*New/Sealed*

Set in a remote medieval outpost of Ireland, the story follows young Brendan as he embarks on an adventurous journey when a renowned master illuminator arrives with a book filled with hidden wisdom and powers. To help complete the mystical book, Brendan must confront his deepest fears on a perilous quest that takes him into an enchanted forest where mythical creatures dwell. Here, he encounters Aisling, a enigmatic young girl with wolf-like qualities, who becomes his ally. However, as barbarians encroach, Brendan's determination and artistic vision become crucial in illuminating the darkness and demonstrating that enlightenment is the most potent defense against evil. The Secret of Kells received high accolades in 2010, making it into Kenneth Turan's Best of 2010 round-up, alongside notable films by Denzel Washington and Ben Affleck. Turan, the esteemed chief film critic of The LA Times, praised the film as one of the two offbeat animated films that brightened the year.
