If you loved Song of the Sea, try The Secret of Kells

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tomm Moore, and they both carry the tender mood tag, and they sit in Animation / Family / Fantasy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Song of the Sea, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Secret of Kells is

An Irish monastery’s youngest apprentice trades marginalia for merlins. Tasked with illuminating a sacred book before the Vikings arrive, he slips past the abbey to borrow a magical crystal from the woods’ resident hellbeast. Everyone gets back before vespers, even the hellbeast.
