talking high-quality, hand-drawn, 2D animation with Remi Chaye. Chaye recently released his feature debut as director, Long Way North. The film is breathtakingly beautiful and has some of the finest animation I've seen in recent memory. On this episode, we chat with Remi (and storyboard artist Liane-Cho Han) about the film, his inspiration for the story, the lessons he learned both from working with Tomm Moore on The Secret of Kells and from directing his own feature, the difficulties he had in simply getting the film made, working with a limited budget, and the challenges he faced with marketing and distribution.

This week, we welcome two-time Academy Award nominee Tomm Moore to the show. That's right, we're classin' up the joint. Tomm's two films were both nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. Those films were the astonishingly beautiful The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea. In this episode, we talk to Tomm about his career, heightened expectations that come with awards, commercial animation, the future of independent studios and traditional 2D animation, and the differences between European and American audiences.
