Best animation movie

The best animation film of 2022 and last years!

Beautiful story, great characters, inspiring in every way. Great graphics, wonderful music!

A must watch!

Not a child themed film

Do your research on this. Might be rated General but clearly the review panel didn't watch past the first 10 minutes. Not suitable for children under at least 8. Very dark themed scenes. Far too much ommonousmusoc and dark characters.

Script elements such as Stupid Child Sre frequent. There's a plane crash, death of a mother and quite dark semi violent screenplay.

It's clearly made and set in an Arabic context but very little of the culture beyond toughness and darkness is evident. Really it's an animation but it's one to miss for a small child. There's very little by way of light or uplifting script. Largely dark if reasonably animated.

Good effort, not so good outcome!

I wanted so much that this animation to be good and the only good thing about this animation is the movie poster, when you see the poster it put so much high expectations which is not meet during the mivie, graphic and animation is decent, voice over is soulless and very stiff and doesn't conveying any emotions, but the worst thing is the story, the story line doesn't make any sence and my 6 and 9 years old kids noticed that too, for example a boy that never spoke with any human suddenly speak fluently, and director wanted to tie the story to an plane crash that happened 30 years ago that doesn't make any sense.

very nice, beautiful and interesting

I watched it with my sons, we enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much all persons made it. I liked the sound of mrs Sorayya Ghasemi and mr Nader Soleimani. I liked the story of movie, the message of love to family specially mother. Two brothers worried about each other all the time and help together and think to safe the seas and the world, try to destroy the darkness of the see and take back happiness and hope and safety to all the world. Love to mother is one of the best messages during the movie. I liked the songs played in movie with the subject matter of loving mother as the best person in life.

Movie for children that is not for children.

Just one warning, if you take your children to see this animated movie as I did with my 4 year old daughter, likely that they will be a bit scared as it has very dark and grim tone througout. Jokes are there in some parts but they are not funny and wrongly placed. Animations are very solid, also setting under the see and it's characters are very vivid and impressionable. My question is for which audience is this movie as it is advertised as family fun type of and it not delivers there. So if you are looking for carefree time and lighthearted movie that will lift your spirit and make you laugh I would the avoid this one.
