History

Cartoon Saloon was established in Kilkenny during 1999 by Tomm Moore, Nora Twomey, [8] and Paul Young. [9] The three were all alumni of the Ballyfermot College of Further Education’s animation degree course. [10] Cartoon Saloon began working on a trailer for its first feature film, The Secret of Kells , that same year. [11] However, the film did not enter full production until 2005; the company animated corporate work such as advertisements as they searched for funding. [11] Meanwhile the studio of 12 animators relied on commercial and corporate work including web-site design and CD ROM production with Paul Young focusing on illustration whilst Tomm Moore undertook the animation. [12]

Both The Secret of Kells and the studio’s second feature Song of the Sea were inspired by The Thief and the Cobbler and Mulan while the founders were in university. [13] Tomm Moore, the director of both films, said "Some friends in college and I were inspired by Richard Williams' unfinished masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler and the Disney movie Mulan , which took indigenous traditional art as the starting point for a beautiful style of 2D animation. I felt that something similar could be done with Irish art." [14] A 2001 meeting with Les Armateurs proved instrumental in the effort to secure funding for The Secret of Kells, and the company helped in the production of the final film. [15]

The success and Oscar nomination of the film in 2009 led to major offers for Cartoon Saloon, but the studio chose to remain independent. [16] This led to a difficult time financially for the company for a few years with the partners having to take out personal loans to keep the studio afloat. [17]

As of 2021, Cartoon Saloon is in production of its TV series, Vikingskool and Nora Twomey's second feature for Netflix, My Father's Dragon . [18]

Services

The studio provides animation, illustration and design services for clients ranging from Disney to BBC to Cartoon Network. [19]

Cartoon Saloon also provided the graphics for the successful Emperor of the Irish exhibition at Trinity College Dublin, in 2014. [20]
