Secret of Kells Crushes A Christmas Carol, Ice Age, Meatballs in Massive Oscars Upset
WRITTEN BY SETH ABRAMOVITCH
Most people had never even heard of The Secret of Kells when it was shortlisted in December by the International Animated Film Society's Annie Awards. The Irish-Belgian-French co-production immediately caught our eye for its highly stylized 2-D look and medieval subject matter, and lived up to the promise of its trailer when we caught its one-week qualifying run back in December.
And that run paid off handsomely: Kells was announced this morning as one of the five features up for Best Animated Film, accompanied by such heavy-hitters as Up (nominated too in the Best Picture category), Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Princess and the Frog. It's a feat made all the more impressive when you consider who Kells had to squeeze out of the race to earn its slot: box office behemoths like Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsand Disney's eleventy billion dollar exercise in dead-eyed Dickenasia, A Christmas Carol.

Suantraí & Goltraí or Slumber and Weeping music.
According to legend the Tuatha Dé Dannan were exceptional musicians. One story tells of these magical performers who were asked to play for a proud king. The Tuatha Dé Danann were still sore from being forced underground but these musicians accepted the invitation nonetheless. Legend has it that they first played 'Geantraí' or jovial music, which got the entire congregation off their feet and dancing, then they began to play the 'Goltraí' or weeping music and the people in the castle were overcome by a fit of woe and weeping. They then played the 'Suantraí' or slumber music and sent the entire castle inhabitants to sleep. When the king and his people awoke the next day the castle had been ransacked, and the musicians were nowhere to be found.
