As Aventuras De Azur E Asmar -

A história começa num país europeu há muito tempo. Azur é um menino loiro de olhos azuis, filho de um nobre rico, mas que é criado por uma babá (uma mulher árabe) que o ama profundamente. A babá tem um próprio filho, Asmar, que tem a pele morena e olhos escuros. Os dois meninos crescem como irmãos, alimentados pelo mesmo leite e ouvindo as histórias mágicas que a babá conta sobre a Fada dos Djinns, uma princesa encantada que vive numa terra distante.

Many critics praise the film as an anti-racist fable for children. That is true, but reductive. Ocelot is doing something stranger: he is critiquing the masculine structure of the quest itself. Both Azur and Asmar want to "win" the Fairy—to capture her as a trophy, a validation of their individual worth. The Fairy, however, is not a damsel. She is a sovereign being who has imprisoned herself until humanity proves worthy of her. She represents the divine feminine, the creative spark, the story itself. She cannot be rescued; she can only be invited .
