    good animation film

    Another animated film with an interesting story that will make you stay interested, throughout the film. Both kids and adult will like this one. Honest, Kind and simply Intelligent! Nothing irrelevant, nothing boring or whatever what makes people upset about any movie. Great plot and characters, lots of valuable significations.

    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.

    Not bad, Not good. for enjoing animation design

    Regarding my preview, I've broken it down into sections:

    Story: The pacing of the story is very fast, leading to many details being omitted. Additionally, important sequence are rushed, preventing emotional connection with the characters' journeys. The comedy in the story is good (4/10).

    Cinematic Performance: The traditional music is well-done, but some of the musical cues used between character dialogue feel out of place. Certain cuts and the overall storytelling sequence are not well-executed and cause confusion (5/10).

    Animation Design: The characters are designed exceptionally well and are very appealing. The animated world is vibrant and visually captivating (9/10).

    Overall, I would score it a 6/10.

    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.

    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.
