According to Tomm Moore, "Some friends in college and I were inspired by Richard Williams' unfinished masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler (1993) and the Disney movie Mulan (1998), 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, especially the beautiful tradition of Celtic knotwork that is so popular today.""The Nostalgia Chick" The Lion King (in 3D!)
