Book of Kells and Secret of Kells Film

After watching The Secret of Kells I could certainly see similarities to the actual Book of Kells. The first thing that stood out the most was the use of bright colors. The Book of Kells is known for it's beautiful color range and that was displayed throughout the film. There were deep, rich colors in every scene. Additionally the designs used through the Book of Kells were seen throughout in various objects. The forest in the movie was the best example that showcased intricate details.

Lastly, when they showed Brendan's work on the book in the film, it looked exactly like the actual Book of Kells (especially the design within the circle on this page):
