Kilkenny Animated

Hosted by five-time Oscar ®nominated animation studio, Cartoon Saloon – whose 25th anniversary celebrations formed part of this year’s programme – BAFTA-winning Lighthouse Studios, and Schweppe Curtis Nunn Events, Kilkenny Animated is a celebration of the creativity and craft of animation, set against the backdrop of medieval Kilkenny in the heart of Ireland’s Ancient East.

Last year’s Kilkenny Animated Festival featured a stellar line-up including Disney legend, Glen Keane, and Beryl creator, Joanna Quinn.

What’s in store this year? You’ll have to wait and see!
