It's hard to find good Arabic musical. This musical movie could have been much more.
The story is inspired by daddy-long-lengs which made it feel nostalgic at least for me. Although the plot has some original aspects (I haven't read the book yet but watched the anime as a kid), the writing is actually amazing. The acting, visuals, songs, and art direction isn't bad either.
What annoyed me with this movie is the dialogue. It seemed like they were trying to write the script in modern standard Arabic but realised that their cast can't speak standard Arabic so they went for a confusing hybrid dialogue instead, where it's neither proper standard Arabic, nor colloquial dialectical Arabic. I would have not mind if this was written completely in a mix of different dialects instead or if they had replaced the cast with less known new artists and actors who could actually speak standard Arabic and rewrite it completely in standard Arabic, but this mix of linguistic registers was confusing and annoying. It had the potential to be a 8.5/10 stars movie.
