Khumba
2013, 85 min, Animation, English, South Africa, Director: Anthony Silverston
When a young zebra born with only half his stripes is rejected by his father and his herd, he befriends a sassy wildebeest and a flamboyant ostrich. With a villainous leopard on their tail, the trio set out on a daring quest to find the legendary waterhole where the first zebras got their stripes.
