Incomplete and Depressing

Warning: Spoilers
Pros:
  • The included story was well written and told, and there were good morals taught in the movie. The characters were well written and I enjoyed seeing the main protagonist's character transformation. The song pieces were also good.


Cons:
  • The movie did not really have an ending, it just abruptly cuts off. Because of this, none of the antagonists are given their comeuppance and it just abruptly ends with a bunch of good people dying while the antagonists cheer on. Not a good thing to teach kids.


  • The film as a whole was much more kid-unfriendly than I expected, with a lot of the deaths with blood spurts shown onscreen, including multiple protagonists and innocent people in upsetting ways. Whoever thought showing a baby and their mother getting thrown into a fire was a good idea to include in a KIDS CARTOON should not be writing kids cartoons. Would definitely not show this to kids below 9 or 10, as there are plenty of more kid-appropriate, Islamic films for those younger.
