On a secluded island, in a faraway sea, the animals live in peace and prosperity. But one day, the winds of fate bring humans to their shore. Down come trees and up go houses, farms, and a bustling market. The humans capture the animals and put them to work. A great sadness falls upon the land, and only a young boy named Adam can hear the animals cries. Compelled to act, Adam escapes into the jungle and joins with the remaining free animals, attempting to summon the Spirit King Bersaf. Will the king bring the humans to trial for their harmful actions? Will justice be had? Will balance return to land, sea, and sky? This multicultural environmental tale is inspired by a 1,000 year old animal fable from 10th century Muslim Iraq, which was originally translated by a Jewish rabbi at the command of a Christian king in the 14th century."

The stylized artwork is breathtaking. I absolutely see the ancient Arabic artistic influences in in the intricate details of the animals, the people, and their clothes, the golds, the floating celestial figure. This version may be based upon an ancient fable but it (sadly) still is relevant today, with humanities penchant for pollution, wastefulness, and uncommon cruelty towards each other and animals. This tale strikes a cord in me. And Demi is not afraid to show the brutality among the beauty, with visuals of a starving beaten donkey, bloody slabs of meat from killing the previously living animals etc. ( )
