YMMV / Arjun: The Warrior Prince

• Audience-Alienating Premise: It's a Lighter and Softer (yet Darker and Edgier enough than most animated movies in that it lacks typical gimmicks in children's movies) Compressed Adaptation of an ancient epic that is virtually unheard of to general audiences outside of India, which may have hurt its perception among international audiences. For comparison, this is the equivalent of Disney making an animated 1 hr. 30 min. movie adapting The Iliad or The Odyssey...except the Mahabharata is at least ten times longer than the both of them combined.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Brave, another CG-animated Disney movie created by a different studio, would also be about a young royal in ancient times wielding a bow, being involved in Engagement Challenges, and family rivalries.
• So Okay, It's Average: While the reception in its home country seems positive to decent, it's internationally received as being okay for its outdated animation and an ultimately generic delivery of The Hero's Journey trope.
• Too Good to Last: The movie never made sequels and was never heard from again. Despite having 14 more stories of the Mahabarata to make more sequels.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?:
  • The movie doesn't stray away from showing Arjun shooting small creatures like a fish and a bird. We see the fish writhe around afterwards while still impaled with the arrow. Whereas in other Disney movies (like Brave), you'd only see the archer character shooting immobile targets like trees.
  • During the army battles, we see blood and bones getting spilled everywhere and soldiers getting their limbs sliced off — including at least one shot of a decapitated soldier, with the bones from their neck sticking out while blood is spurting out from it!
