Story (Khumba review):
Introduction (Khumba review):
In the start of the Khumba review movie, he see a lot of zebras playing together. They lived there. They had made a pointed boundary around their area to keep themselves safe and no one could attack them.
A unique zebras born:
One day, their leader whose name was Seko, had a baby who had stripes on half of his body and half of his body was stripe less. All the zebras thought him a curse.
Khumba:
His father encouraged him and told him that you are our Khumba and that’s how he was named Khumba which means the person who never gives up.
Khumba and his mother conversation:
All the zebras drank water from a lake and pass through it but slowly the lake ran out of water. Khumba’s mother told him that there was a time when we don’t have stripes then we found some magic water and when we entered it, our body got stripes.
Some animal enter the boundary for drinks water:
Khumba saw some animals near their area that were thirsty so Khumba opened the boundary for them and they drank water but this made the other zebras angry.
Tiger tried to cross the boundary:
A tiger tried to come in by seeing the boundary open but Seko quickly closed the door and the zebras were safe.
Khumba mother death:
The tiger threatened them that when your water will be all out, you will come out of this boundary. The tiger saw Khumba and smelled him. He wanted to have Khumba. On the other side, Khumba’s mother got died because she was sick for a long time.
Khumba met a wild dog:
Khumba went out of the boundary and met a wild dog named Skalk. He asked him that whether he knew the way to the magic water.
Khumba met wild beest:
They start their journey together and on their way, they met a wild beest named Mama and an ostrich named Bradley.
Animals attacked the Khumba:
The wild took them to his house where all the other animals attacked them but Mama V saved them. Khumba told them his story and Mama told him that she will stay with him till the end and they continue their journey together.
Wild dog told everything to tiger about Khumba:
The wild dog went to the tiger and told him that he had seen a zebra out of the boundary and after hearing this, tiger went out to find him. When Khumba’s father knew about missing Khumba, he quickly went out to save him where he found some footprints of Khumba and some tiger footprints.
Mama V and Khumba reached a spot:
He came back and told everyone that may be Khumba had died. Khumba and Mama V reached a spot where there was a lake. He entered it but nothing happened.
There, some human saw him and took him with them as he was a unique zebra but a rabbit saved him and took him to an eagle that knew that way to the magic water.
Tiger attacked the Khumba:
When Khumba reached the magic water, the tiger also got him and attacked Khumba but the cave in which they were both in was very weak and destroyed.
Tiger death (Khumba review):
The tiger fell from a mountain and a rock fell on him and he died. On the other side, Zebra’s area was all out of water so they changed their spot. The rabbit who helped Khumba told them that he was alive and looking for magic water, so Khumba’s father and the other zebra’s left to find him.
Khumba fell into water:
All the zebras reached the cave but Khumba also fell in the water. Suddenly rain starts and Khumba also recovered and all the animals realized that the rain was all due to Khumba.
Happy ending (Khumba review):
All of them were very happy and start living there. Mama V and all the other animals that helped him also start living with them and that’s how the story ends happily.

The villain of the movie is a tiger named Phango. He wanted to eat Khumba because he thought that Khumba had stripes on half of his body and half of his body is stripe less so he is more powerful and after eating him he would also become powerful. Due to this, he attacked Khumba but Khumba was safe and the tiger died by falling from a mountain.

In the start of the movie, fossils are shown in the water and did you notice that they were so clear that we can even see their eyes.

- We should not think badly for anyone.
- Never mock anyone.

- We should never lose hope.
