Kirikou and the Sorceress
An enchanting animated adventure inspired by the folk stories of Senegal and showing how a young boy, the tiny but brave Kirikou, outwits a powerful sorceress. This is really a picture book in motion, with beautiful images taken from the nature and art of West Africa. The soundtrack, featuring only traditional African instruments, is by Youssou N'Dour. This wonderful offering is a world away from Disney's singing lions.
