The Brilliance of this movie is:
That 5 year OLDS will Love it and
ADULTS will find it Hysterically Ridiculous!
Good family film for movie night. I can recommend this film to other parents, it's clean, and your kids should enjoy it.
Overall a solid movie. Certainly no content that would be offensive to a young audience, I appreciate that. The elephants are the real stars and I enjoyed watching them very much. I can recommend this to parents and animals lovers of all ages.
This is not a blockbuster. It's not a massive epic with explosions and CGI. It's a wonderful story, independently made, about a boy's experience in Africa and the elephant he encounters. The cinematography is excellent and the lead, Sam Ashe Arnold, puts in a moving performance. The story itself could be tighter, as well as the editing, but in spite of that, the story is engaging. The children in the audience seemed to enjoy the film very much.
Note: At our screening, there was an interview for the first 10 minutes with a gentleman who runs an elephant reserve in South Africa. Anyone who left might have missed the actual film entirely, so read the first review accordingly.
This is a great movie to introduce the plight of elephants in the wild and the dangers of poaching.

I felt dumber for watching this "children's movie". The director and editor should be removed from the movie business for letting the word "boy" or "good boy" be uttered no less than 500 times in this film. Huley's performance was also very lackluster..
