I saw this movie was in 2-3 lists of supposedly "Best Animated Films", so I decided to watch it. I went over to YouTube and was surprised to see that this movie was flagged! After watching this film, I just had one question: "Was this movie flagged because of the breasts?" Seeing as the film doesn't contain any sexual themes, I thought that was pretty stupid and close-minded. I bet lots of people haven't given this movie a chance because of the nudity.
Kirikou is a small, but brave boy who was born in Africa. He isn't like any other normal children-- seeing as he could already walk and talk the moment he's born. Kirikou learns that in the village, there are many problems. All the problems seem to have one main source: the sorceress, Karaba. Kirikou sets out on an adventure, determined to make things right in his village, by defeating the evil sorceress.
The animation is quite simple, which isn't that bad a change. I actually found the animation relaxing and it made me want to give the movie a chance. The plot is easy to follow, but not the best one. I did not like the ending.. I mean, I can understand the appeal that it had to some people, but it just made the movie even more far-fetched than it already was.
This is an okay film. Not the best animated one, but not the worst one either. Let me just tell you this, though, if you're hesitant of watching this because of the supposed nudity, don't even think about it! Nudity shouldn't be a problem if you don't let it be one.
