Having lost my wife to cancer (I can't believe it'll be 10 years this September), when she was 34, and we were about to celebrate 4 years of marriage, and 12 years together, this review hit me hard... I'm half afraid to watch this movie but it looks too beautiful not to, just hoping it has right type of message. Oh, and having an older son and younger daughter makes more surreal. Both are just barely adults now and all I hope is that I made them feel loved, both of them.

I am so sorry to hear that man. It seems to me that you are an extremely strong man for going through that and making it out . I sincerely hope that you’re doing better, and that the rest of your years are prosperous. It must have taken a lot of will power to push through that. You are an impressive human being. I’m sure that your children know you love them, I can’t speak too much on this, as I don’t know you personally. However, from that short comment, you seem like such an amazing Dad :) you should be proud of yourself.

This movie is so underrated, and always makes me cry. Thank you for giving it some love.

I absolutely love that you used soundtrack from both the Spiritfarer and Child of Light. These two games, for me personally, are the most beautiful games I have ever played. To this day I remember how I beat the final boss in Child of Light, credits rolled, Off to sleep by Cœur de Pirate started playing and I bawled my eyes out. Also Spiritfarer... i dont know how, but to me, that game brought a whole new perspective on hugs and goodbyes. Everytime a spirit passed on, I cried happy tears. That was the most therapeutic game ever, imho. Im glad I played both games blind, not knowing what I was getting myself into and I wish I there was a way to replay them again for the very first time.

Spiritfarer is an absolute MASTERPIECE

I remember watching this film when I was younger at a conference for those afflicted by medical conditions and rare diseases. It was small from what I remember, and I don’t remember all that much. But even years later, I still remember this movie. Something about it touched me when I was younger from its gorgeous animation to beautiful soundtrack, only now do I realize I loved it so much because of the story, even if I didn’t understand it all too much back then.

If there’s one thing I always remember about these movies it’s the soundtrack. Song Of The Sea, has a kind of ethereal wonder to it of exploring the ocean depths, Secret Of The Kells, has a somewhat childhood charm of exploration, and Wolfwalkers has a serious undertone with an embracing a new way of life

I watched this movie as a kid in the middle of summer. It was one of the most surreal, magical, and breathtaking experiences ever. It very much reminded me of ghibli with it’d magic and pacing, and I lived for it

This was my favorite movie. I'm glad it's getting some attention for once.

Ok cool, why do people care so much about that show? I honestly don't get it and feel like it was just a bandwagoning fad. Like I get it represented lgbtq characters but it isn't that crazy. It's not a masterpiece or even that deep to be honest. It just became popular because of the time it came out.

​@@sea_triscuit7980No its not a masterpiece but its a heartwarming show with sweet songs, love, character growth and lessons like how to deal with trauma or emotions so it connects to some people, but its not for everyone. Personally i love it because i watched it during a tough time in my younger life so it was important to me and then later i watched it in the beggining of my relationship where we bonded over the characters, the time spent laughing and crying and the relationships in the show so its one of my favorites. Its just enjoyable and some people like it and some people dont.

Voice actor?why are you so coward writing actress instead actor????

I know this isnt about the movie but i just wanted to appreciate that u put the music and the clip at the start of spiritfarer in this video. Its such a good game about moving on and it rly fits this video.

have you heard of the game Gris? it's a gorgeous 2d platformer with similar themes of grief, and if spiritfarer was up your alley, i can't recommend Gris enough

thank you so much for covering this movie, and it means so much that you bring up grief as a major aspect. my ancestry is heavily irish, but as an american with a family who didn’t stay in touch with their roots, i’ve had to learn about our culture, even bits and pieces of our language, completely on my own, having never even been able to visit my own native country (and who knows when i’ll even be able to). it’s a sense of loss, loneliness, *grief*, that i feel isn’t spoken about as often as it should be. films like this are so important to me, because it’s a mirror for that grief. it might not be the same sense of deep loss that one feels from losing a loved one, but it still is something i have to mourn, and a large part of how much it hurts is the fact that i feel as though i have to mourn alone. thank you for talking about this and, whether it’s intentional or not, providing a space to have that grief feel seen 🩵

I think I’m becoming numb myself Things that use to bother me don’t anymore I don’t tell people what’s going on with me anymore or where I’m going I just want to be left alone honestly But I watched this movie and it really spoke to me a lot it’s hard for me to open up again like I use to I thought it came with age or stuff I’ve been through but I was told it’s more then that and this movie really help me understand a lot about what I’ve been dealing with for the past 2 years now

This movie is beautiful, heartbreaking, and just a stunning film all over! I love it dearly I feel like this studio is so painfully underrated! Love your content!

