The Sloth Lane

After his herd rejects him for having only half his stripes, a young zebra sets out on a mission across the Karoo Desert to find the legendary water hole where the first zebras got their distinctive markings.

Part of Hyde & Seek

Part of Leeds International African Arts Festival

A half-striped zebra that is rejected by his superstitious, all-striped herd goes on a daring quest in this bright and lively South African animated adventure comedy, which has an important message about learning to accept yourself. After the other zebras blame the strange-looking foal for the lack of rain and spreading drought, he ventures beyond his home, following a map to what may be a water source. Along the way he encounters a diverse range of animals, from a ferocious leopard to a free-spirited wildebeest and an insecure ostrich, learning that difference can be a strength.

This film has been programmed as part of Leeds International African Arts Festival, and is supported by its creators, Trigger Fish Animation Studio in Cape Town.
