My Take
What draws me to Tomm Moore is his refusal to chase Hollywood's scale. From Kilkenny, with Cartoon Saloon, he turned Irish myth and Celtic line-work into films that beat far bigger studios on feeling alone. In an era where computers can render anything, he kept the warmth of the hand-drawn frame, and his 2015 European Film Award felt earned rather than awarded. I admire artists who dig into their own roots instead of imitating trends, and Moore is exactly that kind of maker. His Newry origins and folklore sensibility give his work a rootedness most animation simply lacks.
