    Storyline

    • Trivia
      'Cú' literally means 'dog' or 'hound' in Irish, while more specifically he is an Old English Sheepdog.
    • Goofs
      When 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.
    • Quotes

      Bronagh: My son, remember me in your stories and in your songs. Know that I will always love you, always.

    • Crazy credits
      "Behind the scenes" wireframes and animatics from the production are shown beside the credits as they roll.
    • Alternate versions
      In the cinema release, the words 'Feic Off' are written on a wooden door. On the UK Blu-ray release they have been removed.

    Let the song of the sea sway your heart..:)
    Amazing artwork and amazing story! I must say this movie has a story to tell that will work up to your emotion just like sea touching a stone and fills it with life. Music is great! The use of color and environment is so vivid and well thought. "Song of the sea" takes you into a emotional and adventurous journey with Saoirse and Ben. I strongly recommend to watch this animated movie. If you are a fan of animation you will simply love it. I've watched quite a lot of work of Studio Ghibli. 2D work like this is rare to come by these days. Wonderful creation! You should make movies like this and unlock a part of us which has been lost in the waves of time. Thank you. :)
