Cartoon Saloon: Celtic and Christian Coexistence
Risking Enchantment
"I have seen beauty thrive in the most fragile of places. I have seen the book. The book that turned darkness into light." In this episode I am joined by Robyn Conroy to discuss the representation of Celtic and Christian heritage in the animated movies, The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea by Irish animation company Cartoon Saloon. Along with highlighting the beautiful artwork of these movies we also delve into how Catholics can interact with other kinds of cultural traditions and beliefs.
