Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for book lovers and people who still love a bit of magic. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes. Shelve it next to Descendants 2.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.

The Sultan awaits the arrival of his son, Prince Omar, who has brought up in a distant land. The master tailor and his assistances are making clothes for the prince. Labakan, the most gifted of his assistances, craves to be a Sovereign's heir so he steals the princely garments snd poses as the Sultan's son.
