About Wolfwalkers

In a time of superstition and magic, when wolves are seen as demonic and nature an evil to be tamed, a young apprentice hunter comes to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last pack. But when she saves a wild native girl, their friendship leads her to discover the world of the Wolfwalkers and transform her into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.

Our take on Wolfwalkers

Cartoon Saloon's 2020 hand-drawn marvel follows a young hunter's daughter in 17th-century Ireland who befriends a wild girl able to turn into a wolf, upending everything she's been taught about nature and freedom. Gorgeously stylised and quietly radical, it's animation as folklore and protest. If its artistry and spirit moved you, seek out lyrical hand-drawn animation and fables about the wild, the tamed and the bonds between them.
