Here’s some (almost) live blogging: 3-year-old Drew Rodolosi (of Gloucester) dances to the music of Johnny Carwash in the Minglewood Tavern parking lot among some classic cars and bikes this afternoon. Wish I could do that!

“…discloses strange new vistas that nonetheless seem to have existed since ancient times.” -A.O. Scott, New York Times
“Rapturous! Stunning! A riot of color!” -Ella Taylor, Village Voice
“A visual feast…Unlike anything I have ever seen before!” -Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Do not miss the highly anticipated new animated masterpiece from the producers of “Kirikou and the Sorceress” and “The Triplets of Belleville.” Magic, fantasy and Celtic mythology come together in a riot of color and detail that dazzle the eyes in this sweeping story about the power of imagination and faith to carry humanity through dark times. Features the voices of Brendan Gleeson, Mick Lally, Evan McGuire and Christen Mooney.
Young Brendan lives in a remote medieval outpost under siege from barbarian raids. But a new life of adventure beckons when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying an ancient but unfinished book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him along the way. But with the barbarians closing in, will Brendan’s determination and artistic vision illuminate the darkness and show that enlightenment is the best fortification against evil?
Nominated for a 2009 Best Animated Feature Oscar.
