This fanciful, animated feature from
French artist and director Michel Ocelot is based on a popular folk
tale from West Africa. Kirikou (voice of Theo Sebeko) informs his
mother from the womb that it's time for him to be born, but when
she's too slow, he simply does the work himself. After learning
that his parents' village is being threatened by a sorceress with
a taste for human flesh, Kirikou leaps into action to save the day,
encountering friends and foes along the way, including a monster
who can drain waterfalls and lakes with his enormous thirst and
a wise man living on a magic mountain. Kirikou and the Sorceress
also features an original score by acclaimed Senegalese musician
Youssou N'Dour. |
