[cinemaphile]

South Africa’s Triggerfish Animation Studios has added the voice talent of Steve Buscemi and The Good Wife’s Anika Noni Rose to its 3D animated feature, Khumba. They join Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne, AnnaSophia Robb, Jake T. Austin, Loretta Devine and Richard E. Grant. Khumba tells the story of a half-striped Zebra who is blamed for a severe drought by his herd. He teams up with a sassy wildebeest and a self-obsessed ostrich to go in search of the magic waterhole where legend has it the first zebras got their stripes and meets an array of wacky characters on the adventure.

....a mismatched group of wild animals on a trek meeting wacky characters along the way. So.... Madagascar 4?

This feels like some straight-to-video D-list dreck, but it's got some major names attached now, even if only in supporting roles, so obviously it's a theatrical release.
