Kirikou and the Wild Beasts Movie Reviews

A decent midquel

Considering the first Kirikou movie already had a pretty satisfying conclusion that left no room for sequels, this midquel/interquel turned out to be a pretty decent film on its own right, serving basically as a complimentary material for its predecessor, but still worth-watching anyway, despite its episodic nature.

The nice animation and music helped a lot. For me, the third story about the ride Kirikou takes on a giraffe it’s easily the best part of the movie, with a pretty lovely depiction of African wildlife.

It might be a bit redundant, but Kirikou and the Wild Beasts is an okay film anyway.

6.5/10.

One of the best for children that I have seen

I cannot compare with the first film which I have not yet seen (see previous review that liked it better). I hesitated to give it a 10, but I cannot point to a fault in this animation for children. My grand children love it, and have seen it repeatedly: I would say it can be watched from two to seven (I have not yet tried older). From my point of view it teaches a lot that is important, including cultural differences, respect, empathy, among many other things. Tasteful and non violent, though not escaping conflictual situations. The quality of the drawing and the animation is simple and aesthetically pleasing, especially regarding colors.

Still entertaining but not as good as the 1st part

A spin off of the first movie with four separated stories about the daily life in Kirikou’s village.

The movie is lovely, the stories very entertaining and original, our favourite characters are still there, and, most importantly, the movie offers glimpses of the life in a West-African village, which are precious to show to a Western audience of children. The stories will show kids that not everybody is the same, dresses the same, or lives the same, that Africa is an amazing beautiful varied continent, and that the world is richer because of that.

Like in the first movie, Ocelot’s drawings and visuals are simple, very attentive to landscape and plant drawing, very ethnographic in a a way. The stories, though, have a good dollop of magical reality.

Overall, the movie doesn’t have the energy and spark of the first movie as the different stories are unrelated -except for the fact that Kirikou and his neighbors are in them- and they are also plainer, less engaging, and more for children than for adults.
