Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest review

Reviews
By Total Film published 8 February 2008

Why you can trust GamesRadar+ Our experts review games, movies and tech over countless hours, so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about our reviews policy.

French animator Michel Ocelot won critical plaudits but few bums on seats for his enchanting Kirikou And The Sorceress. His latest outing, Azur & Asmar: The Princes Quest, deserves better. It’s a beautiful tale of two princes – one European, the other Arabian – competing for the hand of the legendary Djinn-fairy, set in a fantastical Morocco that teems with multi-coloured mosques and intricate palm trees. Azur weaves its message of racial tolerance into an Arabian Nights-style adventure with ease. It also throws in a supporting cast of memorable characters such as Crapoux, a phlegmy-voiced Monty Python escapee, and naughty, knee-high Princess Chamsous. Shrek will be green with envy; everyone else will be utterly beguiled.
