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.
"The blue elephant." as it was introduced to me, is a movie telling the story of a little elephant who is searching for his father, while learning life lessons and growing up.
Yea.. That's basically it.. It's your classical generic idea but a little modified but still.. I don't hate this! The animation is kind of meh (i understand it was produced on 2006 but cmon) the characters are generic, and the movie is very predictable.
It does have it's pros, like the life lesson hitting right, the film Is overall "fun" (at least i dint got bored watching it). The character development is kind of meh for the mc,and the soundtrack is kind of nice and catchy!
The cons? Oh boy, the writing is predictable, the characters are generic and very plain (except for the mc as previously mentioned), at some point in the movie, the writing gets so poor that it even contradicts itself, the voice acting is primitive and some gags are only for comic relief and not funny.
Overall? I don't really recommend this movie, it's target audience is for kids, like.. Really little kids, but if you got some free time or have kids (so they can watch with you),not a must watch but.. it's a meh ride.

This movie is very disappointing. The cover is aimed at little kids, you would be forgiven for thinking it would all cute, warm and fuzzy.
Definitely NOT! It is full of death war and violence! Please research this further before allowing your little girls watch this one.
The suggestions of "if you liked this you'll like care bears" is also misleading. If you liked this movie you are more likely a nine to 12 year old boy into armies and battles.
The movie glorifies war and dying for your country. I cannot say enough how disappointed I was and how misleading the cover and review on the cover is.

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.
