Arjun, le Prince Guerrier

for animation who represent a proof of courage face to Japanese industry. for story - subtle lesson of moral, Indian civilization and brilliance of virtues. for music. and for the good taste of childhood , in case of adults, seductive adventures for children. the mixture between drawing and real places, the circle of story in story, the easy identification with Yuvraj, the crumbs of memories from Pocahontas, the scene of fights and, sure, the details, makes it charming. it is not perfect and many observations may be realized. but only by quarreling . the film is beautiful and may become classic. old recipes and correct work. and flavor of a slice from past in a subtle form of national propaganda.

Excellent movie who want to see "Arjun" in 2 hours.

I have seen other animation movies made on Indian epics. But this seems to be the best of all. Excellent Animation, Direction, Story, Sound track, everything. The songs and dialogs of the movie are excellent. The climax I thought could have been better as they build up nicely but did not led to expectations. This movie definitely seems to take the Indian animation movie to the next level and I have also known the way they made this movie that is the main reason I liked it and I gave 8/10.

However, the movie sure differentiate a lot from the actual epic and must not be watched for knowledge purpose or to know Mahabharata. There are many mistakes in the movie and story line as well, which, If I start explaining, may take a lot of my time.

Those who want to watch this, for entertainment purpose, for making their children aware about some hero in Indian history, for those who like animation and sound effects, for those who live abroad and want to see or show a glance of Indian ancient story to their family members, and for few others this is an excellent attempt by Arnab Chaudhuri.

Those who knows Mahabharata, those who want to know Mahabharata, those who like more realistic and factual storyline, you all must no rely on this movie as this is purely a animation movie.

Overall a pretty good attempt.

The Disney house offers us this unusual film whose target audience is in India. We have the story of Arjuna, the main prince in the Bhagavad Gita and one of the most important figures among the Lord's associates. This film emphasizes the figure of Arjuna, leaving aside valuable elements (such as his cousin Krishna who barely appears). Despite this, the story is faithful and entertaining, consolidating the stories of the Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavatam as worthy of being taken to celluloid. For those who want to know more about the great figures of the immense Vedic spiritual tradition, this film is worth seeing.

I like animated movies (and series too for that matter). Have been following the great works from American animation studios like Pixar, Disney, Dreamworks etc, and then all those Japanese studios cranking out stylish animes, I know our Indian animation industry has a lot of ground to cover.

That being said, animation in this movie impressed me. You simply cannot deny the detailed backgrounds and environments that were presented in this movie. They even put in cattle grazing on the fields which disperse when our Pandavas rush in on their horses. That scene made me laugh as well as awe in the thought they put in creating it. The lush forests, the architecture, I was exclaiming at every new environments introduced.

Story-wise, well it could have been better, but again this was a movie and moreover on Arjun and not the whole Mahabharata, so I guess I am OK with the creative liberties taken. The fights, I was very delighted at the use of Kalaripayattu in their choreography, all was great except the one where Arjun went all Bruce Lee.

Well enough said. Enjoy this movie!

Beautifully animated, good soundtracks and of course the dub perfectly matched with the characters, only the thing which I felt was missing is the 'The Mahabharat' war of Kauravas and Pandavas, the movie is indeed incomplete without it. I hope disney make another animated movie on Mahabharat.
