The kids' movie market is crowded with superior specimens; they'll eat Khumba alive.

A dearth of new and interesting ideas characterises this stock animated caper with furry critters a-plenty.

If it were a little worse then it might offer some mindless good fun.

The animation is vibrant and the voice cast impressive... So it's a great shame that the animators and actors are let down by the meandering plot and trite dialogue.

When this South African animated adventure embraces its unique setting and characters, it's visually stunning and a lot of fun.

Khumba isn't original - it's indebted in particular to The Lion King and Madagascar - but younger kids should enjoy the colourful safari.

Please donï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)t watch this worst animated movie ever

Jul 3, 2018

I caught this on Netflix and found it quite entertaining. It follows the hero's journey to a tee has a fantastic cast and a great soundtrack. While this is no Lion King it is still a fantastic movie not just by South African standards but by global standards.

"Khumba" is essentially cut-and-paste cinema. The film's creators borrow a lot from the "Madagascar" and "Ice Age" films, and while that doesn't sound that bad, "Khumba" is disastrously uninspired.
