Pokou Princesse Ashanti - Ivory Coast's first 3D animated film

She’s sassy, courageous and she stands up to the ‘baddies’ who rule the kingdom.

Afrikatoon, a production company in Ivory Coast, has turned the story into a 3D animation - joining the small, but growing, number of African countries to produce 3D animated films. The BBC’s Tamasin Ford went along to the film première in Abidjan, the commercial capital.
