Adventure tale about Inuit youths is spirited but perilous. Go to Full Review Charles Solomon Animation Scoop 11/06/2013
The Legend of Sarila grafts a veneer of Inuit culture onto a very formulaic story that borrows heavily from mainstream American animation. Go to Full Review Jeff Heinrich Montreal Gazette 02/28/2013

04/12/2022 The funniest and most original family animated movie ever, LOL!!!!!!!!!!! See more 11/23/2015 This a brilliant film. I love the Animation, the story is great. The change of title in the US was wrong. For my money it beat some of later Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks films. I think in time, others will see it, this film is wonderful, it has a true heart to it. Five stars from me. See more 08/12/2014 I would give it three stars, but I doubt I'm really going to have the urge to watch it again. It's okay, the animation isn't bad for a B CGI movie. At least they don't really burst into song in this one, there are parts where I'm not entirely sure it's supposed to be a family movie or if it's just an animated movie that resembles a family film. Some parts are a little dark, with all the attempted murder and what not. I really wanted to choke the crow though, that animal noise/talk makes you wanna hurt someone See more 08/11/2014 a nice movie. exploration of Inuit culture, not very high but far to be boring, useful for kids and a really good animation. the story is basic, the old fairy tale spirit is present, the characters are charming and no surprises . Christopher Plummer is himself and old shaman represents one of great good points of film. the young actors seems be the best choices for characters of adventurers. the only problem is the dialog. who, in many scenes seems be almost fake. sure, it is a movie for children but that not is a realistic excuse for that.the second problem - the good goddess who is not the most inspired drawing. a good point, almost a virtue - the music. short - a nice film for entire family. See more 07/06/2014 The lamest movie I've ever seen. So stupid and boring. A wast of my 2 dollars to rent it from redbox See more 01/21/2014 All because of that old, stupid, evil eskimo shaman. But Sarila turned out to be too easy to find. See more Read all reviews
