I'm surprised to see so little discussion here. We rented from Netflix because son had to watch it for French class. Be sure to watch it in French, not dubbed in English -- the voices are so much better.
The art and story both are wonderful. I loved the adaptation of Rousseau's style into animation.

Well - I'm from USA and have 2 girls (9 and 5). They've both watched and the 5 yr old had a more enjoyable time. I think the 9 yr old over-sexualizes the movie. I had a neighbor kid over and knew the mother would be upset at me for allowing her daughter to watch.
I LOVE the movie and don't see anything wrong with allowing anyone to watch it. However, in the US, there are many uncultured, uneducated people here. I can't 'explain' this movie to them. Either: you get it, or you don't. The bad part is that there are so many who do not even want to give it a chance. So sad.
I feel my children are blessed in knowing and seeing this film. I recommend everyone to have an open mind about it. I LOVED it!
I forgot about this movie. I think I saw this film on Starz! Black. And i loved it!! The title character was the cutest little thing. Would love to see it again!
shareI saw that film so long ago, but I liked it. It was a good film.
The art is very unique in that film. Plus the storyline was interesting.
'I think the 9 yr old over-sexualizes the movie.'
I guess that's the result of a society diabolizing all nudity. Proof that it does more harm than good. There's no sexual overtones in this film, not a single sexual scene or theme. It truly saddens me to think that american children can't think of nudity as something innocent, and that Kirikou can't be shown on public television because of some depraved censors.
I watched this in spanish class...I didnt understand the full plot because I wasnt paying all that much attention, but it was damn funny!
sharegreat movie indeed. he reminds me of stewie. the ratatoullie might've been inspired regarding the hat scene.

I just watched this movie a few minutes ago and I think it's a good film. I didn't think of the nudity in it as sexual either and was not offended. Too me, this is a good folk-tale!
Welcome to my Nightmare- Freddy Krueger
I watched this movie last night and thought it was the cutest thing! The animators really captured the essence of a cute, lil' African child.
Kirikou reminded me so much of my little nephew. They look alike and have the same attitude and spirit. Too cute!
Great story, animation and message... I think it's safe to say it's one of my favorites, now. :)
