5/5
A beautiful story
by C. Owens (Arizona)
We rented this movie and had to buy it. It's a wonderful story full of old fashioned adventure. Makes its cultural commentary without hitting you on the head with it. Visually breathtaking!
5/5
Excellent
by Leona Mattos
This is the most beautiful animation I have ever seen and that includes walt Disney animation. It was like watching a live action movie, except in gorgeous animation. The movie was very good too. I dont think I would recommend it to very young children, but from 16 and up, all will enjoy.
5/5
Enchanting!
by B. Francois (oly , wa)
Beautiful film that uses sound and lack of sound in a powerful yet subtle way! Colorful and great messages.
5/5

Glad to expose my children to such beauty.
5/5
Amazingly beautiful film
by Lily Brown
This is one of the most beautiful children's movies that I have ever seen (and I have seen a lot over the years). The graphics and especially the colors in this movie take your breath away, the music and singing are very moving, and the story is a new fairy tale, full of wonder and enchantment, but with some nice modern twists to it. I don't understand the objections of some other reviewers. There is nothing unsuitable to very young children (it's fine for 3-year-olds, although it may be better for 4-year-olds & up).
Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest Summary
Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 03/17/2009 Rating: Pg
Leisurely paced and intricately rendered, this computer-animated fable centers around two men from the Middle Ages who grow up as brothers, suffer a separation, and learn to live as equals again. North African nanny Jénane (Hiam Abbass in the French version; Suzanna Nour in the English) raises her brown-eyed son, Asmar, and his blue-eyed friend, Azur, but the latter comes from a line of noblemen. Jénane teaches the toddlers a song about a prince who rescues the Djinn Fairy from captivity. By boyhood, Azur lives in the castle, but continues to play with Azur, until his father sends him away to study and dismisses Jénane. As an adult, Azur experiences prejudice for the first time when he ends up in a North Africa village where the inhabitants view blue eyes as bad luck, so he keeps them closed and begs for his supper, like fellow Frenchman Crapoux. In the interim, Jénane and Asmar have become wealthy. With the help of the beggar, a tiny princess, and a Jewish sage, Azur competes with Asmar to free the fairy and make her his bride, but only one can prevail. French animator Michel Ocelet's follow-up to
Kirikou and the Wild Beast
moves slow by American standards, but the abundance of vibrant arabesque animation and absence of pop-culture wisecracks offers ample compensation. Though too complicated for some pre-schoolers, the DVD includes a British version with dubbed dialogue and subtitled French and Arabic songs. Anthony Minghella’s favorite composer, Gabriel Yared, provides the enchanting score.
