Kirikou and the Sorceress

Recommended for ages 6+. Beginning as a small voice from inside the womb, Kirikou delivers himself into an African village that is suffering under the spells and torment of the evil sorceress Karaba. Just minutes old and inches high, Kirikou is instantly determined to rid his village of Karaba's curse and discover the source of her wickedness. With pluck and ingenuity, he embarks on an adventurous voyage to the Forbidden Mountain where the Wise Man will help him uncover the truth. Based on a West African folk tale, this stunning animated feature stays true to its tradition while offering a unique style not seen in standard family fare. Note to parents: Female characters are drawn bare-breasted and children unclothed to reflect traditional tribal dress. In French with English subtitles, read aloud.
