Overview

Legend knows him as an archer of unwavering focus, the soldier who fought a battle in his own heart before taking up arms against his enemy. This is the untold story of Arjun, hero of the Mahabharata. A precocious talent plunged from boyhood and innocence into a murky world of deceit and betrayal, coming of age to become the most powerful warrior of his time. From the dusty plains of Hastinapur to the icy peaks of the Himalayas, Arjun: The Warrior Prince is the story of a man discovering what it takes to be a hero.

Even though the title character vaguely resembles Disney's Tarzan, nobody is going to mistake the less-than-state-of-the-art, computer-game-style 2-D animation for the work of the American parent, much less its Pixar subsidiary.

The animation is at times stiff and presentational, like a rushed rotoscoping job, but there's a charming majesty to the enterprise.

If you could separate spectacle from story, "Arjun" wouldn't be half bad.

We know the path on which young Arjun sets out, and we are never surprised as he continues on his way, defending himself against the cousins who demand sovereignty.
