Kirikou and the Men and Women is an enchanting animation following the adventures of an unlikely superhero: the mischievous and heroic newborn baby Kirikou.

Visionary animator Michel Ocelot collaborates with studio Mac Guff Ligne, in this captivating third instalment of Kirikou’s adventures. Based loosely on Senegalese fables, Kirikou tells five stories of ingenuity and courage, as the tiny but fearless crusader saves his village from foes both natural and supernatural. The tales include Kirikou saving a grouchy old man hiding in a tree from a jackal, helping a woman whose roof was burnt by an evil sorceress to get her revenge and a life-changing encounter with a ‘Blue Monster’, in a wise parable of racial tolerance.

Superbly combining classic hand-drawn animation with cutting edge computer techniques, this beautiful film is filled with laughs and clever cunning, buoyed by an exuberant musical soundtrack featuring the voice of superstar Angélique Kidjo. An absolute delight for the whole family.

Suitable for ages 8 years and over. Please note - this film is subtitled.
