Top notch story telling Bilal is certain to leave a stunning visual animation legacy for generations to come.
It is not often you are at a certain time in a certain place where a pinnacle moment permits a window for you to say I was there! Bilal is the first feature animation film to come out of the UAE and it leave a lasting impression. I was thrilled to have been able to see it at its birth if you will.
With its rich story and characters, the technical production values and top notch story telling bring the characters to life through the drawings, movement and rich vibrant colours created by top notch animators.
The story upon which the film is based is derived from the real story of Bilal a young African slave from Ethiopia who finds his voice through hardship and the synchronicity of life.
In true epic cinematic style we are captured from the start and remain immersed in a story which spans the hands of time.
A thousand years ago, one boy with a dream, of becoming a great warrior is abducted with his sister and taken to a land far away from home. Thrown into a world where greed and injustice rule all, Bilal finds the courage to raise his voice and make a change. Inspired by true events, this sis a story of a real hero who earned his remembrance in time and history.
Indeed Bilal the film will leave a legacy. Classical in its animation form and delivery, Bilal engages and captivates the audience with a lyrical story arc setting the state for an emotional trajectory with highs and lows moving us along a path. A great story must be able to generate and captivate it’s audience with animation sustaining the promise. Bilal delivering a powerful message.
Award-winning Ian McShane wvoices Umayya, the merchant who enslaves Bilal and his sister.Top notch actors such as Michael Gross, Jacob Latimore as Bilal and other notable actors. The production utilized bankable talent and was able to create a classic film which has earned its own place in animation film history.
