What is the story of Kirikou?
The tiny Kirikou is born into an African village upon which a sorceress called Karaba has cast a terrible spell: the spring has dried up, the villagers are being blackmailed, the men of the village have either been kidnapped or have mysteriously disappeared. He wants to rid the village of the curse so he goes on a voyage to the Forbidden Mountain, where the Wise Man of the Mountain, who knows of Karaba and her secrets, awaits him.

What is the message of Kirikou?
Like so many fables, Kirikou also comes with its own morals, largely about not judging people by their appearance, not taking things for granted, and valuing intellectual curiosity over superstition, ignorance, and fear. When Kirikou starts investigating the witch, he asks everyone why she’s evil.
What happened at the end of Kirikou?
Karaba kisses Kirikou and the curse is lifted. He is transformed into a beautiful young man. The kiss in Kirikou may be the director Michel Ocelot’s invention in an African context – he has said that he changed the ending of the original story.
