Goofs
The image of the double rainbow shown near the end is incorrect. The colors of the second (outer) rainbow will be inverted, with blue on the outside and red moved to the inside. The second bow will appear dimmer or cloudier.

Q
Where was this movie filmed?
A
Most of the movie was filmed at Malin Head on the Inishowen Peninsula, the extreme northern tip of County Donegal, Ireland. A map of County Donegal, showing the Inishowen Peninsula and Malin Head, can be seen here. The orphanage scenes were filmed in an old hospital in Letterkenny.
Q
Who was King Fingal?
A
Fingal is the name given to Fionn (or Finn) mac Cumhaill, the king of the Fianna (aka Fenians), as retold in the Poems of Ossian (1765), written by Scottish poet James Macpherson [1736-1796]. Fionn mac Cumhaill (anglicised to Finn McCool) was a hunter-warrior in Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) mythology. Fionn is often described as a giant, and many geographical features in Ireland are attributed to him.
