TinyLove_CJ Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Such a shame Mika didn't win! Hopefully he will go on to do more film scores. Had another search to see if Zodi will be released in the UK and came across this voice actress' website, Ruth Urquhart. Here in her news section she mentions being the dub voice for Zodi's mum, this is from Feb 2023 though, but it does sound promising! https://www.ruthurquhart.com/extra-extra Not sure if this is too interesting but Zodi is also on this list of films on Quick Look Films which is a US based site (there's no release information though). It's in alphabetical order so Zodi is way at the bottom btw! https://quicklookfilms.com/people/Vo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The cast acquitted themselves well and the film apparently sounds great! It is soon to be released in the UK, and I believe can be seen in arthouse cinemas." Happy for UK fans ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a few more German reviews of the movie, but this seems to be the only one (so far) that mentions the soundtrack, and in a very positive way. The film is very schematic in its drawing of the villain. In addition, the work obviously avoids any social realist perspective, which makes the depiction of the United Arab Emirates a bit too naive. The strengths of Princes of the Desert lie in the moments that focus entirely on the increasingly close connection between the human and animal protagonists. The design and embodiment of the characters who support Zodi to the best of their ability, such as Zodi's worried mother Amina (Nadia Benzakour), are also achieved in a much more subtle way. Julia, a veterinarian played by Alexandra Lamy, becomes an important caregiver for the twelve-year-old. When Zodi and Téhu are confronted with a sandstorm or a rescue operation is necessary, the production creates tension suitable for young people. The score by the Lebanese-British singer and composer Mika aka Michael Holbrook Penniman, who became a pop star with songs like Relax, Take It Easy, is also convincing. Princes of the Desert offers solid entertainment that will help ensure that the close bonds between young people and animals will continue to be part of the children's cinema repertoire. Happy to be able to watch the movie together with my kids now that they released a German version! Edit: Just found another review that praises Mika's soundtrack: https://kindundkegel.de/themen/verlosungen/prinzen-der-wueste.html Translation of that part: A film for the whole family that can also be enjoyed (auditory, ed.), because musical support comes from MIKA, who has been storming the charts with his hits since 2007 and who provides the soundtrack for Barbier's film. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French: Zodi et Téhu, Brothers of the desert Italian: Teo e Zodì, A camel as a friend German: Princes of the desert, Faster than the wind This is usually done to make a film more appealing within each country of release, there's also the Spanish title 'Zodi & Tehu, aventuras en el desierto' (Adventures in the Desert). I'm still hopeful for a UK release, I'd imagine it will use the English title Princes of the Desert when it does make its way over here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep checking myself from time to time but there's still no news of a release just yet. With other countries getting the film I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will be released here! (but it looks like it might be Mikasoon! 😆). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SusanT Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Agiscuola in Emilia Romagna (the region of northern Italy where Bologna is) has Teo e Zodì in its 2023-2024 catalogue of films for schools. Agis stands for Associazione Generale Italiana dello Spettacolo (Italian Association for Show Business) https://agiscuolaemiliaromagna.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/opuscolo-agiscuola-2023-2024.pdf page 29 Teo e Zodì – Un cammello per amico Eric Barbier L’emozionante storia di amicizia tra un ragazzino e un cucciolo di cammello rimasto orfano, che sfideranno insieme i pericoli del deserto per realizzare il sogno della vita. Un’avventura toccante impreziosita dalle musiche di Mika, che per la prima volta firma una colonna sonora per il cinema. Uscita prevista: novembre (emphasis mine) Translation: A touching adventure embellished by music composed by Mika, who for the first time creates a soundtrack for the cinema. .......................... Maybe someone can suggest a better translation for "impreziosita." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
