Featured reviews
This is my favorite movie of the year so far, and may even be my favorite movie in years. I highly recommend this one!
It isn't afraid to try new things, which is extremely important in today's industry. Not only does every moment of the movie look exquisite, but the story is smart, original and hugely entertaining. With utmost care applied to its every shot, the adults will be marveling as much as the youngsters.
Visually quite par, the film keeps a fast pace, without excluding significant parts of Bilal's ascend as a hero, standing for his people's equal recognition, setting the milestone for a new era in the Arabic world of his time. Attention has been paid to every detail concerning the recreation of characters that have since appeared in most school books, contributing toward the education of numerous generations on the values of human rights and racial equality.
Stunningly rendered with beautiful attention to detail, the film eventually falters in its pace and storytelling.
This film, although based on the founding of Islam, is one that the whole world can learn from and appreciate. A story of identity, struggle and equality.
Cinematography, animation, voice acting, script writing, plot and so much more were truly astounding. I'm very proud for those who worked on this.
Not only was the choice of characters to present wise, including the likes of Abu Bakr Sṣ-Ṣiddīq and Hamza, but the way in which they were presented, portraying them in their appropriate roles.
I wish the film had been longer, but all good things come to an end, as the film hadn't portrayed all the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as I had wished. However, less can be more, as the focus on the presented characters was appropriate.
My one complaint was the movie's end credits. I would have preferred a more soothing soundtrack instead of Akon, as the soundtrack for the film itself proved to be brilliant.
In conclusion, I'd gladly purchase this masterpiece on Blu-ray to watch it over and over again.
Alhamdulilah.
Bilal: A New Breed of Hero is simply the best animated movie of the year 2016 because the animation was terrific,the acting was mesmerizing and the plot was impressively perfect.
This movie was beyond anything I'd imagined it to be. I had heard some great stuff about it and decided to watch it and I'm so glad I did. Kids will have fun watching this movie and learn valuable morals. Adults, on the other hand, will immensely enjoy watching this movie, will appreciate it for what it truly is and will understand its real meaning. This movie is just absolutely amazing, the best I've seen all year! Please watch it, you will not be disappointed.
