So if you have any squeamish kids, be wary when you bring them to the theater to watch this movie. While impressively fluid and dynamic in its programmer movements, the depicted battle is rather graphic, which would explain the PG-13 rating. Near the end of the movie, there is also a rather heavy emphasis on the war between the greedy lords and merchants who rule over Makkah and those they oppress in the city. As an adult, Bilal (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) meets the Lord of Merchants (Jon Curry), which is again a drawn out sequence of awkward dialogue and “look into the chains of your heart rather than the chains of your arms” reprimands. Bilal and his sister’s capture by slaves abruptly ends his childhood sequence, going on to introduce the two children as teenagers in the next scene.
The beginning feels like a nice introduction into Bilal’s childhood aspirations to become a hero, yet falsely led me into believing that his childhood would make up the majority of the film. The film focuses heavily on moments that develop towards the lesson audiences are supposed to learn but then rushes through everything else that happens in-between. In terms of plot, the story feels like stop-and-go traffic. The characters have nearly no life to them and sometimes the flow of a scene is made awkward from the intermittent dialogue. The voice actors (while including many well-known talents) sound like they are reading directly off a script or perhaps reciting words from a book.

The movie opens by noting that it is a story about “equality and freedom” based off of “true events.” However, despite this encouraging opening, the movie plows forward with a rushed plot and choppy dialogue. Even more interesting is the fact that the film is based off of real life warrior Bilal ibn Rabah (580–640 AD), the prophet Mohammed’s first muezzin and the first slave convert in Islam. Alavi, and Yassin Kamelīilal: A New Breed of Hero is an interesting first it is the first feature animated film from Dubai. Screenplay by Ayman Jamal, Alexander Kronemer, Michael Wolfe, Khurram H.
