Disney has announced that the Disney+ Original animated series, “Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire,” is going to be released on Hulu later this week on Wednesday, 28th February 2024.

This action-packed animated sci-fi anthology presents ten futuristic visions from Africa inspired by the continent’s diverse histories and cultures. Executive produced by Oscar-winning director Peter Ramsey, these ten short films made by a new generation of animation creators draw on uniquely African perspectives to imagine brave new worlds of advanced technology, aliens, spirits, and monsters. This is Africa, as you’ve never seen it before.

The action-packed animated anthology draws on the continent’s rich and diverse histories and cultures to present ten sci-fi and fantasy stories featuring bold and brave new worlds of advanced technology, aliens, spirits, and monsters.

The ten films are:

• “Stardust“ (Ahmed Teilab, Egypt)
• “Mkhuzi: The Spirit Racer“ (Simangaliso “Panda” Sibaya and Malcolm Wopé, South Africa)
• “Hatima“ (Terence Maluleke and Isaac Mogajane, South Africa)
• “Enkai“ (Ng’endo Mukii, Kenya), “Moremi“ (Shofela Coker, Nigeria)
• “Surf Sangoma“ (Nthato Mokgata and Catherine Green, South Africa)
• “Mukudzei“ (Pious Nyenyewa and Tafadzwa Hove, Zimbabwe)
• “First Totem Problems“ (Tshepo Moche, South Africa)
• “Herderboy“ (Raymond Malinga, Uganda)
• “You Give Me Heart“ (Lesego Vorster, South Africa).

“Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire” features an exciting cast from across the globe and includes the voices of Florence Kasumba (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever“), Kehinde Bankole (“Blood Sisters”), Pearl Thusi (“Queen Sono”), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (“Hotel Rwanda”, “Godzilla vs. Kong”), Sheila Munyiva (“Rafiki”), Stycie Waweru (“Supa Modo”, “Supa Sema”), Candice Modiselle (“Generations: The Legacy”), Lillian Dube (“Soul City”), Clementine Mosimane (“Poppie Nongena”), and Mandisa Nduna (“Blood Psalms”), as well as comedians Tumi Morake (“Seriously Single”), Sne Dladla (“Black Tax”), Tyson Ngubeni (“A Royal Surprise”) and rappers Nasty C (“Blood & Water”) and Gigi Lamayne (“Temptation Island: South Africa”).

“Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire” is executive produced by Peter Ramsey (co-director of the Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse”), alongside Tendayi Nyeke and Anthony Silverston from Triggerfish, the lead studio on this anthology.

This continues the trend of Disney spreading out its original programming across all of its streaming services and linear channels to increase their value by reaching a wider audience and making more money from advertising. This also continues to blur the lines of Hulu and Disney+.

“Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire” is also available to stream now on Disney+ around the world.
