One of the most ambitious animation anthologies is available now on Disney Plus, I am referring to Kizaki Moto: Generation Fire. It has been described as a game-changer for the African Animation Industry as it continued to scale to new heights.
Executive Produced by Oscar-winner Peter Ramsey (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) and Anthony Silverston of the South African Animation House, Triggerfish, and Tendayi Nyeke, Kizaki Moto: Generation Fire offers viewers a brand-new anthology that blends mythology, science fiction, and Afrofuturism. It is presented in ten visions of the future from an African perspective.
According to IGN Africa, here is a list of the creators that are involved in this project: Ahmed Teilab from Egypt, Simangaliso ‘Panda’ Sibaya and Malcolm Wope from South Africa, Terence Maluleke and Isaac Mogajane from South Africa, Ng’endo Mukii from Kenya, Shofela Coker from Nigeria, Nthato Mokgata and Catherine Green from South Africa, Pious Nyenyewa and Tafadzwa Hove from Zimbabwe, Tshepo Moche from South Africa, Raymond Malinga from Uganda, and Lesego Vorster from South Africa.
The new anthology will focus on Africa’s ancient histories, folklore, and contemporary landscapes to reimagine a world with cyborg cattle, flying mini-bus taxis, and so much more. Rest assured, there will be a review of this anthology coming soon! I am looking forward to what Triggerfish and these talented creators have in store for us!
