Animation. Kids Kirikou's Grandfather says that the story of Kirikou and The Witch was too short, so he proceeds to explain more about Kirikou's accomplishments. We find out how little boy became a gardener, a detective, a maker of pottery, a merchant, a traveler and a doctor.

	Author	Review
United States	Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune	"Quite similar to the first film, but this is one time when a reprise is welcome. Ages 7-11, but actually, it's for everyone"	POS
United States	Seattle Times	"Four stories derived from traditional African folk tales have been strikingly animated, with just enough scares to keep small eyes glued to the screen."	POS
United States	Lisa Nesselson Variety	"Messages of the value of teamwork, pride in shared labor, self-reliance and resourcefulness are nicely embedded into compact, suspenseful adventures."	POS
United States	Tasha Robinson AV Club	"Ocelot's 2005 semi-sequel, Kirikou And The Wild Beast, retains the gorgeously detailed visuals and that hilarious tonal bluntness, but loses much of the compelling mystery, and the urgency of life-and-death situations."	POS
