I was very surprised when I first heard of this movie. I've seen a few of these movies and never really had any interest in them, but I really enjoyed this one. I didn't think it was as good as the movie called "The Great Elephant Adventure", but I did enjoy it. This one was more of a western and the elephant in it was much more prominent. I really enjoyed this movie and I think it is very underrated. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

I have never seen this movie but it has been shown on many TV channels. It is a very good movie and it has some of the best jungle scenes ever filmed. It was a nice film to watch and a great adventure. I think that it is a film that is very important and a must see for all who love a good adventure.

The Houghton Library in Vancouver, Washington, is hosting a two-day-long documentary festival, "Federation: The Story of the Elephant," a kind of alternate reality that audiences can experience, a spiritualized version of modern-day Thailand's Siam and the forests of Myanmar, both known for their elephants. The festival director, Phil Plait, describes this alternate reality as "like an African version of Avatar or (if you will) with black people as the Avatar." So you might think that this film is supposed to be a legitimate documentary, but it's more of a diatribe against the cruel Chinese ivory trade and Buddhism's role in the world's destruction of wildlife. Among other things, the film features interview with David Wenham, the author of the film's title, who argues that Buddhism is essentially the old answer to the problem. It's not only that he's running away from the realities of life, it's that he's doing so in the name of a "more pure" way of life. There is plenty of fuel for this criticism in the film. A Chinese elephant is seen stomping over a Chinese farmer's chest, and one of the (analyst) characters says that the elephant is "the eye of a blind man." Another character, in the movie's climax, says, "God is good and evil is good." This is an interesting video presentation of Buddhist beliefs, but it only makes one point. And it's just a point. I can't remember what it is. But whatever it is, it's pretty clear that most of the action takes place in the forest. There's some wildlife footage (including one scene of a brown bear), some Buddhist prayers, and a bit of drama involving the poor Chinese man's wife and children. But most of the focus is on Buddhism. There are plenty of devotees in this film, many of whom take vows of poverty, seclusion, and obedience, and to whom the Dalai Lama has just been introduced. As with the Indian films "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West II," there's a party atmosphere in this film, and when the monks claim that the forest is "a spiritual realm," I was reminded of "The Matrix" movies. But you'll probably be happier to know that that's all going to be right. The film has some interesting twists. When a monk goes to the office of the chief inspector, he slips his shoes off and says he has been mugged. The inspector, the only man in the office, takes the pair of shoes, throws them out the window, and asks the monks to arrest the monk. In response, they strap the pair of shoes to his feet and try to drag him outside. They succeed. "This is the body of the monk!" they exclaim. The inspector, a man named Wong, who is in charge of enforcing Buddhist teachings, is forced to reconcile with one of the monks. A short time later, the latter is kidnapped, and before he can explain, he is shot. Wong is also tied to a pipe and shot. At this point, there is a power struggle between two of the monks, and Wong kills one. Wong and one of the monks work together to save the other's life, but things go wrong. Wong gets himself killed by one of the monks and his co-workers, and the other dies in the process. The whole film is a very bad joke. You see at least some of the big beasts of the forest during some of the action, but mostly it's the monks who are shown. They're nothing more than props. I've never been a big believer in Buddhism, but the story on this film is very appealing. It's also interesting that there are so many Buddhists who join the film festival. How they found out I'll never know. That's good news for those of us who find Buddhism attractive.

Ken Ward is not afraid to use his own acting skills, in fact it's his best performance of his career. The elephant's attitude and personality is quite different from the type of elephant we all know. It has that magnetic kind of personality. I find that movie an experience. This kind of movie is not made for everyone, but if you like documentaries, you would enjoy it. This is a heart warming, inspiring, and often humorous film. We always have to have a hero in our lives, in our families, and in our company. I know it's a stereotype, but Ken Ward was that hero for me. In the end, this is a film I highly recommend.

The film gives you a number of advantages that are un-expected. First, there's the "film magic" of the audience's unearthly perception of the actors, who are doing their best with what they have and how they get the best out of the props. Secondly, the play and score from the brilliant Rick LaGoux keeps the audience interested and engaged in what they're watching and listening to. It's a scene-by-scene/conversation-by-conversation feature. Lastly, the sheer size of the projection, giving you every taste of the elephant, allows the audience to try it out themselves in their own living room. Everyone should try this film and experience it for themselves.

