Michel Ocelot's "Kirikou and the Sorceress"

Kirikou and the Sorceress is a 1998 feature film from director Michel Ocelot. Based loosely on folklore that Ocelot was acquainted with during his childhood sojourn in Guinea,¹ this animated tale opens with the birth of the undersized but extremely precocious Kirikou.

The curious newborn hears from his mother that a powerful sorceress has stopped the community's water supply and annihilated all the men in the village. Upon learning that the his last surviving uncle has set off on a seemingly doomed quest to challenge the witch, the resourceful Kirikou rushes down the road of flame trees to assist his mother's youngest brother...
