Kirikou and the Men and Women
Directed by Michel Ocelot
Produced by Les Armateurs, Mac Guff Ligne
A warmly nostalgic animated anthology of a small hero's adventures helping his village, framed as a grandfather's cherished memories and infused with magical, spiritual elements.
The grandfather welcomes us into his blue grotto, there was still beautiful memories of childhood to tell Kirikou: the times when he helped the men and women of his village and elsewhere ... He tells us how Kirikou, thanks to his bravery and intelligence, came to the aid of the strong woman. He tells us by what trick the little hero found the grumpy old man, who had been lost in the bush, and how a cherry threatened by the witch was finally able to pass on his knowledge to the villagers. We also discover the secret of a mysterious blue monster, and finally through a flute linked to the family of our small and valiant heroes, the magical power of music.
