Review of Sahara

Sahara (2017)
2/10
Inappropriate for Kids *Spoilers*
5 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is obviously aimed at kids and I feel like they tried to throw in some adult themes to keep the adults entertained as well, but it went horribly wrong. It's extremely inappropriate. The animation and the basic story line is good and my 2 year old son enjoys watching it for now, but I will not allow him to watch it once he starts understanding. The brother snake has a "pollen" addiction which strongly resembles a cocaine addiction. Meanwhile the girl snake, Eva, has been forced into snake dancing, which to me, too closely resembles being forced into prostitution. She seems to be in some sort of trance or drugged and not able to resist dancing. There's even one part where she's seeing some weird hallucinations and a bunch of snakes are slithering towards a large sun and burrow into it, but the way they present it looks exactly like sperm burrowing into an egg. On top of that, the leader of the snake dancers talks about the girls being too fat and to tie their stomach in knot to lose weight. As if girls don't have enough body image issues as it is. This could've been a great movie if they had left out all the inappropriate themes. The only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1 is because the animation is actually pretty good.
