...very African," says Pierre Block de Friberg, CFI's programming director. After its initial airing, CFI released the show to television stations across French-speaking Africa; Pictoon now plans to make an English- language version, which it hopes to sell in other markets around the world. Sauvalie, whose thick dreadlocks brush his back as he darts from table to table overseeing new work, runs a two-year drawing and computer animation training course for every employee at Pictoon; qualified cartoonists, in turn, teach new arrivals how to draw. Increasingly these days the global animation business is being outsourced. Much...

Today this cave entrance looks west over a gully choked with soaring swamp gums and mottled dogwood trees, fallen logs and bark rotting at their feet under a damp smothering of moss, red mushrooms and the thick mulch of autumn's deluge of leaves. But if this art does date to the last Ice Age, its guardians - their bodies probably rubbed with a mixture of ocher and animal fat against the cold - would have looked out on a much barer world.
