Sahara

Never heard of it, just put it on cause we couldn't find anything else. It looked like an old movie until we put it on and the animation was really good. The story unfolds a bit slow, but entertaining. Well worth our time. Both me, my gf and our daughter (7 years old) loved it.

I see it gets low review scores here, which is odd, cause it was much better than many of the best animated films this year.

So I'm wondering..why haven't anyone heard of this movie? Whoever tried to promote this movie did a horrible job. Shame on you. It's sad to see only the big animated movies win. If I ever saw a trailer of this movie, I can't remember it. There are many funny characters here too. Really well animated etc. Still, even in the pictures section here on IMDb it's really lacking content. Really strange!

A good movie, but something went really wrong when this came out. Hope those somebody can learn from it and make more movies. It's also probably. One of the first movies that make "the evil" creatures like snakes and scorpions into heroes. That concept would easily look stupid, but this works.

The first thing one notices about Sahara is that it's visually stunning, with an art style that looks high-budget yet sets itself apart from the average CGI flick. Coupled with decent sound design, the film has good production values on the surface.

Unfortunately, the script, storyboarding, and directing fluctuate between decent and cringe-worthy. Sometimes the action can be involving and the humor genuinely funny. But at other times it can be derivative or just plain awkward. The snakes in the film sometimes talk like humans (for example referencing Batman), which at those moments makes the film feel very cheap. Other times they actually steal jokes from other places. Some moments the film just feels clumsy like a demo reel. For example, I almost dozed off during the "climax" of the movie because the action was kind of confusing.

Unfortunately, the writers and directors of the movie missed an opportunity to capitalize on the great production values with a solid script. It felt like someone whipped up the dialogue and refused to have it reviewed by anyone else. That said, it's not a bad movie. It's worth watching if only for the nice animation, and it shows that there is potential for new players in the CGI realm (who aren't from Pixar, Disney, or Dreamworks) to make something great-if they just step it up a little bit more.

A shame honestly, since it had a lot of potential (like a lot of other animated movies), but it ends up wasting it. While there are certain interesting parts such as the tense relationship between Ajar, Pitt and Gary at certain moments in the film, or how beautiful certain animations and places can be, there is not much else to highlight, since the story itself is generic, and also has many plot holes and does not explain certain things such as why dusty and green snakes got on badly. I think it is cliche, but even so, I recommend it to hang out, since some parts that are interesting, but nothing more.

It felt like the characters where acting bad. Which is strange because its a animation. Than I realized It was a France movie, with very very bad English voice overs!. For instance the voice of the main character in English sound like a little boy, but original sound like a real man. I normally prefer English voices but this movie really gets better in original voices. Still not a very good movie but not bad too!

Sorry for my bad English, im Dutch with dislexy.

A really funny movie, that I stumbled upon on Netflix. This is a funny animation with great characters. It is a shame that it does not seem to have hit the big screens or have great reviews, however I believe this animation movie is better than some animations that have received great reviews. If you want to relax and have a laugh this is the movie to watch.
