KIRIKOU AND THE SORCERESS

Fascinated them. "Kirikou is a hero. How come he's so little?" Initially embarrassed by the nudity - "Why are those people running around naked?" - they soon accepted it as natural. "It made me think about listening to others and being nice."

Exceptional, imaginative, colorful. Shows superstitions and beliefs of a distant, primitive culture and its customs: women are bare-breasted and boys run about naked. Offers insight when Kirikou discovers the answer to "Why is the Sorceress so mean?"

Kirikou is a new-born infant who battles ignorance and so-called evil in his African village with perseverance and wit. Lots of twists and turns in the plot keep youngsters and parents captivated. Animated, with traditional African music soundtrack.
