Elephant

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.

Elephant was a fun, light, endearing, and poignant nature movie from Disney+ that the entire family can enjoy. Meghan Markle's narration was engaging, confident, warm, and beautifully soothing. Her narration was the glue that held the movie together. I hope she does more voiceover work in the future because she's great at it. So check out the movie for an amazing narration and a sweet elephant adventure about survival and triumphing over obstacles.

Engaging nature doc perfect for all ages. The story is captivating and well written. Music was excellent and helped the narrative. Narration was engaging, pitch perfect, and added to the story of these beautiful elephants.

Most of the negative reviews are from people who have something to say about Meghan, the narrator of this film. I would ask yourself if someone creates an account to try and shame the narrator of a nature doc meant for children, what does that say about them?

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 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.
