Review: Skellig the Owl Man is a new kids fantasy film that has elements of the Neverending Story.  The magical Owl Man turns up to watch over this boy after his life has essentially fell apart.  Skellig is a reluctant old man living in a shed, when this boy, Michael, shows him kindness, suddenly things start to change.  The film is very emotional and does deal with topics of illness and death.

The blu-ray high-definition looks fantastic.  The sound quality is great and he production value is high.  This is a great quality film that every family should enjoy together.
