Kirikou is a tiny child, as fast as anything, and never stops talking. From the moment he is born he wants to know why his village is suffering so much. The evil and scary sorceress, Karaba, has cast a terrible spell on the place, and Kirikou resolves to set things to rights.

Beautifully animated, with a marvellous feel for the shape and colours of Africa, and a soundtrack by Youssou N'Dour, Kirikou and the Sorceress is a refreshing alternative to anodyne mainstream cartoons.

Winner of loads of awards, including the Children's Jury Award at the Chicago International Children's Film Festival in 1999.

Slimane has just been made redundant. He buys an old boat, dreaming of turning it into a floating restaurant serving the best couscous, helped by his extended family. Tragic and comic flavour blend nicely in this succulent offering.