The amount of beautiful art the artist had worked to make his movies its phenomenal and are all meant to be watched, they made the most artistic movies of our centuries

I’m loving the use of the Spiritfarer soundtrack in the beginning as well as the clip! Such a beautiful game about death and acceptance! I recommend it to everyone! 💜

One of the best games I’ve played recently. I shed so many tears each time a spirit moved on 😭

you saying you just want to be wrapped up in a hair burrito... so relatable. just love you!

While I really enjoy this video, I feel I have to say that the Selkie, as in Irish/Norse lore, is separate from the Good Folk, or what is referred to as "Fae/Fairies", in Irish folk tales. I only say this as the stories/lore of the Good Folk is disappearing in Ireland, more so as they get lumped in with European and british "Fairies"

This was the first of the trilogy that I watched so it holds a very special place in my heart. This movie is so beautiful, the music is amazing, and I find the vibes to be very cozy. I’m glad you’re covering it!

I absolutely adore this movie, it means so much to me. It came out the same year my great grandmother died and it really helped me through the grieving process. So glad to see you talk about this movie, you did an amazing job with it as always!

As an Irish person, this makes me so happy to see Cartoon Saloon getting the recognition they deserve! Fun fact: Baldur's Gate is also from an Irish studio ❤

I barely cry in my life and this movie had me bawlin.

Same here. I've been taking seizure medication that other people use as antidepressants since I was a kid, so I've been having trouble crying for years. As a person who has lost her mother and had a father who drank himself to death because of it, I had to force myself not to cry at the end of the movie.

ive recently lost an uncle and my maternal grandmother. i wasn't close with them and that was my biggest regret...but i couldn't bring myself to be present when their time came. i still feel guilty but i also hopd anger over them both for leaving our family when we needed them.

Thank you for giving this moving the love it deserves. I grew up with the dulaman song being from Galway, and I introduced my favorite movie to my us friends, who were in awe and surprised they've never heard of it

Now I want to see all of these movies now. They're so emotionally beautiful, and how much they have brings so much connection to everyone. Song of The Sea will be my first movie to experience it.

This movie is nothing less then a master piece and made me cry when I'm a person who doesn't cry over movies and it's a universally relatable story about grief that it made me go cry over my dead dog that's been dead for some years now so yeah its has gorgeous music and amazing art too

This movie is one of my favorites, and it was an introduction into an obsession with selkies.

This was my favorite animated movie growing up. I watched it every time I got sick - almost like a tradition.

Great intro pig, and gonna have to give this a watch lost my mom few years back and think would be helpful to give this a watch.Also had me teary eyed with the ending of the video fantastic.

i remember watching this movie when it first came out and back then i was pretty young at the time (idk like 12ish) and it destroyed me. it’s still one of my top 5 movies but i couldn’t watch for a while bc of how depressed it would make me

Glad you watched it, recommended the movie on comments for like 5 times straight, really helps out if youre grieving.

I just lost my grandmother a week ago, and in a bittersweet way it’s really my first time going through grief. I can already tell without having watched that this video is gonna make me cry

I go from screaming about roundabouts to this calm, serene video. Thank you. You definitely have an amazing voice-over talent.

I love how cute it looks, such a contrast to the story

I’d love to watch you make essay style videos not just about movies but about psychology and cool perspectives of the human experience 😺

I love these folklore animation reviews

i love the spritifarer music in the background truly hits

Can someone explain to me how Pig's hair looks better and better with each successive video???! Like wtf dude it's not fair!! 😊

I love this movie so much, I'm glad you're talking about it :D

This grabbed me by the throat. Please don't stop making these kind of videos. Will definitely check out the movie, might help me

I truly thank you for this vid and explanation on depression. After losing my mother at age 11. I describe it as a .. grey room with no doors, no windows, nothing inside of it, everything has the exact same tone of grey. There is nothing and this nothingness, slowly starts to consume you, consumes everything. Until nothing else matters, not even if youre alive or not.

I’m so happy that this movie is getting more recognition

You always choose to create videos on either the best most amazing underrated artistically moving life changing or the worst things you’ll ever lay your eyes upon and that’s exactly why I love this channel

Man I've really been loving alot of the movies coming out of ireland in the last several years, not just animated either! Sláinte and grma!

