Sahara (2017) Reviews

• Found it on Netflix

  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.

• Proved better than ratings suggest!

  Found this animation by accident and decided to do a little background check on IMDb. Ratings were pretty low but as with most animated films that come to my attention I decided to give it a try and find out by my self. What I discovered was a classic lower class boy loves and rescues high class girl story, injected with some anti-racist and anti-drug messages, even a subtle but apparent criticism on current political events. Overall I'd go for entertaining with some interesting pointers and blame the low ratings mostly on lack of proper advertisement (practically none... ). On a final note, those of you inclined to poke the truth out of a pile of words, do take a closer look at those really negative comments and the country they're originating from. Sad to see people prefer walls over peaceful coexistence...

• Funny Netflix movie

  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.

• Totally Awesome!

  I just stumbled onto this on Netflix and was so wonderfully surprised. The art direction is beautiful. The story is a modern Romeo and Juliet mixed with Step Up. Be warned it does get very serious very quick at moments. So the age limit might be a touch higher than what you first might think. But it will only inspire kids hopes not break them. I highly highly recommend this one.

  This is so good. The graphics and everything is great. Storyline is quite long and I think they did a good job. They should've done a better job of promoting the movie. I say they only needed to promote it better. Receiving $8.1 M dollars is definitely not the amount they should've gotten. The characters were also really entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
