Ejen Ali the Movie (2019)
When an animation studio still remembers why they make animation

Nothing is perfect, this was no exception.
But what matters is you can see how much effort and heart was put into making this movie.
Feels like a breath of fresh air in the time of pointless live action and sequels.
Best local movie of the year. Or I dare say one of the best animated movie of the year, internationally.
Watch this for the heart.

Ejen Ali (2016)
This needs more recognition...

I'm trying really hard not to be biased here.
Pros:
- soundtrack. EXCELLENT for an animated series.
- gripping storyline
- diverse, interesting characters
Cons
- graphic. maybe one of the best coming out of this region, but still lagging behind some recent western animations (then again i was thinking something like Trollhunters by Dreamworks, an animation giant..)
- characters and story while fun and colourful, are not all that original (you can see the inspirations here and there..)
- some episodes feel too rushed and minor characters lack development, but then there's only 13 eps per season...
Despite all the cons above, I still rate this show high. If you get immersed into the storyline, then be prepared for a roller coaster of suspense and emotions. There's one scene in season 2 that, in my opinion, showcased one of the best story telling that i have seen in animation.
If you are curious, good luck finding subbed episodes though. But if you happen to be in Malaysia, had a good grasp of Malay language, and love animation in general, then I suggest you watch this. The whole 2 seasons are currently on youtube. This show is targeted towards older children, but the story is enjoyable by teens and adults as well. One of the best Malaysia's production in recent years.
