DVD Reviews of Kirikou and the Sorceress
DVD Review: Better than expected
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie had more to offer than you might expect. I was pleased with the plot and enjoyed the story line. However, some of the movie was very poorly reproduced and was very hard to see the dark skinned characters against a dark background. While there was some mild nudity I feel that it was never inappropriate but rather represented a real-to-life presentation of these people in their natural culture. With that being said they could have relaxed about the nude scenes and even made some of the images a bit more clear and precise. The film was very tasteful and cautious about presenting the characters nude. I give this film 4 stars; not 5 because of some very poor colorations of the dark skin characters against a very dark background (especially in the beginning)making it hard to see what was going on. Otherwise a great film and fun for the entire (open minded) family. I would like to see many more like this. DVD Review: Beautifully done!
Summary: 5 Stars
A few years ago, I bought the illustrated book of Kirikou in French. My son (then 5) just LOVED this book, and constantly asked me to translate into English as I read. Recently, he (now 8) asked if I could look for the DVD - and now he just loves to watch it over and over again - he even sings some of the songs (in the 'African' accent) as he goes about his day! I highly recommend this movie to kids of all ages!! DVD Review: Movie of All Ages Especially Adults Who have Lost Their Way

Description of Kirikou and the Sorceress
This animated film exquisitely recounts the tale of tiny Kirikou -- a clever, courageous little boy born in an African village in which Karaba the Sorceress has placed a terrible curse -- as he sets out on a quest to free his village of the curse and find out the secret of why Karaba is so wicked. Kirikou depicts a precocious newborn infant who battles ignorance, and so-called evil, with endearing perseverance. This film speaks to the child within us all who yearns to express and defend the best in others and ourselves. Kirikou's stunning visuals are accented by a traditional music soundtrack by African music giant Youssou N' Dour.General DVDs
