Truest words ever spoken about child rearing: Your children are not your children They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bow from which your chidlren as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, And He bends you with His might that His arrow may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's band be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable. -Kahlil Gibran
You may not give your children your thoughts, but statistically speaking, people are more than 90% likely to believe whatever religion their parents believed.
Khalil Gibran (January 6, 1883 - April 10, 1931) was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist. Gibran was born in the town of Bsharri in the Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate, Ottoman Empire (modern day Lebanon), to Khalil Gibran and Kamila Gibran (Rahmeh). As a young man, Gibran emigrated with his family to the United States, where he studied art and began his literary career, writing in both English and Arabic. In the Arab world, Gibran is regarded as a literary and political rebel. His romantic style was at the heart of a renaissance in modern Arabic literature, especially prose poetry, breaking away from the classical school. In Lebanon, he is still celebrated as a literary hero. A member of the New York Pen League, he is chiefly known in the English-speaking world for his 1923 book The Prophet, an early example of inspirational fiction including a series of philosophical essays written in poetic English prose. The book sold well, despite a cool critical reception, gaining popularity in the 1930s, and again (especially) in the 1960s counterculture. Gibran is the third best-selling poet of all time, behind Shakespeare and Laozi.
Watch this movie!! It's one of the most beautiful animated films I've ever seen. I cried during "on love". If Khalil Gibran were alive to see this film, he would be very happy
finally showing our real culture to the world not that arabic countries stereotypes...."your children are not your children...they are children of life"
***** Gebran Khalil Gebran is Lebanese influenced firstly by his mother who was of a great christian faith .. that's why his book reflects what was written in the bible .. what distinguishes Lebanese people is that wherever he goes he stays Lebanese and carries with him his country's culture , that's why the Lebanese food as example became famous all orver the world and that's how the Maronite church succeeded to settle in every country in the world and has the most active comunity worldwide .. Lebanese are not arabs although only 17% of them carry the Arabic Genes but they are not arabs even on the cultural level .. they have preserved their own traditions and life style .. yet 28% ( the highest rate of the population ) stilll carries the Phoenician Genes .. it is shameful to see some Lebanese who always try to degrade their own country while in Canada they call the Movie Canadian simply because of a Canadian 2d animated company has an insignificant contribution in the movie
ali mansour Arab culture is many things, but the absence of it and the effects of neo-colonialism let´s other people think this is what our culture is actually made of. It´s a distortion of the truth.
***** Bullshit , Gibran is regarded as a literary hero in Lebanon and he has always been especially in the twenties , Lebanon is not Saudi Arabia . I am openly an atheist in Lebanon and I am very well and alive, stop spreading bullshit .
***** lol, dude he's a really old writer and phillosipher, he travelled all around the arab world and Was AN Arab, so check on your sstuff before saying something(no offense)
Это удивительный мультфильм, за последнюю неделю посмотрел его уже 3-й раз. До этого не раз и не два изучал творчество Джебран Халиль Джебрана и всегда оно глубоко резонирует со мной. И мультфильм каким-то невероятным, неясным образом смог еще сильнее улучшить восприятие этого глубокого произведения, очень рад, что уровень своременных картин растет из года в год, некоторые из песен мультфильиа вошли в список любимых, Благодарю.
Kahlil Gibran one of the top notch philosophers of life and stoicism. Am grateful to have read almost all his books. I admire most of the Catholic Christians writers such as this and the spanish Balatasar Gracian.
Amazing, fabulous, poetic, I'm very interested to see him! It promises to give emotions and wonder! And also for the fact that it is DIFFERENT from the usual films made in CGI.
OMG SO EXCITED!! GEBRAN KHALIL GEBRAN IS JUST THE MOST INSPIRING PERSON! Yeah so basicly I'm lebanese, Salma Hayek is a lebanese descent, GKG is lebanese, the book is just amazing, and I LOVE animation so ...♡
i know that Gabriel Yared the Lebanese oscar winner ( of the English patient's music ) has put the music in this movie .. Salma Hayek and since she is of Lebanese origins tried to collaborate with many Lebanese in this movie like Gabriel Yared ..

