Admittedly not terrible, but I didn't enjoy watching <em>'Arjun: The Warrior Prince'</em>. The animation is the biggest hamper - it's pretty poor, you expect so much more from a Disney film; I get the budget is more than likely much lower than what they'd give to a full blown US release, but I feel they could've done better. Some parts of it are decent, but the rougher parts stand out big. I didn't dislike the premise, necessarily. Sure it isn't crafted to perfection or anywhere close, but the actual idea itself is solid. I can't say any of the voice cast stand out, though Yuddvir Bakolia fits OK-ish as the titular character. Animation is one let down, another is the pacing. There's pieces of action here and there, but the ending lacks something enthralling - I didn't care for how it was going to conclude. It's predictable which doesn't help, but that can be overcome if it's entertaining to watch unfold - this, unfortunately, isn't.
