Kids will be enchanted, adults will be enraptured. It’s somehow light as air yet overwhelming, both ineffable and unforgettable.
The beautifully rendered result proves to be even more than one had hoped for: a visually dazzling, richly imaginative, emotionally resonant production that taps into contemporary concerns while being true to its distant origins.

This movie should have been in theaters worldwide. Wolfwalkers is one of the absolute greatest masterpieces to ever watch in this streaming service on Apple TV. Although I did not watch it on Apple TV I have found ways to watch the movie. The traditional animation style is absolutely soothing for my eyes I just loved every transition of this movie from visuals, movement, and color which proves their hard work making this movie. I loved the story in this movie. It was so intriguing and amazing and it even has an impact and climax to end the story which has the best storyline this movie has to offer.I also loved the characters in this movie. Robyn and Mebh were my two favorites that this movie has to offer Their relationship, their chemistry, and their perspective really carried the movie storyline, and honestly, for me, I actually like them as a couple too bad that did not happen but it's still good enough to see them as best friends. This movie is an absolute masterpiece and it is best recommended for those who are absolutely new to Apple TV.

The only thing that can conquer fear is love, and Wolfwalkers loves its characters, their world, and the stunning beauty of human life. But most of all, it loves the truth that is buried within the myth.
Stewart, Wolfwalkers borrows something from werewolf mythology, another thing from Irish history, and more than a few things from the animated fantasies of Hayao Miyazaki and emerges with a dazzling feature that ultimately establishes its own distinct pattern.
A vibrant and expressive fantasy, magical and unyoked to realism without pulling any punches about the destructive folly of manifest destiny.
A lovely, satisfying saga, Wolfwalkers has the feel of an instant classic.
This is a charming and thoroughly likable film.
Robyn Goodfellowe is like Ky Kiske, in this essay I will explain why Robyn Goodfellowe of Wolfwalkers is very similar to Ky Kiske from Guilty Gear
To start, Robyn and Ky both are blonde ponytail wearing religious prodigies hailing from Europe (Robyn from England and Ky from France). They both harbor a hatred to creatures they have been trained to hunt being Wolves for Robyn and Gears for Ky. At the start of their stories they are eager to hunt. However upon meeting a person from the other race (Mebh for Robyn and Dizzy for Ky) they begin to question their once staunch views. This leads to Robyn and Ky both going against the major political powers (the Lord Protector and the Conclave respectively) and becoming a part of the race they hated at the beginning of their story. With them even become close to the people they met with Robyn and Mebh becoming sisters and Ky and Dizzy marrying.

When you spend this much time on the animation, you should spend at least as much time on the script. Not so here. An astonishing visual landscape is given the short shrift by a repetitive and imprecise screenplay. The Wolfwalkers are human while awake but during sleep they “astral project” themselves into wolves – the entire plot hinges upon the capture of the Queen wolf, but all she had to do to escape was wake up. Stupid. Add to this about three dozens scenes where the villain threatens the main characters with increased servitude – plus shrill voice acting from two teenage leads – and you’ve got yourself a film that looks far better than it actually is.

Beautiful art style, score, and storytelling. Masterful.
But subtext is important in media, especially ones geared towards family consumption.
Unfortunately the entire plot is firmly cemented upon the popular and lazy reframing of colonialism and patriarchy. Unnecessary cheap shots abound - Christianity, authority figures, patriarchy, fatherhood, hunting, woodcutting, (work in general), townspeople, but mostly just men, are villains of this story, while the wild woods people and their pack of wolves can do no wrong.
As usual in these movies (just look at three decades of Disney), the parental figure, usually the father, is a poor listener, and has to learn his lesson of not being so protective, and the child is always right to think and act according to their impulses. These movies snidely poke fun at the family unit and tempt our children to remove themselves from the family's way of thinking and protective influence. That's a firm no from me.
Another decent movie spoiled by woke-ism.
