Has anyone seen these French animations, the second of which is upcoming, based on African folk tales and actually quite amazing?

Here's a Wiki on the first film, "Kirikou and the sorceress"

Here's a link to the website of the sequel, "Kirikou and the Wild Beasts"

I haven't. But I just stuck it pretty high up on my Netflix queue.

I grew up with African folk tales.

Got the first on order for work. I'll let you know when they've come in and I've snagged a copy. They look lovely. You've seen them then Legba?

I saw the first one at an animation festival in Corsica, it was amazing. The second one looks to be also, though I haven't seen it. Don't trust the reviews you find on the net...a lot of them compare it unfavourably to the Lion King (??11??!?) when it's actually something much more magical.
