Review of Kirikou and the Sorceress

I have to say, I did not see this movie coming. The premise alone is an interesting one - a baby is born with the ability to speak, to cut his own umbilical cord. He's born in a small, cursed village in Africa, indebted to and terrified of an evil Sorceress who is always watching them.

And, somehow, it gets even more fantastical from there.

I really enjoyed this movie, which carries several surprises my viewing party didn't guess until they happened.
