Check out this adorable new trailer for director Anthony Silverston’s KHUMBA.

After screening at the Annecy and Durban film festivals, it was announced yesterday KHUMBA will have its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

KHUMBA tells the story of a half-striped zebra who is blamed for the drought by his superstitious herd. He leaves his home in search of the magic waterhole where legend has it, the first zebras got their stripes. Teaming up with an overprotective, sassy wildebeest and a self-obsessed ostrich, this plucky young zebra meets an array of wacky characters in an unforgettable adventure through the Great Karoo desert to earn his stripes.

The cast includes Liam Neeson, Laurence Fishburne and Steve Buscemi.

KHUMBA is the second animated feature to be produced by Cape Town-based, Triggerfish Animation Studios, which has seen a successful global release of ADVENTURES IN ZAMBEZIA. The original story was penned by Triggerfish writers Raffaella Delle Donne and Anthony Silverston in consultation with Jonathan Roberts, co-writer of The Lion King.

Other voices in the movie are Jake T. Austin (Rio, New Years Eve), AnnaSophia Robb (Soul Surfer) and Joey Richter (A Very Potter Musical), as well as Emmy-award winner, Loretta Devine (Grey’s Anatomy, Crash), Richard E. Grant (The Iron Lady, Corpse Bride) and British comedy actress Catherine Tate (The Catherine Tate Show, Doctor Who).
