About

If you enjoy vivid, storybook-style animated adventures with themes of cultural understanding, this could be a great pick, especially for families; Not for you if you need slick animation or fast pacing like in Kirikou and the Sorceress.

Pros: colorful fairy-tale adventure; warm multicultural themes; family-friendly fun | Cons: stiff character movement; slow or uneven pacing; some confusing subtitles
