Perfect tone for a familial entertainment

The visuals were spectacular and the narrator's voice was so soothing and engaging.

Following the journey of little jomo and his family was like drinking a hot cocktail of different types of emotions. From sadness to laughter then fear. Definitely perfect to spread awareness about those magnificent creatures.

Everything good except the narrator

The narrator ruined it for me. Not only the voice itself but the actual dialogue I thought was stupid.

Fantastic cinematography

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.

Meghan Markle is A Brilliant Narrator

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.

Stunning to look at, painful on the ears

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.
