But who is this giant who shouts himself hoarse, making the ground shake in the farmyard? Here, every day, everyone suffers the tyranny of the little screaming king named Kiko. When it comes to scaring animals, he has no shortage of imagination! But why does Kiko behave this way? And how can you lead a revolution when you're so small?
Embracing the perspective of “those smaller than oneself,” Kiko and the Animals plays with perceptions through its fast-paced animation, featuring a giant child disrupting the daily lives of his frightened little neighbors, and its joyful, minimalist music. With their wise words, the poor animals try to reason with the child, but to no avail. It is only when solidarity takes precedence over animosity that the child finally understands his mistake and returns to his normal size.
Kiko and the Animals is a gentle and intelligent fable that encourages us, both children and parents alike, to reflect on our relationship with animals, and therefore with others. It is a film that is all the more relevant to watch today, when humans tend to forget that the world does not revolve solely around them.
