I came across this film a couple years ago, on Netflix, while looking for something for my kids to watch. I have always been interested in myths & legends, so the premise appealed to me right away.
The animation was absolutely beautiful. It's not realistic but it looks like something out of a children's story book. The story itself is enchanting. Even my son, 7yrs, looked up from his video game to watch. My 2 yr old daughter also stopped to watch, particularly during the singing parts. The music is hauntingly beautiful. The story is suitable for any age.
It centers around selkies but also includes many other creatures and characters from legend. Think twice before passing this one over.

Back in the late 1990's, I worked for an Indian doctor who wanted to give me a taste of Indian cinema. He loaned me this movie for a weekend. My mom & I watched it together. We enjoyed it so much we watched it multiple times. The music & dancing was was fun, the costumes were gorgeous, & the storyline was really good. I may have to watch it again sometime as I see it's available on Amazon Prime.
This is a very interesting & fun documentary to watch. There are photographs & home movies spanning from the Queen's childhood up until recent days. Prince Charles narrates. He has a very pleasant voice. I could listen to him for hours. I also love the language & expressions they use. As an American, I find it fascinating. They all speak so eloquently. It's so soothing.
The Queen, herself, & members her family (Prince Charles, Princess Ann, Princes William & Harry, & a few of the Queen's cousins offer commentary on the subject. It really is interesting to see the Queen running, singing, & playing with her sister as a young child. To see large family gatherings (on her mother's side). There's a comment about how Prince George is now running & playing in many of the same places. It reminds me of watching the home videos my grandpa would play for us every year, at Christmas. They may be royal but they're a family & they're essentially like most other families (but with a castle or two). It's really refreshing to see.
