 Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest
comment
A French animated film by Michel Ocelot (Kirikou and the Sorceress).Azur, a young nobleman in late medieval France, grows up obsessed with the stories of his Arab nurse Jénane, particularly those about the captive Djinn Fairy. Reaching adulthood, he mounts an expedition to North Africa in the hope of liberating her: but he finds himself in competition with his foster brother Asmar, Jénane's son.

 Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest / int_19660a62
comment
Non-Specifically Foreign: Although Crapoux is presumably French like all the white human characters, he seems like this when disparaging elements of Arab culture in favour of his own: the things he prefers/misses from home include clogs, bagpipes, and apple sauce. The impression is that the writers used whatever from somewhere in North-west Europe seemed most ridiculous or unappealing compared to the things he was dismissing.

Princely Young Man: Azur and Asmar are called "princes" in the title and by the Djinn Fairy, who is apparently foretold to be rescued by a prince: but in fact neither is. (Azur is a non-royal nobleman, Asmar a commoner.) They are, however, brave and handsome young men on a well-resourced expedition, and extremely well dressed.

Politically Correct History
 Azur and Asmar: The Princes' Quest / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Pretty much averted. Jénane and Asmar face racism in France, and Yadoa has had to flee his home there; their own country is somewhat more tolerant, with places of worship for all three Abrahamic religions in the city, but we do see a ruined Christian church by the desert road, and Azur's "unlucky" blue eyes bring hostility from anyone who sees them. Slavery also exists in the setting, and even free servants (in both countries) don't fare well if they talk back to their masters.

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Asmar is the more overtly passionate red to Azur's phlegmatic blue. It even comes through in their actual colour coding (Asmar's red clothes, Azur's blue eyes). Heck, Azur's name even means blue.

The Lady of the Djinns initially dances with Frenchman Azur while the Lady of the Fae goes with Maghrebine Asmar. Eventually, the four characters find that they're happier exchanging partners.

Obfuscating Disability: Azur feigns blindness to hide his “unlucky� blue eyes; Crapoux feigns a limp to get Azur to carry him (partly from laziness, partly because he thinks his begging will be more successful with a handsome young blind man in tow). It's also possible that Crapoux doesn't actually need glasses.

Prejudice Aesop: A positively Anvilicious one. Racism is bad, ok? This verges on a Broken Aesop, both because the character design implies that Beauty Equals Goodness, but also because the only Black characters are the gang who menace the white Azur and Arab / Berber Asmar with – of all things – enslavement.

Standard Hero Reward: The Djinn Fairy is apparently destined to marry her rescuer. Nobody, including herself, considers that she might have anything to say on the matter until Azur and Asmar sharing responsibility for her rescue means she has to make a choice; even then, any personal preference she might have still doesn't enter into the decision-making process until the Elf Fairy turns up and suggests they pick one man each… then suggests a swap.
