Discovery Family Film Club: Wolfwalkers

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 rumoured to have the ability to transform into wolves by night. As they search for Mebh’s missing mother, Robyn uncovers a secret that draws her further into the enchanted world of the Wolfwalkers and risks turning into the very thing her father is tasked to destroy.

Set in medieval Ireland and drawing heavily on the rich country’s mythology and folklore, WolfWalkers is yet another gem from award-winning Irish studio Cartoon Saloon (Puffin Rock and the New Friends, Song of the Sea, The Secret of Kells). With a distinctive visual style that represents the two colliding worlds of Robyn and Mebh, WolfWalkers explores the importance of following your instinct and setting free through the friendship between two seemingly enemies.
