Khan kluay

To cash on the popularity of newly discovered animated movies in India and the rising popularity of Akshay Kumar, Khan Kluay/ The Blue Elephant is viewed as a cash cow. What a con game!!!

At least "Hum Hain Laajawab" was clean enough to claim it was The Incredibles. But Jumbo is a big farce and I am happy it ended up the well-deserved tanking at the box office.

With regards to the story, it simply fails to connect with the children. A simple linear story could have been identifiable with kids, but the story starts off on a wrong note. Even my son felt disenchanted within 30-minutes. As for me, the movie seemed to be a rehash of Lion King.

Waste of effort to get names like Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Dimple Kapadia, Gulshan Grover, Asrani, Rajpal Yadav into this failed miserable venture.

I watched "Khan Kluay" aka "The Blue Elephant" English version. This film seems to have receive poor reviews from several people expecting a "G" type Disney movie, but in my opinion it was a very good film. Definitely worth watching at least once. The animation was better then average, even if it was not up to par with the big name releases. It had a storyline that I think would appeal to both adults as well as children. It was not a baby / child movie as your first impression of the cover might lead you to believe.

And despite the lack of blood, it was a story of strength, fighting for good, and of perseverance. It was entertaining, and had a happy ending.

This is Old 2006 Thai Movie dubbed in Hindi.

Akshay Kumar's Jumbo where the superstar has not just lent his voice for the central character of an elephant but also shot for an exclusive music video - 'Everything Is Gonna Be Alright'. While Percept Picture Company has proudly flashed their association with Akshay Kumar for the film and there have been (reported) talks about him being paid Rs. 9 crores to come behind the mike, the production house has chosen to keep the film's origin as a closely held secret.

Well, the secret which has been unveiled now throws quite some surprise as it is revealed that the animation film Jumbo is neither an Indian product nor has it been made in collaboration with an International animation house. Instead, Percept Picture Company has claimed the rights of a Thai film that goes by the name of Khan Kluay.

Khan Kluay, which was released in 2006, is a Thai computer-animated feature film and is about a baby elephant named Khan Kluay who wanders away from his mother and eventually becomes the war elephant (for whom Akshay Kumar has given the voice-over).

The film has been directed by Kompin Kemgumnird, an animator who has worked on the Disney features such as Atlantis: The Lost Empire & Tarzan and also Blue Sky Studios' Ice Age. The film was in the making for three years and cost 150 million baht (about $3.9 million USD). When released in 2006, the film was the highest grossing Thai film in 2006 with an approximate box-office receipt of 91 million baht. The film has already been released on DVD in the United States with its title as The Blue Elephant. The movie has won numerous awards ever since its release and now looks at making an impression at Indian theaters with Akshay Kumar endorsing its case.

Was enjoying watching it with my kids - the animation is good and the story was interesting enough. But then it came to the part where they are teaching kids that animals don't harm one another unless they are being threatened, "only MAN does that".... First of all, that's a total crock. Animals of all different species will hurt and kill each other for a variety of reasons and not always out of some basic necessity either. I'm tired of movies promoting this idea that the animal kingdom is this peaceful wonderful place and that humans should feel guilty and bad because we're horrible awful creatures. Embedding this guilt into our psyches and teaching kids to think this way is how we end up with tragedies like Timothy Treadwell's death. Am I getting a bit worked up over a simple kids movie? Perhaps. But for me it felt like the straw that broke the camel's back, there are far too many children's animal/nature movies like this, created by people who don't know a thing about nature.

I enjoyed this film while seeing on TV i noticed that all desings are similar like in a thai ar elephants i caughted it on its real name 2006 released (Khan Kluay). but pribhi love jumbo.
