History Animation / BeautyAndWarrior

While relatively unknown online (beyond having [[MedalOfDishonor a spot]] on [[Website/TVTropes This Very Wiki's]] [[Horrible/AsianAnimation So Bad, It's Horrible index]], which should give viewers an idea of what they're in for), it did receive heavy riffing from ''[[WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries The Annotation Station]]''.[[note]](Unfortunately, due to the unexpected shutdown of their channel in late 2017, when the channel was in in the midst of an archival panic, the riff has been since lost to time.)[[/note]]

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Are the two brothers' names Mega and Batara or Megan and Barta?

An English dub was produced in 2002 and is licensed by Joseph Lai's company IFD Films and Arts. It was released on DVD in 2005 by Digiview.

WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries gave it the {{MST}} treatment.

* AllThereInTheManual: The plot, such as it is, can be found [[http://web.archive.org/web/20190909203132/http://ifdfilms.com/anim04.htm here]] and [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0772220/plotsummary here]]. As WebVideo/MarzGurl points out in her review, even the back of the DVD box explains the plot better than the actual movie.

''Beauty and Warrior'' is a 2002 animated film produced by [[Film/GodfreyHoNinjaMovies Joseph Lai]]. In this film, one of the daughters of what may or may not be a king named Mahadewa is kicked out some unnamed country because she married a human being. One of her sisters, Mayang Sari, follows her, they talk a bit about splitting up, and the banished sister, Nawang Wulan, leaves for [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse who knows where]]. As for Mayang Sari, she becomes the queen of a water palace, and a group of five [[OurGeniesAreDifferent jinn]] serve as her bodyguards/courtiers.

* RapunzelHair: All of the girls in the country at the beginning, including Nawang Wulan and her...sister? Maid? What is Mayang Sari to her?

Next, two brothers, possibly soldiers from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medang_Kingdom Mataram]] based on two brief references, meditate in a cave, and this is where things get [[MindScrew confusing, if they aren't already]]. One of the two brothers, Batara Tantra, enters the water palace as an ethereal spirit, fights some of Mayang Sari's jinn bodyguards, and has a baby with her after defeating them. Wait, what? How, ''why''? Never explained! Mayang Sari gives him a magic sword. However, back in the real world, the other brother, Mega, wants the sword to himself, and the two brothers fight. Batara has Mega beaten but then gives him the sword, saying that he doesn't want to fight. Mega leaves, Meyang Sari shows up, and Batara immediately says he needs to go back to Mataram and defeat his brother before he destroys the world. Mayang Sari tells Batara his brother can not be defeated and he must be convinced to give up his ambitions so the two of them can defeat "the monsters" and "dark forces". With a brief scene of Batara standing on a cliff covered in jewelry in some unknown location, possibly Mataram, the movie stops.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: This movie turns it UpToEleven. Defeating Mayang Sari's bodyguards means her instantly falling in love with you and BabiesEverAfter!

[[caption-width-right:221:THIS. IS. MY. '''POOP'''. '''FACE'''!!! ]]

* OverlyLongFightingAnimation: This is not helped at all by having the two brothers looking almost exactly the same, nor by [[StockFootage re-using the same exact ten seconds of the fight]] [[{{Padding}} about six times]]. Batara Tantra has a scarf of some kind wrapped around his waist though.

* StockFootage: Used a lot. The tunnel scene and the scene with the two brothers fighting each other were used a lot, and the scene where Nawang Wulan gives Mayang Sari her part of the dress is used twice. Not to mention most of the characters are duplicates of one another, so they reuse ''poses''.