“A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me.” --- it happened. It's me. Not what people would expect, but I was a very good writer before I found out. Still have my doubts, but the experience I had when I saw The Prophet cover for first time was undeniable for me. A voice spoke aloud in my head (only time this happened) and said "This is you. This is you." Not trying to gain a single thing by saying this.

The first name of Khalil is misspelled in both the title and the description of this - otherwise totally brilliant - video (probably limiting searches enquiries for those who search this trailer). It should read "Khalil Gibran", i.e. with the "h" before the "a"... I encourage you to edit & fix this little editing mistake. Cheers.
A stunner, I bet. I mean, fuck, just look at the aesthetic variety! I doubt one style will grow stagnant or wear out it's welcome before another takes hold. This looks gorgeous. Also, anyone else recognize 'Attaboy' from 'The Goat Rodeo Sessions' at 0:22? Great album. Yo-Yo Ma is the man.
Probably someone who watched the first 30 seconds and said looks like Aladdin is a girl now. I myself think it was a poor idea to shamelessly steal and gender flip a classic Disney scene. It takes away from the piece as original written art from the 1930s.
the epistolary mistress of Khalil GIBRAN May ZIADE has just been translated into French for the first time her work is: darkness and light - published by Harmattan and prefaced by a former French Prime Minister
I really want to like this, but having read Gibran's work since i was in early adolescence hearing it in Liam Nesson's voice just isn't working for me. It's So very jarring. Still should be shared, seen, and heard by many folks but personally Nesson can be Jean Valjean, Bryan Mills, and even Ra's al Ghul but he's just not Gibran as I hear him in my head.
Ish the Stomach he's actuallu playing mustafa(I can't exactly remember the name)..he's not playing as Kahlil..but I guess it don't make any difference,since he is still saying Khalil's poem/quote..lol
TRUEstories PRODUCTIONS Maybe because this people was more interested in give tribute to this wonderful poeth than the Arabic artists. .. Sometime people we don't appreciate the value of the things when they are front of us. But people from outside can see with different eyes ..
Khalil is the true spelling, yes, but he himself accepted the misspelling Kahlil as a child raised in America, and used it. So it is considered an acceptable alternate spelling.

well it was to prove that he didnt live in U.S.A
I think I cried. It's beautiful
It's so full of deepities, I could not decide whether to cry, or to pound my head against a wall.
You may not see me appear in this movie, but what I do have are a very particular set of voice skills
Haha, yes. 😉
gebran kahlil gebran is a lebanese author, he's an outstanding spiritual smart incredible author .. so proud of him ..
I have been waiting for this all my life. This will be the film to judge all others by for time to come.
Finally!. Glad to see someone took on this amazing book with heart and is producing a beautiful and meaningful film that will inspire the world.
Work is Love made visible.....my favorite line.
My husband's favorite, too. I have too many favorites. I'll have to pick one.

What an inspiration! Just watched this movie and I don't know how to thank enough. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Kahlil Gibran one of the top notch philosophers of life and stoicism. Am grateful to have read almost all his books. I admire most of the Catholic Christians writers such as this and the spanish Balatasar Gracian.
A gift from Lebanon to the world was Gibran Khalil Gibran.... Now may the children of the world listen to wisdom and love...
The girl looks like Clementine from the walking dead game.
maybe bc of the comic-like graphics and her hair.
you know what?
you're right, she kinda does.
no, she doesn't.

Watched this in my school, really great movie. It's so beautiful.
Just saw it today. Found it deeply moving.
Even the trailer gave me chills. :)
Brilliant and inspiring! Just interviewed Salma Hayek yesterday for this wonderful movie that everyone should watch! Peace!
Such a great movie. wish more people would know about it and see it.

