'Here’s another little gem from Cartoon Saloon, the Irish animation studio that brought us Wolfwalkers, full of colourful action and bizarre but believable characters. Nora Twomey’s film, taken from Ruth Stiles Gannett’s 1948 children’s novel, sweeps young Elmer (voiced by Jacob Tremblay) from rural happiness to urban poverty to a fantastical floating island. There, he and a friendly but inept dragon, Boris (Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo), have to somehow save the land from sinking while evading wild animals led by Ian McShane’s silverback gorilla'

This Charles Cullen is the same one that's in the Netflix film "The Good Nurse", starring Jessica Chastain (which was a decent watch).

Watched first 2 episodes of 1899 last night. It’s very good. I saw someone on here compare it to ‘The Terror’ but I don’t see it. I gave up on Terror half way through, just found it too boring and story at that point was about a wild polar bear killing the crew. This 1899 so far is a real original mystery, it’s Dark at sea in the turn of the century, and seems to have bits of Lost creeping into it now.
