Readers who regard Gibran as source of profound wisdom will delight in this celebration of his work; skeptics who dismiss his poetry as portentous and overblown should wait for the disc to come out and enjoy the imagery with the sound on low. Full Review
This collection of eight mini-sermons falls flat. Full Review
Lovely at times but something of a bore as a whole, the film's wisdom is too adult for kids and its story too simple for grown-ups. Full Review
A work of essential spiritual enlightenment, elegantly interpreted by nine of the world's leading independent animators, all tied up and wrapped in a family-friendly bow by "The Lion King" director Roger Allers. Full Review
