Ele, My Friend

I really love elephants and this movie was fun for me to watch with my young children who love elephants too. There are a few "scary" parts for young children and I did see them cry a few times, but other than that they really were captivated. Parts of the movie are slow in the beginning but then it picks up and moves at a quick pace. It does not have all the special effects that big Hollywood movies have but it is a good story that does not need gimmicks to carry the it. The film shows the parallel emotions of elephants and humans and science is now proving that to be true. Elephants have very similar brain development as humans and their family bonds are extremely strong. Request this from Netflixs as it is hard to find.