This movie is astounding
This must come to Atlanta
Great Work is noticeable from the very begining!
OMG! I looove this book!! Can't wait to watch the movie :)
A masterpiece! We need more movies like this! It's wonderful!
It was our theater at school !
Looks like a wicked trip
What the heck am I missing?
Wow. Looks amazing. I had to close TH-cam and open it back up. For some reason, the audio would play but not the video.
can't wait!
That might actually be TOO beautiful...
excuse me i need a moment....
"Crê nos sonhos, pois neles está escondida a porta da eternidade."
The art style in this movie reminds me of Prince Of Egypt and I love it.
Blessings be upon you...
I find it interesting that tough guy action movie hero Liam Neeson, play a poet.
I NEED THIS NOW! Is it already out? :D
proudly lebanese. to here jubran belongs
can't wait to see it *_*
My words are my wings and you are my messenger
Goosebumps, good God
Some of the animation reminds me of The Secret of Kells
Stylistically brings to mind 'Sita Sings the Blues' a bit
Daniel Rauch Yep, Nina Paley is one of the many animators involved. I recognized a little Bill Plympton animation toward the end there too.
I'm still waiting to see this - on TH-cam or Apple or something.
me encantó la pelicula "El Profeta "
The song in the background??
Ahhh I thought this would be hand drawn, but it's CGI. I was really hoping for a new traditionally made animated feature.
The movie is probably good, but do read the book also. Images can distract from the beautiful essence of the words....
🛑 Khalil Gibran on j Krishnamurti - When he entered my room i said to myself 🧿 " Surly lord of love has come " 🧿
what is the song at 1:17???
***** is the Damien song called On Children?? think I read it a while ago...
whenpianostrytobeguitars oh I think I got it now, basically Damien has put music to the poem On Children by Jahlil Gibran
Hi.. do you know where can i download tht song?
Rohit Rajeevan I doubt its even released
wow
Human beings dislike this ???? i cant blv ....
Does Anybody know where i can watch this movie on internet ?
I have searched for it but couldnt find it.
The first name of Khalil is misspelled in both the title and the description of this - otherwise totally brilliant - video (probably limiting searches enquiries for those who search this trailer). It should read "Khalil Gibran", i.e. with the "h" before the "a"... I encourage you to edit & fix this little editing mistake. Cheers.
The ending made me so sad 😞
Where can I find out if it's showing in Germany?
does anyone know a site where i can watch this movie?
1:35 What's the song?
when release?
How faithful is this movie to the book?
Inspirador.
Where is this movie?
Tomm Moore brought me here :D
What is this about? Was it a book before? I'm confused =\
Is based on " The Propet" by Halil Gebran?
+Chavdar Zakev Kahlil Gibran* , yes.
I have to read it
+Chavdar Zakev yup, it's a MUST-read.
مبين علية -- حلو وجميل ورائع

that's better in french with the Mika's voice
QUI Sait quand sort le film ?
Huh? Who would downvote this? I'm dumbfounded.

Too sentimental, and Liam Neeson is not threatening to anyone, inconceivable!
Clementine, what are you doing.
Nina Paley!! :D
cok guzel
Wawwwwww
Khalil gibran was Islam lover Christian
Mustafa is name of prophet Muhammad pbuh
he was called poet
he was exiled
Why CG.. why..
i wish i met a girl that will like this kind of movie
Who is singing in this trailer?
Salim Yousef Damien Rice.
I have read The Prophet many times, and there is no mention of prison. Almustafa was a beloved teacher. Hopefully, they haven't butchered it to badly.
the song name that's start at 1:18
laylah On Children by Damien Rice.

Ish the Stomach he's actuallu playing mustafa(I can't exactly remember the name)..he's not playing as Kahlil..but I guess it don't make any difference,since he is still saying Khalil's poem/quote..lol
were there no arabic actors? you had to choose a white european to be the voice actor?

looks really lovely but omg could they please have at least spelt KHALIL right...?!?!?
