Having enjoyed the animated movie a lot (4-stars!), I thought I'd give this adaptation a go. It's fine enough, but definitely watch the movie first because the sound and motion add so much to the story presented here.
I must admit that I'm quite ignorant of the real world events surrounding this
But the story can simply be enjoyed as one of friendship and magic helping good overcome evil. Plus wolves -- always awesome!!

The wolf pack and supernatural beings here seem to represent the Irish people themselves, being destroyed and pushed from their land by Cromwell's imperialism.But the story can simply be enjoyed as one of friendship and magic helping good overcome evil.
