Song of the Sea Artbook Reviews

  Bottom line: if you loved the movie and were entranced by the gorgeous art style, this book will not disappoint. I certainly don't regret buying it or reading it, since Song of the Sea is one of my favorite movies ever. This artbook includes tons of images where you can see the original designs versus what we eventually saw on screen. The last part has a large amount of sequences showing how the shots were composited, and I LOVE seeing those puzzle pieces come together.
  
  Yet as far as art books go, this one leaves something to wish for in terms of designing and embellishing the book go be an artwork all on its own; and it also needed a bit more editing to polish up the written bits.
  
  In other words, they are very much packing this book with images and some text, with very little graphic design to give the book an identity that matches the movie. Little touches like adding colored endpapers (if a patterned endpaper was too expensive for the budget) are what make artbooks really beautiful to hold and experience.
  
  There's also a few typos in the text that were easy fixes and I'm surprised nobody caught them before publication. Some of them were repeats, like "villian". Also some of the text is in italics and some of it isn't? All I'm saying is this book would have benefitted greatly from some personalized graphic design.

  Song of the Sea is my favorite animated movie, so it was enthralling to read about its creation and see the progression of the art that went into it. I always love to see sketches that contain the seeds of ideas that would eventually be beautifully rendered in a final product, and I appreciated how this book often walked through that process step by step. It also discusses the features of Irish folklore and history that form the roots of the story.

  Điều mình thích trong phim
  - Macha - nhân vật phản diện trong phim đã không bị cậu bé Ben trả thù vì hãm hại Saoirse mà Ben vẫn dùng lý lẽ của mình để giải thích cho Macha hiểu điều đó không tốt. Macha sau đó còn giúp đỡ Ben để đưa Saoirse về đến nhà tìm chiếc áo khoác giúp cô bé phục hồi. Ở đoạn cuối phim, một kết thúc thật có hậu là bằng tiếng hát của mình, Saoirse đã giải thoát con trai của Macha khỏi hóa đá và chữa lành vết thương lòng của ông ấy.
  Một bộ phim hay và đầy tính nhân văn, rất rất thích hợp dành cho thiếu nhi, chưa kể đến phần hình ảnh và âm nhạc trong phim rất rất tuyệt vời.

  Includes extremely useful information for my research project. Since I (sadly) could not correspond with any members of the studio, this is a fitting substitute.