This was a beautiful film, I’m so glad it was made and put into the universe. It really is art

He's the only one that can bring me to tears from just reviewing a movie or series. I've seen, maybe, Jon solo review this film but it was more interesting and fun

Since you liked Secret of the Kells, Wolf Walkers and Song of the Sea. You should check out Breadwinner, it"s another Cartoon Saloon Animated Film. It's about a girl name Parvana who lives under Taliban rule in Afghanistan in 2001. The movie made me tear up a bit

NO WAY! Bro I'm a music teacher and I just taught a lesson analyzing the lyrics to the song Saoirse sings at the end of the move. The art style in this is probably one of the most gorgeous I've ever seen

Not gonna lie I’ve been on the other channel watching people die while the Chat bullies pig for so long that I straight up forgot this channel existed

AHHHHH YES IVE BEEN AWAITING THIS VIDEO THANK YOU SM!

Damn this made me remember omori one of my favorite games in one part you speak with a tree and it tells you "To survive without living as the character closed himself"

I did not need the emotional gutpunch of Spiritfarer playing in the first 2 seconds, man.

By far my favorite video of your's. Well executed

As someone with depression and struggling to explain how I feel, your explanation of depression is exactly that. It resonates with me heavily. The way you spoke nearly brought me to tears. Keep being who you are. Stay safe everyone.

I love these videos. Thank you for doing them. I wish I had more time to watch all of them.

This is such a great movie! Glad to see you talking about it!

THANK YOU i really loved this film thanks for reviewing it

So happy you're doing this movie. Loved this since I was a kid

Thank you so much for covering this movie, this is my comfort movie I love it so much it’s just so beautiful ♥️

Definitely a great movie! The ending makes me tear-up every time! ToT

Oh man, this movie was wonderful. Also omg you showed Spiritfarer, that game made me bawl (i still haven't finished it yet)

I recently lost a cat I had since she was a kitten. It still bugs me, but she did leave me with a kitten of her own so it feels like a part of her is still with me.

As a girl from ireland who had to what this in primary school, im happy we did. Loved this film

The “child of light” instrumental background just hits differently. I appreciate all your videos dude. Do what you do how you like to do em!!! Quality just gets better and better that way

Love your videos man

I’ve watched it and I love the hell out of it so much.

OH MY GOD I THOUGHT THIS MOVIE WAS A DREAM thank you for reviewing this I just got a bunch of memories of this movie🙏

The first time I saw this movie was in a small theater with several friends and all of us were crying by the end of it. One of my favorite movies for sure.

Not me starting this video while drinking and smoking because it's the only way I can feel anything most days

No matter what you think of this movie, we can all agree that it has the cutest seals

Genuinely beautiful video, Pig.

I decided to watch this movie thanks to your analysis. Thank you. It helped heal something I don't know needed healing

Happy to see the spirit fairer shoutout, that game makes me cry but its so cute

Hope this is one of the videos you were talking about posting because YOU were interested in the topic. Always enjoy your content Pig ❤

Grieving so much right now this couldn’t have come at a better time 💔

FIIIIIIIIIINE, ill watch it again. 7 years strong

I've seen this movie and I will say it's so worth watching it yourself. It's beautiful, creative, and just so eye catching.

This movie is so pretty!! Thank you for reviewing it

The spiritfarer music was a lovely touch

This film has been one of my favorites since it first came out. This year I decided to show it to my mom for St. Patrick's Day. She actually ended up getting a little mad at me by the end. But not because she didn't like it. She actually loved it. But she was mad at me because I told her it was just a cute Irish kids movie with pretty animation (because I didn't want to spoil anything). And during the final few scenes both of us were absolutely bawling our eyes out. So maybe learn from my mistake and warn someone before you show them this film lol. That said, it's a masterpiece, as are all of the other Cartoon Saloon films.

The use of Child Of Light music is so fitting for this video

Damn..this movie. Great video😢❤

ayOOOOOOO I was just looking for this movie yesterday

I watched this a couple years ago and it wow it made me cry.

Out of the three films, this one made me cry

Thank you for this pig. ❤️

I remember having watched this movie with my cousins while sitting in the backyard of my grandma and loving it. (Hope you enjoyed it also)

This movie is gorgeous

one of my favorite movies of all time!!!!

I love song of the sea, its beautiful in art and story.
