A Hollywood animated feature about Islam's Prophet Mohammad is due to debut in 37 North American cities on Nov. 14, a holiday in the Muslim world that marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan. The film, entitled Muhammad: The Last Prophet, had originally been set to premiere here three years ago but was shelved following the Sept. 11 attacks. It was produced by RichCrest Animation Studios and directed by Richard Rich, whose previous films included the animated The King and I and The Fox and the Hound. The Arab all-news channel al-Jazeera on Thursday quoted John Voll, director of Georgetown University's Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, as saying: "The movie is especially relevant in the current time when so much of the media presentations of Muslims and Muslim life is so negative."
