so, i actually had to make a list of movies to blog about because i'm so behind. what a mess.
secret of kells is this short (less than an hour) animated movie about a celtic legend of the book of kells. it's animated in a really wonderful style that's kind of a mix of power puff girls and yellow submarine (two things i love). the first time i watched it, i fell asleep of a little bit and when i woke up, i was confused. so, i rewatched the part i slept through, but i was still a little confused. but, i like that confusion. like, there are things we will never understand about other cultures and traditions.
i just read the first book in a series called the secret of the immortal nicholas flamel and these books work in all kinds of legends and gods and traditions. i feel like secret of kells will make more sense after i've read all these books.

Did this win the Oscar some year, maybe last, for best animated short? I really wanna see this one. It looks really pretty. I saw the book of kells in that big nice library in Dublin, at that college, Trinity Library? In Library Skool I took a History of Libraries class and it was really silly but the nice part was the pictures of beautiful old libraries.
