A half-striped zebra named Khumba (Jake T. Austin)
is born into an insular, isolated herd obsessed with stripes. Rumors
that the strange foal is cursed spread and, before long, he is blamed
for the drought that sets into the Great Karoo, except for Tombi (AnnaSophia Robb) his female zebra friend who has a huge crush on him. When a mystical mantis (Adrian Rhodes) appears to the foal, He draws a map to what could be interpreted as either water or stripes. When even his father Seko (Laurence Fishburne), the leader of the herd, blames him for the lack of rain and the subsequent death of his mother Lungisa (Anika Noni Rose), the outcast zebra
leaves the confines of his home knowing that he cannot survive in the
herd without all his stripes.
Khumba ventures beyond the fence -
vulnerable to the ferocious Leopard Phango (Liam Neeson), who terrorizes all the animals in the Great Karoo.
Born blind in one eye and rejected by his family when he was just a cub
has made Phango obsessed with being whole. Phango is highly
superstitious and, unbeknownst to Khumba, has been waiting for the
half-striped zebra, which, according to an ancient myth will make him the most powerful hunter that ever lived.
After a close shave with an opportunistic wild dog Skalk (Steve Buscemi) by a quirky duo: a wildebeest and an ostrich. Mama V (Loretta Devine) is a self-confessed free spirit who does not want to be the average stay-at-home mom, like other wildebeest. Ironically, she mothers Bradley (Richard E. Grant), a flamboyant but insecure ostrich
who overcompensates for his scraggily feathers. The duo join Khumba on
his quest in the hope that their own search for a safe waterhole is
over. On their journey, Khumba encounters a colorful range of characters
including a migrating herd of Springbok (Rob van Vuuren, Nik Rabinowitz,
and Matthew Dylan Roberts) and in search of greener (and safer)
pastures; a new age, bohemian community living safely within the
confines of a Ying's national park; an endangered Riverine Rabbit (Jeff Bennett)
who has survived extinction by mastering a myriad of skills ranging
from impersonations to beat-boxing; a group of hysterical Dassies (rock-rabbits) (Khary Payton, Dee Bradley Baker, Charlie Adler) who fanatically worship the Mighty Black Eagle (Roger L. Jackson) to Tell a Story to what happened to Phango but he's was young cub and kill his mother and his family; and Nora (Catherine Tate), a loony, solitary Merino sheep living on an abandoned farm.
