![]() “Computer animation is moving so fast that ‘Toy Story’ looks really ropy now,” he said. But Moore believes that computer graphics are subject to a built-in obsolescence. This approach sets it apart in the animation world, which has gone almost entirely digital. Cartoon Saloon produces movies using essentially the same techniques that he practiced on his father’s acetate sheets as a child. That success rather than stasis has kept him there is not an irony he tends to dwell on, but neither is it lost on him. “I grew up thinking it would be terribly tragic if I stayed in Kilkenny my whole life,” he told me this past spring, over Zoom. Now forty-three, Moore is a soft-spoken man whose serious and thoughtful manner is periodically disrupted by a gentle laugh. ![]() That theatre is also where he met his wife, Liselott Olofsson, a schoolteacher and a ceramic artist. ![]() Cartoon Saloon used to screen works in progress in a theatre at the high school Moore went to, and he would sometimes walk behind the stage and see where he’d written his name on the wall when he was fifteen. But it was given that status by King James I, four centuries ago it’s home to fewer than thirty thousand people. Kilkenny is technically a city-I was born and raised there, and I am more or less obliged to fight you if you refer to it as a town. Thirty years later, Moore and Stewart are the co-directors of “Wolfwalkers,” the fourth feature from Cartoon Saloon, an independent animation studio that Moore co-founded, in his home town, in 1999. Moore had felt strongly about the matter ever since his uncle, a farmer, asked him to pick out a chicken he liked, and he realized, belatedly, that he had selected not a pet but that evening’s dinner. His partner in this enthusiasm was a schoolmate named Ross Stewart, who also shared Moore’s passion for animal rights-a somewhat eccentric preoccupation, back then, for two Irish boys. Moore had joined the club because he wanted to make animated movies as a child, he had squirrelled away acetate sheets that his father, an engineer, brought home from work, and used them to paint cels with superheroes of his own devising. He belonged to a program called Young Irish Film Makers, and one day he overheard two of the group’s adult facilitators recounting the old tales. The animator Tomm Moore first learned of these myths as a teen-ager in Kilkenny, in the early nineties. The meat of their animal prey could be found in their teeth. If they were injured in the course of this lupine marauding, the wounds would appear on their human flesh. One myth held that certain natives of the region could transform into wolves, roaming the land while their ordinary bodies lay in a kind of trance. Cromwell’s men captured the walled city of Kilkenny, which was surrounded by forests full of wolves and was home to as many superstitions about them. The Army also appointed professional hunters to cull the country’s wolves. In 1649, Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army invaded Ireland on behalf of the Commonwealth of England, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Irish people. The implication, perhaps, was that it needed to be tamed. This sparked speculation among fans as to whether future Marvel films would feature the Grandmaster once more.In the seventeenth century, after wolves were hunted to extinction in most of the British Isles, Ireland was sometimes referred to as Wolf-Land. What seemed like the Grandmaster’s spaceship appeared in the opening episode of She-Hulk. The intriguing part now is that there are hints that the Grandmaster, played by Jeff Goldblum, may return. However, he is also considering a significant obstacle. How can they design a villain who is equally as tough as or even more so than Hela, the antagonist from a previous Thor film? This raises the question of where Thor will go on his next journey. There may be a fifth Thor movie in the works, which is exciting news for Marvel movie fans. Taika Waititi, the filmmaker behind the entertaining Thor: Ragnarok and the most recent Thor: Love and Thunder, has made hints about this possibility. There’s a possibility of Jeff Goldblum’s return in Thor 5 Even though this clip wasn’t included in the movie’s final cut it would have been very cool to see Bale and Goldblum fight it out on the screen. Grandmaster fights this new danger alongside Thor, Jane Foster, and Valkyrie, putting his creative skills to the test even though his warrior prowess is debatable. Grandmaster and the trio are caught off guard when Bale’s Gorr and his terrifying army launch a swift and unexpected attack. The Moon of Shame doesn’t turn out to be the peaceful haven it first seemed to be as the scene develops.
