"The new film is insulting of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him)," Ayhan Tunja, member of the Muslim Coordinating Council of the Netherlands, told IslamOnline Sunday, over the phone.
The cartoon film, The Life of Muhammad, is produced by former Labour politician Ehsan Jami, of Iranian origin.
Expected to be released on April 20, the film will reportedly will show a sexually aroused prophet.
A clip from the film aired on a Dutch television channel showed a man said to be the prophet in the company of a 9-year-old wife on their way to a mosque to allegedly deflower his bride.

"This film will be very offensive to Muslims," fumed Tunja.
"Freedom of speech is respected in the Dutch society but this freedom must not mean insulting faiths and the prophets."
The Netherlands nis already embroiled in a controversy regarding a documentary by far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders portraying the Qur'an as inciting violence.
The Netherlands is home to nearly one million Muslims, making up around 6 percent of the total population.
Tunja said Dutch Muslims are planning a series of actions against the anti-Prophet movie.
"We are investigating with lawyers to take legal steps to stop the movie," he told IOL.
"We will also contact the government very soon to see how to defuse the crisis."
The Muslim leader said the government was aware of the new film.
"We heard that the justice minister has talked to Jami to convince him not to air his film. Jami reportedly said that he would think about the issue."
The government has unsuccessfully tried to convince Wilders to abandon his anti-Qur'an documentary, fearing it would trigger protests in Netherlands and abroad and strain ties with the Muslim world.
Tunja believes that the offensive films about the Prophet and the Qur'an are part of a rising Islamophobia in the Netherlands.
"Before 9/11, Muslims used to live in peace and harmony in the Netherlands," he recalled.
"But the situation has totally changed following the attacks and the killing of director Theo van Gogh."
The European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) recently said that Islamophobia is dramatically worsening in the Netherlands, accusing political parties and media of stigmatizing, stereotyping and even outright racist discourse targeting Muslims.
