In a time of superstition and magic, a young apprentice hunter, Robyn Goodfellowe, journeys to Ireland with her father to wipe out the last wolf pack. While exploring the forbidden lands outside the city walls, Robyn befriends a free-spirited girl, Mebh, a member of a mysterious tribe rumored to have the ability to transform into wolves by night.
The Oscar-nominated Wolfwalkers is a story of friendship and acceptance. The unique hand-drawn animation, the original story, the links to nature and myth, make it an instant classic for all ages.
