In the African plains known as the Karoo, a zebra calf named Khumba (Jake T Austin) was born. However, he is only half-striped, and when Khumba is blamed for a drought, he sets off on an adventure to earn his stripes. Along the way, Khumba meets a motherly wildebeest named Mama V (Loretta DeVine) and a flamboyant ostrich named Bradley (Richard E Grant), and must confront an evil leopard named Phango (Liam Neeson).
At first glance, Khumba looks like a knockoff of DreamWorks' Madagascar. However, upon further inspection, Khumba is actually closer to Happy Feet, as both films starred black-and-white animals who are blamed for a famine/drought and go on a dangerous adventure full of exotic characters.
