Kirikou and the Wild Beasts Reviews

Honestly, I have no idea if Kirikou is famous abroad but I do remember that, back when the first installment was released in France, it was quite a success. Eventually, it was not really surprising that they decided to make a sequel even though they took their time and I wonder if this sequel was also successful. To be honest, the end result didn't really reach the level of the previous installment. I mean, this 1st movie was quite impressive because it was something really different than your usual animated feature and the animation was simple but really effective. Well, with this 2nd installment, it still looked very nice but it was pretty much the same thing and the freshness was gone. On the top of that, instead of telling a fully fledge tale, they decided to tell some small stories which were all fine but not really amazing and I would rather have one compelling adventure involving this little guy. Stil, it remains a very nice animated feature especially if you compare it with what you can see nowadays. 7 years later they would come up with a 3rd installment but, unfortunately, I haven’t seen it yet. To conclude, I thought it was pretty good and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
