Iwajú: The Disney+ series set in a futuristic Lagos – BBC Africa
Meet the brains behind the new Disney series set in a sci-fi Nigeria, that has a certain ‘Wakanda’ feel.
A 2018 BBC interview propelled the pan-African creative team of @Kugalimedia into a collaboration with Disney.

Love seeing afrofuturism getting a much deserved shine. Most people think Marvel invented the genre with their Black Panther movie when that is far from the truth
This is so exciting! I hope to see more Africanfuturism stories!
Why can’t I find it on Disney plus?🤔
Not a fan of Disney and will never be a fan. So I don’t know what to make of this as an African. I’m also disappointed that they are not speaking in an African language and then adding subtitles for people to understand. That would have been impressive. At the end of the day, there’s nothing special about making any movie in English, lots of cultures do it. Would have loved to hear an African language promoted or the global world.
Great video 💯📸💯
Why go with Disney ? Go alone…disney is dangerous LGBTq
Amazing film .. great
I have watched the Iwaju animation series. It is really nice. kudos to the naija boys and to disney for their partnership
I hope they don't start secretly sneaking in LGBTQXYZ undertones to the kids through these movies, trying to indoctrinate African kids. 🤨
Oh congratulations to you guys for creating such a brilliant animation of Niger through Disney (Ha-Ha)! Cheers and I do hope that you little darlings enjoy the adventure but also remember that we're actually doing ours oh, Lonta(laugh)! Do have a Very Happy Easter and until then, it's therefore Goodbye from Him and goodbye from me! Khadeeja Alghali-Rahman (London, UK)👍💪👏😹🥳🎉🕴️🎥⚒️🐜🐚🐡🦔🙉🐐🐎🦋🐌🦗🦃🐓❤🐞⚓🐑🕊️🐔🤼🌴🏖️🏜️☀️🌜🌛
Thus movie is perfect. It portrays what is true in a way it can be easily swallowed yet maintaining a fun environment which is good for all ages. Looking forward to more of this
That's my cousin. 💛💛
Good Job Disney, now we want an African princess Disney movie too.
Iwaju! take the lead and more grease to your elbow. Proudly African✊
So what are white people conquering the galaxy while Africans are stuck on earth?
🌟Exciting news! promises to be a captivating journey into Afrofuturism. Can't wait to see this vibrant blend of culture and imagination! 🎬🔮
Well done Kugali 👏🏾 😊
Just make sure they pay them well! Love seeing my black people win.
What i don't like is how there is mass begging in a futuristic lagos which isn't even that bad in the present day so it's sickening to say the least
I have never bought any movie in the cinema but if this comes out I will surely buy it
Naija to the World ❤🇳🇬
Very BIG Respect and Blessings 💪🏾💪🏾
Disney performed a classic business move: buy the competition.
I thought Nigeria no get light o 😂😂😂
Kudos to the ppl involved on this.
That's how you do it.
You don't twist original histories and characters, you create new ones!
Wonderful except people in Nigeria can't even watch it cuz there isn't Disney Plus in Nigeria
Iwaju is the best thing I've watched this year😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Unfortunately its not available to watch in Nigeria
Well finally, Disney waking up! After all the rubbish they have been creating and retelling the same lame tales…it makes sense to get Kugali onboard! Vibrant and exciting young Africans who have a story to tell!.it's about time!
Watchd all 6episodes yesterday n i LOVED it
Now all disney has to do is bring disney plus to nigeria so that nigerians can watch an animation set in nigeria about nigerians.
Omggggg ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
disney? no thanks

🤝
Amazing show! We want season 2 and an amusement park ride! 🎉
Old I love this but it looks sloppy a little like the writers where I love with the story but not the animators
I wanted to say i couldnt wait to watch it but its says its a disney+ series which isnt even available in Nigeria so the people in which the story is abt cant even watch it or what?….
🎉🎉❤🤎🖤
Omg I am so proud of Nigeria 🇳🇬❤ 🇬🇭 Opening up the borders for African representation into a broader audience. I cant wait to watch 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow. This is so lovely 😍😍😍
Fab!!!
Wow
Disney?! 😂😂😂 No thanks brothers, my Kenyan eyes will not be supporting this. Congrats, go independent next time your country has all the resources you need and this continent has more if you need it
Talk about a 360° turn moment.
Finally some that showcases our people😊
Hummm Disney. I hope it’s not a mass immunisation scheme recruiting young uns to the agenda. PG parents!!!
That's how you respond to a challenge 😂 you acquire!
