Cartoon Saloon Inspiration

Found some lovely animated snippets yesterday from Cartoon Saloon who made The Secret of Kells (2009) on their channel on Vimeo. The first one has a rough, textured pencil quality to the lines which you see rarely in 'cleaned' animation. Although the style is different, the line quality is very similar to what I am aiming for so is useful reference. The second I find very simple and sweet and features a young girl and a tree, so again, ideal inspiration for my film.
