Great Film overall
Fantastic!
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Perhaps not 10, but yet more than 7. Somebody else here wanted to rate it 10, but gave it a 7 because at the beginning of the movie the word "ass" was used in front of his younger children. My god, really? Yes, it not nice when you would have a movie with people cursing from the beginning to the end. No for children. But this? Really?If my children, when they were wrong, heard such a word, I explained it to them. Letting them have their own conclusions, finally. But, by the way, ass is a part of the body. They should learn where that belongs, isn't it?When there is shooting and killing, or raping, or abusing people, physically or mentally, wouldn't that be MORE a movie to disapprove for children to watch?
Yes, yes, another talking-wild-animal film, complete with journey of discover for the poor half- striped zebra who doesn't fit it. But I found it to be a first-class effort of its type. Oh, yes, it does slow down a bit in the middle; they could have tightened it up quite a lot. But some of the animated characters were quite clever, humorous, or both. And the cultural memes and stories utilized in the plot, being out of South Africa, were significantly different than the approach that say, Disney or Dreamworks might have taken.Your kids will enjoy it. And if you appreciate animation, you'll enjoy a fresh approach to a familiar type of animated features.
An excellent movie for children. Best of Kumbha is that unlike other children's films, has a nice positive message against discrimination and transmitted to children important values.The movie is entertaining, is not boring and has very funny parts, the kids really enjoy seeing it. The film is suitable for children, unlike other films like 'UP' or 'Monsters.SA', you will not find adult humor hidden or double meanings, everything is exclusively aimed at children.Note that it is not a blockbuster like Disney or Pixar studios, since the quality of the 3D animation is not as good as these, the 3d has good quality.
Khumba is a young zebra who is only partly striped. Blamed for drought, he goes off to search for a magical waterhole accompanied by a lady water buffalo and a camp ostrich, and hunted by a leopard.This is a workmanlike CGI feature aimed at kids, and quite effective. It suffers from fairly mercilessly calling up The Lion King in its early stages (most of the Lion King characters have analogues, the character dynamics and motivations are similar, and it even has Pride Rock in it), but it settles down to tell its own story. Animation and voices are good (Liam Neeson is particularly effective), and there are some gorgeous lighting effects.This is entertaining if unexceptional.
