Editor’s note: Our short take on The Black Pharaoh, the Savage and the Princess (2022): Firmly a Animation, Drama piece, but with a personal touch. Michel Ocelot keeps the storytelling tight, favoring character beats over empty flash. Performances (especially Oscar Lesage, Claire de la Rüe du Can, Aïssa Maïga) give the story human stakes. The 1h 22m runtime suits the material; scenes land without dragging. Not universally praised, but there’s enough here for curious genre fans. Put it on your list—especially if you’re after mood and texture.
