The film, which is set in the early ninth-century monastic settlement of Kells, is based on a concept which Moore had been exploring a decade earlier while a student of animation at Ballyfermot Senior College in Dublin in 1999. With his co-director Nora Twomey, Moore and the Cartoon Saloon studio have achieved international acclaim for their work, including nominations in the Best Animated Feature Film category at the Oscars for The Secret of Kells in 2010 and for Song of the Sea in 2015. More recently, Twomey’s The Breadwinner (2017), which is set in Afghanistan and stylistically encompasses a more naturalistic and real- world look, also received an Academy nomination for Best Animated Feature in 2018. Moore is currently co-directing a third animated feature, Wolfwalkers, a mythic tale set in Kilkenny that is inspired by local history and legends and is due for release in late 2020.

By Mark O’Connell December 11, 2020 n the seventeenth century, after wolves were hunted to extinction in most of the British Isles, Ireland was sometimes referred I to as Wolf-Land. The implication, perhaps, was that it needed to be tamed. In 1649, Oliver Cromwell’s New Model Army invaded Ireland on behalf of the Commonwealth of England, leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Irish people. The Army also appointed professional hunters to cull the country’s wolves. Cromwell’s men captured the walled city of Kilkenny, which was surrounded by forests full of wolves and was home to as many superstitions about them.

It follows Michael Connolly, a twenty four year old who has cerebral palsy and long-term resident of the Carrigmore Residential Home for the Disabled, run by the formidable Eileen. His life is transformed when Rory O'Shea moves in. Michael is stunned to discover that quick witted Rory, who can move only his right hand, can understand his almost unintelligible speech. Rory's rebellious nature sparks a flame in Michael, introducing him to a whole new world outside of Carrigmore. Together the two men set themselves up in a flat employing Siobhan as their personal assistant, to cook, clean and take care of their needs. Siobhan soon becomes integral to the boys’ efforts at successful independent living and begins to realise that this responsibility brings as many complications as it does rewards. Inside I'm Dancing is the story of what happens when two frustrated, ambitious and romantic young men, determined to live life to the full, reach out and grasp their opportunity. It is a humorous film, which demonstrates how human beings can reach their potential by overcoming prejudices (including their own) and barriers in order to live inspirational and fulfilled lives. The developing friendship between Michael and Rory allows them to create the conditions to free themselves in order to live independent lives. But to live as they wish (without rules) brings its own consequences.
