While the animation was imaginative, the actual story didn't grab me at all, feeling a like a rehash of The Secret of Kells. The dialogue was repetitive and the characters were one-note. It seemed like Robyn and her father had exactly the same argument five or six times through the course of the film.
Not nearly as good as the same studio's Song of the Sea from a few years ago (or, indeed, The Secret of Kells).
Side comment: the villainous Lord Protector is presumably supposed to be Oliver Cromwell. But he didn't seem to be named as such, either by the characters or in the credits. I wonder whether this was to void offending UK viewers?
