The Prophet 1-Disc Box Set DVD

The Prophet adapts the celebrated philosophical-poetry source book into animated feature form, following the imprisoned poet and philosopher Mustafa as he prepares to leave his place of long confinement, sharing his accumulated wisdom on various aspects of life with the young girl Almitra and the various townspeople who gather to hear his thoughts. Each segment of his teaching is rendered in a distinctive animation style by a different international animation team, creating an anthology-format approach to the adaptation. The film plays as a feature-length animated entry that gathers multiple animation traditions.
