About
You’ll likely enjoy this animated musical epic if you want grandeur, big emotions, and a familiar story retold with music; Not for you if you dislike intense religious themes or very dark imagery, or if you were expecting something lighter like Mulan (1998) or The Lion King (2019).
Pros: stunning ancient Egypt visuals; epic musical storytelling; emotional sibling conflict | Cons: intense, unsettling moments; some pacing feels rushed; story differences noted
