Based on a traditional West African folk tale, the film brings the story of the 10cm tall Kirikou, a small boy who delivers himself from his mother’s womb to emerge walking and talking. Kirikou undertakes a perilous journey in order to discover the secret of the evil sorceress, who had cursed his village, eating up the men-folk and drying up the spring. Director Michel Ocelot’s rich animation plunges his audiences deep into the African bush, a place of myth and spirituality. The music adds another rich layer to this magical African fairytale, a treat for adults and children alike.
