I love you stylized animation, I love you funky electronic soundtracks, I love you media that dares to experiment with old franchises and characters, I love you weird and wacky humour, I love you creators and animators that bring new and original ideas into the industry, I love you voice actors for breathing life into wonderful characters.

I want a Lord of the Rings animated series done by Tom Moore.
Cartoon Saloon's style portrays fantastical intensity so well while also carrying the stories they tell with such lightness and fluidity. The 1978 animated version of Lotr leaned on the weight, action, and drama of Tolkien's trilogy but I think Moore could make something that would include the abstraction and artistry the story deserves.

As somebody who really enjoys cartoon saloon, I find myself looking for similar content all the time. I'm certain I'm not the only one who does this so I figured i would compile a list of content that scratches the same itch as cartoon saloon's itish folklore movies
So here we go!!!!
1. The Daughters of Ys
Tumblr media
Media type: graphic novel
About: The daughters of Ys is a graphic novel vatiation of a Brenton folktale. The art, story, and writing are gorgeous, and this is my top pick for similar content. I would sell my soul to get this animated.
Content warnings: nudity, implied sex, violence, murder
2. The Moorchild
Media type: novel
About: The Moorchild is a piece of children's fiction about a half-folk half-human, changeling girl. Despite being a children's book, it's one of my favorite pces of prouse. The story is engaging (even the second time around) and is better than most adult fiction I've read. Audiobook versions are available, too.
Content warnings: none
3. The Last Unicorn
Media type(s): Novel, graphic novel, animated movie
About: The Last Unicorn is a classic novel with an animated movie and comic adaptations. The 2d animated movie was released in 1982 by the Rankin/bass company. The film itself is whimsical. The animation is impeccable and is worth the watch for that alone. Also, they twinkified Prince Lir, hes so hot, oml.
There are several graphic novels from what I've seen. Each of them are just as good as the movie, but they tend to contain more of the world building.
The novel is worth the read even if you've seen the movie already. The lore and worldbuilding are so tasty, and there's so much cut out of the story cut out for the movie and graphic novel. Audiobook versions are available, too.
Content warnings: minor violence, nudity, and the movie has an overly sexualized tree you have been warned
I have more if you care to see them but right now i am tired as fuck, I'll make a part two later.

The Secret of Kells (2009) dir. Tomm Moore | colour palette
I have lived through many ages, through the eyes of salmon, deer, and wolf. I have seen the Northmen invading Ireland, destroying all in search of gold. I've seen suffering in the darkness. Yet I have seen beauty thrive in the most fragile of places. I have seen the book. The book that turned darkness into light.

So with the massive financial success that is the Mario movie, I've been thinking about how they could bring other Nintendo franchises to the big screen. I think the biggest thing is making sure that not every property is handled by the same company. Illumination is a decent fit for Mario but I cannot imagine them making a Metroid or a Star Fox movie without drastically changing the tone.
Let Laika make a Kirby movie, give Star Fox to Dreamworks. Disney gets nothing.
But most importantly and probably my biggest dream collaboration? I want to see an animated Zelda movie produced by the good folks over at Cartoon Saloon.
Not familiar with them? They're the people behind such amazing and beautiful films as The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea and Wolfwalkers

I cannot even begin to describe how excited I would be were this to happen. If you haven't seen any of these movies, particularly Wolf Walkers, I highly encourage you to check them out.
Anyway, less than a month until Tears of the Kingdom drops. Maybe this blog will live again. Hope to see y'all then.
