The proud Lion King has welcomed a son. Therefore, he invites all the animals to a grand celebration. The excitement is immense, but... how does one dress up most festively for this occasion? The animals ponder for a long time, tossing ideas back and forth. Then the little leopard has a brilliant idea... to paint each other in colors! Enthusiastically, they get to work. It gets quite chaotic, and for some animals, things turn out very differently than planned. We learn how the baboon got his red backside and why the donkey has lived with humans ever since... A traditional story from Tanzania that comes to life in extraordinary, colorful illustrations. The stars are the animals of the African savannah.
