About

Riverdance: The Animated Adventure, follows an Irish boy named Keegan (Sam Hardy) and a Spanish girl named Moya (Hannah Herman Cortes) as they journey into the mythical world of the legendary Megaloceros Giganteus, who teach them to appreciate Riverdance as a celebration of life. This is an animated adventure of sight, sound and dance as you’ve never before experienced!

The film features a score written by Bill Whelan, which combines the main themes from his original Grammy award-winning stage show music with an entirely new set of arrangements. Whelan’s new film score re-imagines the emotional and elemental themes of Riverdance.

Directed by Dave Rosenbaum and Eamonn Butler, Riverdance: The Animated Adventure also stars Pierce Brosnan (Die Another Day, Mamma Mia!), Lilly Singh (Bad Moms, Ice Age: Collision Course), Jermaine Fowler (Coming 2 America, Friends of the People), Pauline McLynn (Father Ted, The Young Offenders), John Kavanagh (Vikings, Alexander), Aisling Bea (This Way Up, Living with Yourself) and Brendan Gleeson (Calvary, the Harry Potter series) plus features a brand-new single by Ireland’s musical sensation, Lyra.

“This transcendent entertainment is what makes Riverdance a unique and exciting source for an animated feature. Our film celebrates the power of music and dance in new, unexpected ways. It illustrates the richness of Ireland’s history, nature, people. And it brings to the screen an original world full of comedy and drama, drawn from our imagination.”
Dave Rosenbaum, Writer & Director of Riverdance: The Animated Adventure

“This beautiful story brings Riverdance into a new and exciting phase, one which will allow families to enjoy the spectacle together. It reinforces the deep connection of Riverdance to Irish culture both at home and across the globe, and one which introduces Riverdance to a new, young audience many of whom will be experiencing Riverdance for the first time.”
Moya Doherty, originating producer of Riverdance and Riverdance: The Animated Adventure
