Khumba

Director: Anthony Silverston
Actors: Jake T. Austin, Adrian Rhodes, Sam Riegel
PlotIn a remote part of the Great Karoo, a young zebra named Khumba is born with only half his stripes, setting him apart from his herd. This physical difference causes him to be ostracized, especially during a severe drought that his superstitious herd believes he brought upon them. To prove himself and find his full stripes, Khumba sets out on a journey across the desert to discover a legendary waterhole that might hold the key to all his problems.
Along this adventure, Khumba encounters various creatures, both friends and foes. Among his allies are a colorful wildebeest named Mama V and a flamboyant ostrich named Bradley, who help him navigate the perilous terrain and daunting challenges. As Khumba ventures further, he learns important life lessons about bravery, acceptance, and finding one's place in the world. This transformative quest encourages Khumba to embrace his unique identity and shows that true stripes are not earned by conforming but by staying true to oneself.

Khumba's colorful, charming animation and strong Blu-ray quality will delight young viewers, but its recycled plot and lack of originality may bore adults.
