'Kirikou and the Wild Beasts' (French: 'Kirikou et les Btes sauvages') is a 2005 French animated feature film. It premiered at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival on 13 May and, unlike its predecessor, received only festival screenings in all English-speaking territories. It was released on English-subtitled DVD-Video in the United States by KimStim (distributed by Kino International) on 29 July 2008 as 'Kirikou and the Wild Beast'.

Synopsis
The film is a sub-story to 'Kirikou and the Sorceress' rather than a straight sequel. The movie is set while Kirikou is still a child and Karaba is still a sorceress. Like 'Princes et Princesses' and 'Les Contes de la nuit', it is an anthology film comprising several episodic stories, each of them describing Kirikou's interactions with different animals. It is however unique among Michel Ocelot's films, not only in that it is co-directed by Bndicte Galup (who has previously worked with him as an animator) but also for each of the stories being written by a different person (in all other cases, Ocelot has been the sole writer and director of his films).
