Apple TV Description: 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. Le minuscule Kirikou nait dans un village d'Afrique sur lequel une sorcière, Karaba, a jeté un terrible sort : la source est asséchée, les villageois rançonnés, les hommes sont kidnappés et disparaissent mystérieusement. "Elle les mange", soutiennent les villageois dans leur hantise. Karaba est une femme superbe et cruelle, entourée de fétiches soumis et redoutables. Mais Kirikou, sitôt sorti du ventre de sa mère, veut délivrer le village de son emprise maléfique et découvrir le secret de sa méchanceté.
