We are deeply saddened by the passing of Jon Kenny, a friend of Cartoon Saloon since he first joined us way back on our second feature film Song of the Sea and again on WolfWalkers.

Jon’s talent and deep appreciation of Irish folklore and storytelling brought his characters to life, leaving an enduring impact on our films and making his characters, Ferry Dan, The Great Seanachaí and Stringy, firm fan favorites.
