Britain's government says the cartoon isn't ready for publication, but those behind the animated film say officials got cold feet. Experts wonder whether the movie, inspired by real stories of British Muslims who've gone overseas to train as terrorists, would've been effective in deterring young people from embracing extremism.

The cartoon, entitled "Wish You Waziristan," follows two Muslim brothers as they journey to a terrorist training camp in Pakistan. Clips from the movie were ridiculed as bizarre and a waste of money in the British tabloids.
