Consumer DVD Review

[Top]

This is a tremendous film, & a beautiful DVD. My son wanted to watch nothing else for the last four weeks, his enthusiasm for it was immense.

This movie is nothing like your standard cartoon offering - the story is simple & pure, the animation is crisp, the music is enchanting, there is no attempt to dress-up the story, & the representation of West African culture is pretty fair.

If you can understand any French then try to watch the movie in its original language, the songs & the dialogue work much better, plus the accentation of the English dubbing is questionable . The DVD pack comes with a bonus disk which is interesting & fun, but only in French.

All in all I cannot recommend this more highly. This is a great movie that kids will watch over & over again.
