We were intrigued and mystified when the Oscar nominations were announced and The Secret of Kells earned a Best Animated Feature Film nod. Some of our initial questions were: “What is this film? When is it coming out? And is it just us or do the characters look like Amanda Seyfried and/or Elijah Wood?”

Now that we have the trailer, we get a sense of why the movie was selected for the honor (because it looks thoroughly awesome). We’re primed for its theatrical release, which begins March 5th in NYC!
