Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia'Cú' literally means 'dog' or 'hound' in Irish, while more specifically he is an Old English Sheepdog.
- GoofsWhen Granny finds the ghosts in the bin on Halloween, she threatens to call the police. Being Irish and living unmistakably in Dublin, she would not use the term police, but would instead threaten to call "the Guards" (or "Gardaí" in Irish), the usual term for police in Ireland.
- Crazy credits"Behind the scenes" wireframes and animatics from the production are shown beside the credits as they roll.
- Alternate versionsIn the cinema release, the words 'Feic Off' are written on a wooden door. On the UK Blu-ray release they have been removed.

Featured review
So emotional traditional Irish story ,, brilliantly produced :)
The songs and the music is so magical it takes you so deep in the ocean and so high up the Irish highlands traditional stories.
The Oscar nomination was no foul, for me it is as good as Big Hero 6 but maybe the latter has more Action,, yet the storyline and plot here is tighter and more intriguing.
There were some Irish sentences where i'm lost .. couldn't get few words ;) :D but i lived for a while up in Glasgow, Scotland so i kinda got used to these mysteriously "charming" accents ;)
Don't keep your emotions sealed in jars :) It's been really so long since i'v watched an Animated movie with so much heightened emotions :) In the final scene i really felt like crying ...
Overall it's recommended , hope you enjoy it guys ;)
