Elefante

The cinematography of these elegant gentle giants migration beautifully captured their strengths, loss & triumphs. Duchess Meghan voice is like that hot cup of tea on a cold, wet day that gently, skillfully & enthusiastically guides the viewers on this epic journey.

I learned a great deal about the Kalahari elephant herd from this documentary. I was unaware of the 8 month annual migration to ensure ongoing access to food and water, the matriarchal leadership within the herd and had forgotten about the long gestation period for elephants. I was immersed the story of Gaia, Shani and Jomo's journey. The cinematography was gorgeous and captivating. The production was also excellent. The narration captured the right tone for a family oriented story. The seriousness, the playfulness and the triumphs were skillfully conveyed by the narrator's voice. I thoroughly enjoyed "Elephant." I encourage others to watch with their families and transport yourselves to the world of the Okavango River Delta in Botswana.

The film was great, let down by some weird type of Johnny Morris narration, to be honest I lasted 15 minutes before it became unbearable. I'm gobsmacked they went for that style.

The footage is beautiful - these are captivating animals, however you may want to put this film on mute. The narration is pure schmaltz, completely over the top and occasionally with emphasis in the wrong places.

The narrator ruined it for me. Not only the voice itself but the actual dialogue I thought was stupid.
