Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kirikou et la Sorcière (Kirikou and the Sorceress) is a 1998 French animated film, directed by Michel Ocelot, loosely based on "Fereyel and Debbo Engal the Witch", a West African (Fulani) fairy tale. Senegalese musician Youssou N'Dour composed the soundtrack.It tells the story of a tiny baby boy, named Kirikou, who is born in a spectacular way (all by himself, without effort of his mother nor outside help) and can speak and walk immediately after being born. After a couple of questions, he learns that a wicked sorceress, Karaba, has cursed the village, extorted the women's gold and jewels and devoured all the men and boys, except his uncle, who is on his way to fight the sorceress. He tricks the sorceress, saves his uncle as well as the children of the village (twice!), brings the water back to the dried-up spring and, among other things, discovers the sorceress' true motivations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })There's lots of controversy because of the depiction of nudity, although the real pre-colonial Africans did walk that way in a completely asexual atmosphere. But since America has terrible issues with women's nipples, the film wasn't released in the United States until 2002.It was so successful that it spawned an interquel called Kirikou et les bêtes sauvages (Kirikou and the Wild Beasts) in 2005 and a musical, Kirikou et Karaba (Kirikou and Karaba), in 2007. A second interquel, Kirikou et les Hommes et les Femmes (Kirikou and the Men and Women), was released in 2012 and focuses on the people of Kirikou's village and beyond. | |

Power at a Price | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: The thorn in Karaba's back gives her magical powers, but it also causes her intense pain all the time. When Kirikou removes it, she feels much better and hardly even regrets the loss of (most of) her magic. | |

Discard and Draw | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_1f39b662 | comment |
Discard and Draw: When Karaba's thorn is removed by Kirikou, she loses her power over the men she turned into fetishes and her aura that destroys all life around her. Instead, life starts actively blooming around her, and one kiss from her turns Kirikou into a grown man. | |

Poisonous Person | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_27ae4a75 | comment |
Poisonous Person: Not in the traditional way, but Karaba is associated with poison and blight nevertheless as a motif. Her personal weapon is a poisonous lance, all life withers and dies under her influence, one of her minions is a venomous viper, and she derives her sorcerous powers from a venomous thorn stuck in her back. | |

Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry | |

Everything's Sparkly with Jewelry: Karaba wears lots of jewelry, including in her hair and on her breasts, and forces the women of the village to give up all their gold and jewelry to her. However, one woman tried to cheat the rule and hide some of her jewellery in her hut, and when the fetishes found it, they burned her hut down. | |

When Trees Attack | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_4a9c731e | comment |
When Trees Attack: In her second attempt to kidnap the village's children, Karaba sets up a tree for the children to climb in. It turns out to be alive, its branches closes themselves forming a cage around the children and it then runs at high speed towards Karaba's hideout. Kirikou thwarts that attempt by catching up with the tree on the road and cutting its trunk with a machete, and the only thing that returns to Karaba is a tree trunk as a result. | |

Wise Beyond Their Years | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_4f773434 | comment |
Wise Beyond Their Years: Kirikou already knows how to speak seconds before exiting his mother's womb, instantly knows how to walk, and proves to be the smartest and wisest member of his village, despite being a baby. Even his childlike curiosity is a sign of wisdom, because he actually questions why Karaba is evil rather than blindly hating her like the rest of the village does. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Karaba enrages both times that Kirikou thwarts her attempts to kidnap the village's children and when he manages to solve the dry water source problem.

This leaves her exposed and far away from the all-seeing fetish that could have potentially warned her about Kirikou's impending attack. | |

Forced Transformation: The witch's army consists of men she has transformed into fetishes. When Kirikou tears out the source of her suffering and her witch powers, they all turn back to their true forms. | |

Water Source Tampering | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_c3cdd2b8 | comment |
Water Source Tampering: Karaba made sure the village's main water source went dry. Kirikou decides to look it up closely and finds out a creature has been drinking it all for a while (the creature's belly has grown gigantic from all the water). He then borrows a red iron to pop it like a balloon, restoring the village's water supply, but at the cost of himself nearly drowning. | |

Aesop Amnesia | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_c435ec5d | comment |
Aesop Amnesia: The village's children are none the wiser when climbing in the ominous black tree right after the sorceress' canoe misadventure Kirikou saved them from, despite Kirikou soundly warning them both times and a mother warning them after the canoe incident. Sure enough, they're trapped again and it's up to Kirikou to save them before Karaba gets them. And that's after they sang about how brave and smart he is. | |

Cassandra Truth | |
| Kirikou and the Sorceress / int_cf92fea8 | comment |
Cassandra Truth: Twice, when the now adult Kirikou returns to his village and tells everyone that he is the very child they knew and loved. If his mother didn't come forth and recognize him as her own son, they never would've been convinced. The next one is when he tells the villagers that Karaba is no longer a sorceress. They only interpret it as her still being a sorceress who just lost all her powers and want to kill her. At that moment, Kirikou's grandfather, accompanied by all the men who disappeared from the village and were turned into fetishes by Karaba, comes forth and convinces the villagers that Kirikou wasn't lying about Karaba. | |

Anti-Villain: Karaba is evil because of all the suffering she went through at the hands of men, including a very subtly implied rape. All the bad things that she allegedly had done are ultimately proven to be false. She does hate everyone, but she gets better. | |
