Last weekend we had our first, exclusive screening of Khumba for a bunch of critics who, we knew, would give us a no-holds-barred assessment of the film. We were amazed at how much of the film they were able to follow (and enjoy!) considering it is still in storyboard format. There were even some aspiring actors who were keen to have a word with Director, Anthony Silverston about casting them

Khumba loved the novelty of being in a diner but struggled to find something on the menu that suited his taste.No matter how many times we told him otherwise, Khumba was convinced the beach was a desert and that the sea was just "an enormous waterhole".Khumba had heard that everything in America was super-size but this was just ridiculous!If Khumba could drive this would be his choice of

Congratulation to Zambezia Director, Wayne Thornley for making it on the Mail & Guardian's list of 200 Young South Africans (you must take out to lunch). Seeing as the film features an all-bird cast whatever you do, don't order chicken or duck, Wayne - that would just be weird.
