Poor writing, poor acting, poor pacing, poor character development, poor casting (especially Azula and her crew), not funny, not fun.

Such a missed opportunity. There's a reason why the original is so beloved. They should have let the creators of the original do their thing. You know its bad when cartoon characters convey more emotion, character and depth than their live action counterparts. By the time I reached the last episode, I just didn't care and wanted it to be over. I won't be keeping my Netflix subscription. I had Netflix for one month, just to watch The Social Dilemma, and this series reminded me why I canceled Netflix.

Some of the sets looked nice and the color is good.

I really felt like I got to know something about Amine and Tahir, as well as their African land and people. The cinematography is calm, reflective and colourful. It was interesting how the story skipped over climactic points, leaving it to the viewer to fill in what was being led up to.

Perhaps most remarkable is that the film held the complete attention of my seven year old brother. At one stage he said "I know where he left his medicine". This is proof that story still has power and that the non-stop eye candy of films like "Cars" is not all it's made out to be. Abouna is a story well told.
