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.

I just finished watching Khumba and i found it very interesting, enjoyful and funny to watch. This is by no means only a child movie, even adults will enjoy them. I liked it :) To begin with? The animation is wonderful(at one moment i thought, is this animation), the story is moving, the characters are well written and lovable. Even the "side villain dog" is lovable and funny in a way. You may find out the story a little stereotypical but the journey it will take you through is enjoyable and you are not bored at all. OK the Ostrich is sometimes a bit over. Thats all. There are other characters like tiger, buffalo, rabbit, eagle, Gazelles, hedgehogs apart from zebras that you will surely enjoy.I even enjoyed it more than "Frozen" which is creating a hype nowadays. Just go ahead don't listen to negative criticism and give it a watch.This is my first review ever here and English not my first language so please ignore any errors.I give it 7.5 out of 10.

Absolutely loved "Khumba." It was light-hearted and funny, and yet at the same time really touching and poignant.I found the characters of Khumba and Mama V really refreshing. And Liam Neeson was positively terrifying!!! Many parts of it reminded me of The Lion King (which is one of my all-time favourites!!) So in one way, I found it like a beautiful South African version of the childhood movie I love. (Spotting the Pride Rock-shaped rock, the stampede and the Rafiki-like mantis made it feel really close to home!)I think my favourite scene has got to be the one with the Springboks - I almost cried I laughed so hard! Loved the scenery, culture and colours - the animation was phenomenal! Will definitely be watching it again :)
