Trailer for "Arjun" - A Disney Animated Movie Produced in India

[Jodhaa]

Vanakkam,

I feel uncomfortable showing this film to a child, knowing that the only lesson he will learn from Krishna is "Do what you want, forget the consequences !" and then He kill some guys and set a forest on fire.
This is not what it's all about...Seriously why, whyyyyy

Do not loose heart over a poorly made film. From the sound of it, it doesn't seem like it will become too popular even within India. And even if it did, my experience is that children learn for themselves, in time. Sometimes it takes many years for them to discover the truth, but someone will lead them there. It is a shame, because I think films - even those that take just a little creative licence - can help introduce people to important subjects and make them interested enough to learn more. As long as they are done well.

What I hope doesn't happen is that Disney brings "Arjun" to the US, revamps it with a different animation studio to "suit an American audience" and then release it. If it's bad, just let it go, Disney.

The visuals look great, but unfortunately, these Bollywood/Hollywood retellings rarely live up to my expectatons. They lack appreciation for the spiritual points of the story. They often retell certain parts of the story while ignoring other crucial ones. It's disappointing that all theistic elements have been scrubbed clean, if what McKitty is saying is true. Well, who wants all that Hinduism anyway?

Question for those in the US who saw this movie: how can I acquire/view it? I'd like to see it myself, but I'm guessing there are no showing in American theatres.

(Legal options would be preferable, since I don't do the whole movie stealing thing...)

Vanakkam,

It must be on DVD now, but unfortunately I don't think westerners like us can find it in every supermarket, in fact, I doubt the movie even get released outside of India =/

You can buy the dvd of the film via internet. For exemple, in ebay or amazon...There should be english subtitles on the Indian DVD, but I'm not sure so check it before buying.

Aum Namah Shivaya
