Line 13:
* [[The Faceless]]: Fiona's father. For the majority of his screentime, he's only shown from the shoulders down.
* [[Foot Focus]]
* [[Free
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Anyone who understands Irish knows that Roan Inish translates as "island of seals", perfect name for an island that's home to selkie descendants.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Fiona, the blonde hair is a trait of the Coneely family.
Line 22:
* [[Magic Realism]]
* [[Missing Mom]]
* [[One
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Inverted. Eamon abandoned his parents who moved to the city. Played straight with the selkie abandoning her children.
* [[Raised By Wolves|Raised By Seals]]: Jamie.
* [[Raised By Grandparents]]: Fiona and Eamon
* [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]]: In the Coneely family every generation has one child with these features, as a mark of the selkie lineage.
* [[Real Place Background]]: Filmed entirely in Donegal.
* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: The selkie from the story, as it's mentioned she speaks archaic Irish to the islanders.
Line 35:
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: The selkie, though she can't change shape without her seal skin.
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Jamie actually (eventhough he's five years old). He doesn't actually put on clothes during the whole film.
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: After Fiona goes to visit her grandparents, her father is never seen again and isn't even mentioned at the end. You'd think the family would let him know {{spoiler|his son has been rescued and they're living back on the island}}.
