KIRIKOU
and the Wild Beast
Produced by Didier Brunier (The Triplets of Belleville)
Tiny Senegalese hero Kirikou is back in this sumptuous follow-up to the
universally beloved Kirikou and the Sorceress. Using his wits and speed,
brave Kirikou once again sets out to thwart the evil Sorceress Karaba and
save his village from supernatural and environmental perils. Comprised of 4
short segments and based on traditional West African folk tales, Kirikou and
the Wild Beast shows how the smallest and most valiant of heroes can
overcome the fiercest of beasts.
Directed by world-acclaimed animation masters Michel Ocelot and Bénédicte
Galup, this multi-million dollar feature was produced by Didier Brunier (The
Triplets of Belleville). Kirikou and the Wild Beast evokes the beauty of
traditional West African village life through its inspired palette of
ambers, ochers, and brightly colored patterns. In addition, the film
features a lush soundtrack that brings together the internationally renowned
African musicians Youssou N'Dour, from Senegal, Rokia Traore, from Mali, and
Manu Dibango, from Cameroon.
Note: Women are shown in traditional attire (sarongs only), and children
wear no clothing.
