Azur And Asmar


Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest (2006) is a feature length film by Michel Ocelot and is the tale of two "princes" who grow up hearing the fairytale of the fairy princess and both intend to rescue her and win her heart. Although this film has been rated quite highly I did not enjoy it or the visual style it uses throughout.


Overall I found the audio track irritating and also alot of it is in arabic with no subtitles which makes many scenes hard to follow and also the soundtrack is rather prominant and noisy which after a while becomes irritating to listen to. The  visual style is also somewhat uncomfortable to watch as the use of flat colour against 3D rendered parts looks very wierd and does not work well together in my oppinion. The use of colours and patterns is very visually stunning throughout but sadly the combination of two different styles of animation (2D flat and 3D) spoils this greatly.
