The Legend of Sarila

A great story to remind us that good conquers evil!

Five stars for story, acting, cultural appropriateness, message of "the greater good of humanity" and faith in good spirits over selfishness and power. THis is a beautiful story and beautifully animated. This culture is over 10,000 years old and continues the traditions of today or 8,000 years before the Bible was written. It is all about community, family and morals. It also emphasizes a strong feminist role, and me as being thoughtful and sensitive family members and members of Native clans. These clans were communities who shared everything and continue to share to this day where community, family , tradition and honoring elders is very important. Thank you for a beautiful film. I am sorry the people who gave this animation low ratings completely missed the point that community is more important than the trump style of "its all me, me me".

I love stories about Native, Aboriginal, Indigenous and Autochthonous people of the world, and I can sometimes identify with and relate to some characters.

The only things I wish had been different were -That there was more of a backstorySlightly better animationMore DialogueHonestly, it just seems like they need a bigger budget maybe ? It was such a unique story. Great change from all the recycled ideas and most animation for kids on streaming platformsJEFF BEZOS !! FUND MORE

A character chasing others with a rifle in an attempt to commit murder is just not appropriate in a children's film. That the movie did not even address this character's attempted murder of his friends using a rifle was bizarre (yes, we all know it was the amulet causing the character to behave in this manner). Other aspects of this movie were fine but that scene was beyond unnecessary. A movie about good versus evil does not need gun violence. And the final scene was such a dreadful and uninspiring ending. Perhaps the film makers could have taught forgiveness or acceptance but instead, they suggested the characters cook the crow. There were quite a few missed opportunities to impart important life lessons on kids.

A creative idea that was lost in a story that didn't really seem to know where it was going, with a bad guy that wasn't really believable. Mix that with television show quality animation (which means it's not bad, but it's not up to the level or budget as most animated films these days), and a mildly amusing and interesting story...and you aren't really too inspired to recommend the movie.We thought we were going to be seeing a great Native American mythological story turned into animation, and if that had been the case, I would have been happy to have accepted the lower budget animation or whatever...but it's not. The best clips are in the preview, and the rest is enough to keep little ones happy for about 30 minutes, maybe an hour.Overall, if it came on television, there is worse stuff out there, but I wouldn't watch it again.

Cliched tale.

Anyone's who played Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna) or read Dan Simmons' The Terror will recognize the major players of this tale. Sedna, the Tuunbaq, and the fierce determination and humility of the northern peoples all make an appearance. While not as dark or nearly as grisly as other Inuit and Iñupiaq folktalks I've heard, it has heart and story. I'd recommended it for anyone who enjoys lighter-hearted mythology or may want to learn more.

Da habe ich beim Stöbern hier ja eine wunderschöne kleine Film-Perle gefunden! In ruhigen und spannenden Szenen wird die Geschichte des Inuit-Stammes und der drei Freunde erzählt, die sich aufmachen, das Land Sarila zu finden, um ihren Leuten das Überleben zu sichern. Nicht ahnend, was der alte Schamane des Stammes so alles ausheckt ... Die Charaktere sind liebevoll und nachvollziehbar handelnd gezeichnet, es gibt zwar den Begleit-Lemming, aber der ist einfach nur niedlich und singt im Gegensatz zu anderen Filmtieren anderer Hersteller kein einziges Wort! *g* Es wurde viel Wert auf kleine Details aus dem Leben im hohen Norden gelegt (obwohl ich mich über das Gewehr in dem Zusammenhang etwas gewundert habe). Also wenn es nach mir ginge, hätte der Film ruhig noch länger sein können, um noch ein bisschen länger in dieser Umgebung und bei den Charakteren verweilen zu dürfen.

Retourné parce que la description disait qu'il comportait la version en français, mais il n'en est pas fait mention sur l'emballage. Pourtant, la version en française existe. Faites attention.Ai reçu un remboursement sans discussion. Merci!

Schöner Film, aber keine Pop Outs.

Ruhig erzähltes, schönes Märchen, auch für Kleinere geeignet aber nicht langweilig. Nicht so perfekt animiert wie Pixar, aber mit Herz und Tiefgang!

Parfait Merci !
