Kiriku und die Zauberin (1998)

Kiriku und die Zauberin: Directed by Michel Ocelot, Raymond Burlet. With Doudou Gueye Thiaw, Maimouna N’Diaye, Awa Sene Sarr, Robert Liensol. In a troubled African village, an unusual baby is born.

“A beautifully realized animated film about, on a simplistic level, a child, who, by his wits, saves his village from the evil sorceress, Karaba. But itu0026#39;s much more than that, if we pay attention. For the question the child, Kirikou, keeps asking is, u0026quot;Why is Karaba so mean and evil?u0026quot; It is the answer to that question, and Kirikouu0026#39;s response, that lifts this film above the ordinary. It also has a great sound track by Youssou Nu0026#39;Dour. Unfortunately, itu0026#39;s not an easy film to find, so if it it ever turns up on a station near you, make sure your VCR is ready.”
