Animation / Adventure
aka: Kirikou and the Wild Beasts
Film Synopsis
Resplendent in his blue grotto, an old man tells us that the story of
Kirikou and the witch only touched on a small part of the remarkable
hero's adventures. It seems that Kirikou was also a gardener, a
detective, a traveller and a doctor, and always the smallest and
bravest of heroes...
