Featured reviews
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.
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.
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.

Childhood memories. As of recently I have been re-watching some movies I watched and liked as a kid. From what I remembered this was one of the better ones so I decided to sit down and take a look at it.
I also enjoyed the soundtrack for this movie. It is very fitting and although most of the time it is the same melody it doesn't get irritating.
So if you want an hour and a half of mindless entertainment of family fun then this might be the one for you. Don't expect much but it is worth watching if you have kids and they want to see something new that you might also enjoy.
