Animation. Adventure. Comedy. Kids Life is not all black and white for Khumba, a young zebra born with only half his stripes and blamed by his superstitious herd for the drought that threatens their survival.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Leslie Felperin The Guardian	"There's a pretty score of harmonic, Isicathamiya-influenced music, but this is a tedious time-killer for those desperate to keep kids occupied. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Miriam Bale The New York Times	"A wondrous and slightly deranged story about oddballs embracing their differences."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Character movement occasionally has a stiff, disconnected quality, but the animators distinguish themselves with the weathered richness of their geographically unmistakable setting."	NEU
United Kingdom	Mark Adams Screendaily	"This bright and frothy animated animal romp may well be rather familiar, but it still offers plenty of fun and enjoyment for the young ones."	POS
United Kingdom	Olly Richards Empire	"A flavourless concoction that tries to tap into the storytelling of a 'Madagascar' or 'Lion King' but falls well short of the humour and pathos of either. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of five)"	NEG
