Kilkenny-based Cartoon Saloon is an Academy Award®-nominated animation studio formed by Paul Young, Tomm Moore and Nora Twomey in 1999. From award-winning short films such as From Darkness, Cúilín Dualach/Backwards Boy, Old Fangs, The Ledge End Of Phil, and Somewhere Down the Line, to TV series like Skunk FU! and now Puffin Rock (launched on RTEjr in Jan 2015 and to be broadcast worldwide later this year), Cartoon Saloon has carved a special place in the international animation industry.

 

Cartoon Saloon is pleased to welcome visitors to our studio every Thursday, where over 75 mins we will introduce you to the history, background and work of Cartoon Saloon. You will also be able to view a beautiful exhibition about the making of My Father’s Dragon, from early concept sketches to scoring the film, and to browse our little gift shop for some original Cartoon Saloon merchandise!
