Where Irishmen in Covid lockdown?

Thanks @ionicBreezeMachine for your in depth review of the history of the stage version of Riverdance, the origin of the music by Whelan, and suggestion of irish-based animation such as Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, and Secret of Kells.Your review succinctly explained the reasons I just didn't like this movie despite the beautiful animation in this film. As half-hispanic, I appreciate many of the animated movies that have debuted in the past few years. They seemed to have hired latino voice-over actors, writers and done half a decent job with research of latin american culture.With the amount of work that went to animate this story, the creators couldn't do the same with Irish actors, writers and researchers? As soon as the two comedic fat deer open their mouths with American accents (one an African American), I cringed. There has to be a million Irish actors that could have pulled them off. Maybe they didn't want to be a part of this show.I loved the music and dancing but could only get halfway through the movie and started fast forwarding.

Love the music....but

I'd give this movie more props but some things just didn't really help with the story or make any sense. First off, why have the frogs and the sheep?! They don't add any charm or sense to the story whatsoever, second, I feel like if the producers/writers/crew got more Irish voice actors, that'd add more depth to this movie, third, we needed more songs/dances, for example: Thunderstorm, the Irish Deer help Keegan see that even in dark thunderous storms, the skies will clear. Also the "huntsman" what makes him so intimidating? He's an obese guy with no backstory. All in all, I'd say this a decent movie, love the songs and dances in it.
