“Puffin Rock” was an animated television show that aired in 2015. The program was aimed at preschool audiences, looking to bring a little gentleness and animal activity to impressionable viewers. It was also created by Cartoon Saloon, the Irish studio responsible for magnificent films such as “Song of the Sea,” “The Breadwinner,” and “Wolfwalkers.” “Puffin Rock” has stayed in circulation and popularity due to its quality, and Cartoon Saloon revisits the series with a feature-length adventure, “Puffin Rock and the New Friends,” which is meant to reunite with familiar faces and establish new characters. The picture isn’t created to launch a major cinematic event, holding true to the tone of the original series with some upgrades in animation and a bit more suspense when it comes to storytelling. Perhaps the target demographic for the movie remains small, but anyone can genuinely enjoy “Puffin Rock and the New Friends,” which provides a brightly animated and honeyed voiced journey with charming characters and vibrant environments.
