Hmm, never heard of it before, but it looks, and sounds pretty good.

Heh...I'm actually going to be in Ireland when this comes out. Somehow that makes it automatically cooler. The animation is also really fascinating to watch and the story seems cute if nothing else, so I would definitely be up for seeing this if I get a chance. Although their accents seem off in the trailer.

Hey, Matt: Dead link.

Dunno if that means it's product or copyright, but the site comes up 404.

For those of us who can't see it, could somebody do a short synopsis?

Wikipedia and Youtube hold all the answers. :)

Interesting! They are staying with the old Irish style of art; such as you would find in the Book of Kells (or the Lindisfarne Gospels).

Classic Irish early midaeval art. Neat!

definitely want to see this for the art style.. the boy himself almost look like he's from the fairy odd parents, though, or some similar cartoon.

It's from the same team that made Skunk Fu. I like their style, because almost like Samurai Jack, but with more curves and less contrast. This movie looks really well done, and hopefully the story will just as good.
