We're back from our impromptu summer holidays, and we want to share tales of our travels to a remote island in the North Sea where we learned How To Train Your Dragon!

A rare gem of a film from the often dubious Dreamworks Animation, livening up the oft-spun yarn of a boy and his dog with the inclusion of Vikings, dragons and explosions. In the midst of this spectacle however is a ton of heart and a surprising maturity with themes of empathy, staying true to oneself and learning to overcome disability. Now why couldn't that be the thing that Tumblr latched onto?

A true showcase for the talent of the Irish animation industry (along with France and Belgium) The Secret of Kells is a fantastical, serene and beautiful imagining of the creation of one of Ireland's most famous artworks. Taking inspiration from the Book of Kells itself Cartoon Saloon bring its intricately illuminated contents to life in a paean to the nature and importance of art and how it brings hope and happiness into a world that can be dark and frightening. And not once do we mention it was nominated for an Oscar!
