Heart touching, Emotional Movie.
An Awesome Movie This was really a funny, heart touching movie! Man, I had never been so emotional by watching an animated movie so far, until now. The plot was amazing! It's a must watch movie! Love is just beautiful! This is the number one animated movie according to me, it even teaches us that money is not everything, but what matters the most is the heart!
Wonderful. A simple plot but with refreshing story-telling. It had one idea in mind and didn't try to cram as many twists and turns as possible which most movies do these days. This movie is proof that a well-written storyline is all you need to make a movie entertaining, visually exciting and leaving you wanting to watch it again. No politics, no controvery, no forced ideologies from either side - just some nice, beautifully animated well-written and loveable characters in a relatable world but with a hint of magic. Very underrated and I would definitely recommend. - NinjaNotToday - 3 February 2023
I feel like this movie isn't talked about enough!
I started the movie simply because I love animation and am always looking forward to new animated movies coming out. At first, yes, it very much felt like Disney's Aladdin, which is fine as a fun different take, but even I found myself cringing a little as Long's lines were a little too close to the Genie's. Then, the movie truly takes off and becomes it's own masterpiece. The same theming and heart of Aladdin is there, with a different setting and story telling approach, which I loved a lot! The twist in the middle got a few of my siblings, and although some of the jokes fell flat, others made us burst from laughter. The characters are likable and all have a depth to them I appreciate. The pacing is good, and gave lots of different scenes and moments that feel distinct and memorable. The climax is actually pretty intense, but it doesn't feel too out of place from the rest of the movie. I've now watched this movie 4 times and suggest it to people, It's become one of my favorites! Give it a shot, because I feel like this movie is severely underrated. And don't turn it off before the first 15 minutes because "it's a rip off of Aladdin", because it really comes into it's own and becomes one of the best animated watches in the past few years after that point :)
