I love it when an airplane has the entertainment feature which allows customers to choose what they want to watch.
Anyways, I loved The Secret of Kells (2009), and so it just made sense to watch Song of the Sea. Overall, I liked Secret of Kells more than Song of the Sea, even though Song of the Sea is a great movie.
Song of the Sea is a cute, magical, and occasionally humorous movie.
20180901, 20180904:
The story of the movie felt unmotivated, but mysterious and magical.
However, I'd say the primary reason to watch this film is for the animation. The movie's art style is different from the typical 2D animation (e.g., Disney) which portrays events in a realistic manner. It's hard for me to describe at the moment, but it's different, fresh, and adds to the feel of the film.
On 20180901, Netflix determined the movie for me as a 59% match. I decided to give the movie neither a thumbs up nor a thumbs down.

2a: "You can hear the 'Song of the Sea.'"
2a: Nettle tea! I bought some of this recently.
2a: The grandma seemed meaner on arrival, but doesn't seem so bad by the time her son goes to the bar.
1: This is a mixture of cool, magical, and creepy (finds the white cloth and dons it).
1: The dad knows about the chest and robe!?!
1: The old man notes there haven't been seals in years.
2a: Pause a third of the way into the film. (26 min mark)
1: Haha. "Don't use the good towels they're only for guests." 1:15AM PT
2b: Hehe. (She wears the coat)
1: Hahaha. They look around in surprise but then don't think about it for more than a second.
1: Lol, and again. They're crazy. 2: I assume this comment is when the brother provides the final verse.
1: Lol. Opens the gate.
2b: Interesting. They didn't observe how there was an entire circle of those fairies.
1, 2b: Whoa, her hair strands.
2b: He's not all bad. He carried his sister through the sting nettles.
1: Lol, self-inflicted torture... that's why she's partially stone. 2: The witch @ 1:02:49
1: Lol. Cu and his tongue.
1: I got a bit teary the moment he said "I can get it. I can get her coat back." I don't know why. Maybe his conviction as a brother moved me.
1: Cute movie. 2:16AM PT
1: I'm not quite clear why their mom wasn't able to do any of this spell breaking.
Credits:
1: Credits show tracings/pre-finished drawings of various scenes.
1: I like this Song of the Sea (Lullaby) by Nolwenn Leroy, guitar, I will learn it. 2:21am. 1hr33min runtime.
