Rejected by his superstitious herd, a half-striped zebra embarks on a daring quest to earn his stripes but finds the courage and self-acceptance to save all the animals of the Great Karoo.
A clunky fable.
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.
This likeable but limp South African ’toon about a half-striped zebra aims to reclaim its continent’s wildlife from Hollywood safaris like The Lion King. Sadly, it’s too timid to survive against feistier competition.
An identikit drone. Inoffensive.
Lovely animation and an abundance of comic relief should keep the tots engaged but this is not exactly The Lion King.
There's a pretty score of harmonic, Isicathamiya-influenced music, but this is a tedious time-killer for those desperate to keep kids occupied.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
