Sahara is a 2017 3D animated adventure film directed by Pierre Coré (in his directorial debut) and distributed by StudioCanal.

The film was released on January 18, 2017, and received mixed reviews from critics, praising its visuals, humour, music and choreography but condemning its plot and pacing.

Ajar, tired of being a "loser", decides they should go into the Oasis, a haven for the rich and highly sophisticated green snakes but is forbidden to the Dusties.

He meets a green snake named Eva, who disguised herself as a Dusty in attempt to escape the Oasis.

However, Ajar uses Gary, Eva's lazy and dim-witted brother, as a hostage, and they escape on the back of one of the secretary birds.

When Pitt accidentally stings the bird, it loses consciousness and the trio continue on the ground.

Mistaking the encounter for a romantic one, Ajar almost gives up on his quest until he releases a ceiling fan, which falls on top of the cage, freeing all the snakes.

French and English voice actors are listed: The voicing of Ajar was difficult for Omar Sy due to the fact that the character was a teenage snake and Omar needed to express excitement, fragility and a lack of self-confidence.
