The Secret of Kells
In the remote Irish woods, Cellach (Brendan Gleeson) prepares a fortress for an impending attack by a Viking war party. Unbeknown to Cellach, his young nephew Brendan (Evan McGuire) -- who has no taste for battle -- works secretly as an apprentice in the scriptorium of the local monastery, learning the ancient art of calligraphy. As the Vikings approach, revered illuminator Aidan (Mick Lally) arrives at the monastery and recruits Brendan to complete a series of dangerous, magical tasks.

Imported from Ireland, France and Belgium, "The Secret of Kells" raised quite a few eyebrows when it won a slot in the Best Animated Feature category at this year's Oscars, beating out better-known contenders such as "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and "9." (I would have loved to see one of my favorite animated films of last year, the still-underrated "Sita Sings the Blues," get a nod.) Now, finally "The Secret of Kells" is making its way into theaters around the country, and audiences can see what persuaded Academy voters. ("Up" ultimately took home the Oscar.)
