TAINOS

Produced between the Dominican Republic and Peru, Tainos is a beautiful animated docudrama exploring the first Caribbean civilization of the Greater Antilles. Guided by a narrator, the film honors the "noble" Taino people who lived in harmony with nature. While critic Selene W. found the lack of a human protagonist and stiff character movements slightly disengaging, she praises the film's gorgeous, detailed background art of island foliage. With a rich percussive score of drums and chants, the film serves as an eye-opening history lesson, connecting modern Caribbean heritage to its indigenous roots. I give Tainos 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12. By Selene W., KIDS FIRST!
