Michel Ocelot, France – 1998 – 1h18min – Animation, Fiction

In a little village somewhere in West Africa, a boy named Kirikou is born in a spectacular way. But he’s not a normal boy, since he can speak and walk immediately after being born. He is also very determined. His mother tells him that an evil sorceress has dried up their spring and devoured all the males of the village except for one. Hence the tiny Kirikou decides to accompany the last warrior, his uncle, to visit the sorceress. Kirikou tricks the sorceress and saves his uncle, by waiting inside his uncle’s hat, and pretending that it was magic. He saved the children from being kidnapped by the sorceress’ boat, which sped off towards Karaba, and saved them later again from the sorceress’ tree, which closed it branches, and once again sped off towards Karaba.
