Rating: 2/4 -- Suffers from a confusing narrative and a style of computer animation that blurs the lines between the real and the animated in a way that evokes the discomfiting artifice of "The Polar Express." Full Review

Bilal: A New Breed of Hero's adventurous tale is a step into the international field of genre storytelling with the one thing it could always use more of: a new perspective. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- "Bilal: A Brand New Breed of Hero" took forever to get here, and probably will be missed by the masses. It deserved a better fate. Full Review

A fable about a real-life hero from the early days of Islam....Epic in its ambitions and often visually and emotionally strong...

Rating: 3.5/5 -- It has the lens on a hero who's not the usual white American or even European character and it's from a voice that is rarely heard of in the west in film and pretty absent in animation. Full Review
