AZUR & ASMAR
Azur et Asmar

An exquisitely crafted new animation from the creator of Kirikou and the Sorceress - a lavish Arabian Nights-style world, in which two brothers explore magical lands brimming with danger.

A long time ago two boys are raised as brothers. Azur, blue eyes and blonde hair, son of a lord, and Asmar, black eyes and brown hair, son of the nanny. Some years later, the brothers embark on a quest to find the beautiful Fairy Djinn. Our heroes encounter the Scarlet Lion and a giant, regal bird, and many other delights… More than an engaging and beautifully animated film, Azur and Asmar is a persuasive and elegant plea for tolerance.
