ynopsis

The film is a sub-story to "Kirikou and the Sorceress" rather than a straight sequel. The movie is set while Kirikou is still a child and Karaba is still a sorceress. Like "Princes et princesses" and "Les Contes de la nuit", it is an anthology film comprised of several episodic stories, each of them describing Kirikou's interactions with a different animals. It is however unique among Michel Ocelot's films, not only in that it is co-directed by Bénédicte Galup (who has previously worked with him as an animator) but also for each of the stories being written by a different person (in all other cases, Ocelot has been the sole writer and director of his films).
