Riverdance: Ein animiertes Abenteuer

Well made movie , lovely hearing real Irish accents and also some of our amazing landmarks and the lore behind them, great way to pass 90 mins!! Animated well storyline could he a little better but both me my wife and kids (8+5) loved it !! Think the low ratings are harsh for what it is.

We have seen Riverdance the musical many times and we really appreciate hearing the music. Animation is decent and story so-so but we enjoyed watching.

Thanks @ionicBreezeMachine for your in depth review of the history of the stage version of Riverdance, the origin of the music by Whelan, and suggestion of irish-based animation such as Wolfwalkers, Song of the Sea, and Secret of Kells.

Your review succinctly explained the reasons I just didn't like this movie despite the beautiful animation in this film. As half-hispanic, I appreciate many of the animated movies that have debuted in the past few years. They seemed to have hired latino voice-over actors, writers and done half a decent job with research of latin american culture.

With the amount of work that went to animate this story, the creators couldn't do the same with Irish actors, writers and researchers? As soon as the two comedic fat deer open their mouths with American accents (one an African American), I cringed. There has to be a million Irish actors that could have pulled them off. Maybe they didn't want to be a part of this show.

I loved the music and dancing but could only get halfway through the movie and started fast forwarding.

Bit of light entertainment that can teach younger children about loss. Really nice film.

We love music and this one hit the ball out the park. There's always self-doubt, but learning through various experiences is what this movie teaches. Never miss an opportunity to learn.
