Bilal: A New Breed of Hero

This is a huge movie, seriously huge. The quality is top. The music is great, and I left singing it; the lead characters are very likable, with memorable sidekicks; and there are even surprises, things you would never expect to see in a animated film! I have been singing part of your world and reflection for years and i feel that let it go and most songs i will be singing for years to come. It was new and yet nostalgic and took me back to my childhood years and recreated the spirit of the movies i adored tenfold. It has something for everyone and that is why i loved it so much. Everything from action and romance and comedy and fantasy and not forgetting the tears.

This is my favorite movie of the year so far, and may even be my favorite movie in years. I highly recommend this one!

This is not a Hollywood Animated movie, so no need to put it with Toy Story and judge. it is different but in a good way.the artistic texture of the movie is impressive, and yet so (Un-Hollywood) if I might say. each scene is done as it was a classic drawing, a visual joy( the battle scene is simply a cinematic epic. the conversation is very strong and at times it lands on poetry borders. the music is masterpiece, so reflective of the main essence of the movie: the search for freedom. the characters are presented in a clever way,even the villain has his own reasons,no black and white melodrama like most animated hero movies, and the hero was pushed to be a hero, they gave him no other option but to be one. isn't this what happens in real world? in short, Bilal is about a slave who was freed by his faith, and this turns to be much more for him - and for others- than just removing the visible chains..but also about the invisible hidden chains that lie inside and make people their own enemy. Bilal, a NEW breed of hero..and a different kind of movie.

An awesome story excellently produced. Amazing story line and execution. Never knew such a Hero ever existed in the human history. The film shows how Bilal grew up from a Slave to someone who shows the path of the liberation of human kind. The historical era is beautifully recreated in the movie. The extensive research done by the production team is commendable. I happened to see this movie by chance and would have definitely missed a good film if i haven't.

Thank You Barajoun and the team for bringing Bilal's story to the screens. The animation is top class and the characterization is perfect. A must watch movie for all ages.

A seemingly conventional story for the eternal battle between good and bad transforms an ancient myth into an epic animation that can move both younger and older audiences.

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.

To put it simply, this movie is a jewel: After being in love with it for quite the time, I have decided to settle down and write a review for it, because no matter how much praise it gets, this short animation film deserves more.All the people who did voices for the movie did very well. I was very impressed by how they got the mood just right and how you could just feel the emotion. The music and the animation are extremely well done. Another great part of this movie is the animation. People these days are getting so used to computer animation that when they see stop-motion, the first thing they think about are all the flaws in the movie. To me, that is the beauty of it. Everything you see is man-made by artists and craftsmen. It's awesome.

All in all, this movie is a 8!! Go see this movie you won't regret it!!!
