It’s formulaic, but also largely entertaining, quite touching, occasionally amusing and competently animated.

What are critics saying?
Resoundingly terrible.
The voice ensemble is game, if not especially well matched.
The New York Times by Miriam Bale
A wondrous and slightly deranged story about oddballs embracing their differences.
RogerEbert.com by Simon Abrams
Khumba is disastrously uninspired. Not even a galaxy of stars, united in their willingness to take a check, can save Khumba from being the boringest plucky outsider of all.
Even the film’s key source of charm, its heartfelt allegory about tolerance, becomes a flaw when rare flashes of anarchy (notably a tribe of crazed rodents) are eclipsed by over earnestness.
