Meghan Rinn called my attention to an animated movie, The Secret of Kells, that came out earlier this year. She points out that
The film ... uses the Book of Kells as a major plot point for a coming of age story. The book itself is shown several times and the movie ends with several pieces of the text being animated themselves and the film itself takes major design cues from the text.
It would be interesting in this age of electronic texts being designed with movie culture in mind to see a movie taking design cues from an (early medieval!) illuminated manuscript. Has anyone else seen the movie? What do you think of it?

I thought it was the most beautifully animated movie I'd ever seen. I was also suprized that despite the art style it had a pretty dark theme. I give it a 9_1/2 out of 10.
