'Song of the Sea' director and producer champion traditional animation

Our young reporter Aoife spoke to Tomm Moore and Paul Young, the director and producer of beautiful new Irish animation Song of the Sea. Animation has been revolutionised in the past decade or two by the advance of computer generated animated films, but there are still those who believe in the power of a hand-drawn cartoon. In the interview above, Aoife finds out more about why the pair behind Song of the Sea believe storytelling and traditional animation are still so important.
