History edit

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 edit

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]