I really enjoyed this movie,and had just watched it on DVD when I saw some people who said they found the book to be better than the movie. I think it was mainly due to differences in the main characters personalities. Reggie Bannister was much more intense in the book, but was much more emotion driven. Hugh Grant was much more witty in the movie, which is a bit much. Peter Sallis, who I love, was a bit too hokey for me, and didn't fit very well in the movie. Anthony Zerbe was a bit more reserved and thoughtful. He could be a bit more serious in the movie, and I think it would have worked a lot better. I also found the fact that the elephant was free to roam, to be a bit boring, in the movie, however in the book he was the one who wandered off and got lost. I found it kind of stupid, and the way they were talking about how the elephant was free to roam really irritated me. I also found it annoying, because, as in the movie, when the elephant was on his own he would get very territorial and be very much too aggressive. In the book the elephant kept a level tone, and was more a gentle giant. He was only aggressive when his people were attacked. The movie had a few different endings, and I really didn't like how Reggie Bannister was killed, and wasn't in the movie at all. I also thought the movie was a bit too long. I found myself bored for the whole movie, and didn't really care about anything. Some of the parts were cut out and most of the action took place in a flashback, but, in the book, they would have already known that Reggie Bannister died, and would have been fine with that. The movie also needed to have a bit more action, and was a bit slow. I think the movie could have used a bit more tension and action. The movie is also a bit confusing. I think I would have liked it a bit more if they had made the Elephant loose a couple of elephants at the end, which would have made the whole story a lot more complex. I also think the movie could have been a bit more black and white. I really liked the elephant, however in the book he was black and white, and this is why the elephant died. There was no doubt in the story. It would have been more interesting to have the elephant be one color. They could have had him be white or black. The movie could have had a bit more humor. Reggie Bannister had a funny tone in the book, but the movie didn't have the funny tone the movie was going for. It was mainly tongue in cheek. They had to pay homage to the book a bit, and there was a bit of references to the book in the movie. But I found the movie a bit more enjoyable, and thought it was a better movie, than the book. It was entertaining. It was a bit more entertaining than the book. It is a bit more clear and more complex than the book, and the movie had less action, less humor, and more action and suspense. I also found the movie to be a little too long and overlong. I think it was too long. There was too much action and too much suspense and it had a bit too much action. I also think that the movie was way too long. I think it could have been much shorter. It would have been more fun to watch the movie shorter. I have to say that the movie was a lot better than the book. It was more enjoyable and more entertaining. It is just a shame that the book is now considered the better book. I think the movie will always be better than the book, because it was more entertaining and more entertaining than the book.

The Wilder Brothers did a much better job than I did when I was 14. Although this is not a great film, it is very well done. It is very detailed, well directed and has a very good soundtrack. It is a real accomplishment for a children's film. I just wonder why they waited so long to make a sequel. Perhaps they wanted to get the story straight before going on. If they have it to do over again, maybe they would have done a much better job of telling a story. The film will not appeal to the older generation, but the youngest should like it.

This is one of those movies where you really are enthralled by the characters, and you want to learn more about them, and their fates, and why they all ended up in their present place. It is a marvelous story, and like all great works of art, you see something you never would have seen before, and it makes you re-think everything you thought you knew about the film. I was very impressed with how accurately the trees and vegetation in this movie matched the tree and vegetation that was used in the book. While I really couldn't say much about the story, I have heard that it is a bit corny, and if you have not read the book, you might feel a bit alienated by the twist ending, but if you have read the book, you will still really be thrilled. It is definitely not a book for everyone, but I was very impressed, and I don't think I would have had the same excitement watching it without the book. You'll want to read the book, just to know the ending. If you have not read the book, read it. And if you do have the book, then you will want to read the movie. Highly recommended.

This movie is a pretty good example of a coming-of-age comedy that happens to be set in Africa. It was a little frustrating that this movie was barely 5 minutes long, but overall it was enjoyable and I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a movie that will make them feel good or remind them of childhood. I can honestly say that this movie managed to entertain me from the start until the end. And that is saying a lot. I highly recommend this movie.

This is a movie that was scheduled to be released on the big screen, but the new deal on DVD caused it to be cut short. This is a wonderful, heart-warming story of triumph over adversity and adventure. The photography is spectacular, as is the music. A very appropriate movie for the whole family to enjoy. This movie is a major departure from others of the same type, which is a good thing. All the acting is great, especially the great Anne Bancroft. She is an extremely talented actress and I think she could have had a larger role than she had. I hope she will do many more movies, such as this one, and maybe a big role for her in the near future.

A movie not for the prudish, but a great Christmas treat for any youngster who has never seen The Great Elephant Adventure. The story of Dr. Aitra (Ngaio Oluwase) and her zoo's elephant is magical. I have never seen the Disney version so I watched it for a while, and since it is narrated by Patricia Heaton (a fan of the original movie), I had to watch it. With a couple of errors, some spelling mistakes and a few technical problems, it still is a film for the ages. For the adults, and those who are skeptical of elephants, you can safely ignore this. Even if you are not interested in elephants, this movie can be a great Christmas treat! The elephant actor (played by Paul Hickey) had to work hard to make the movie seem believable, and he really makes a big difference. There is some amazing animation in the movie, the animals are interesting and the sets, designs and details are wonderful! For a great Disney movie, this one definitely ranks as a must see. Overall: 8/10

How could anyone forget Jimmy Stewart in 'The Country Squire' or any other charming British character actor. So in this new version of The Great Elephant Adventure, the Essex horse's owner, the Spanish painter and his wife, and a band of Indian warriors are transported to an Indian burial ground where they must battle an army of elephants to save their homeland. 'The Elephant Man' seems to be the latest in a long line of such British or foreign versions of any story. Although it's never really been forgotten, the story has been improved and adapted for modern times. Although still very accurate, some people may find the subject matter a little grating to have to listen to. The special effects were excellent for the most part, as the digital effects have yet to be done quite as good as they could be. And one of the most exciting parts of the movie is the chance to see the beautiful African landscape. Much of the music is composed by Michael Caine, who is one of my favourite actors. And he has a great vocal range. And then there is Paul Bettany as the central character. He is simply the most charismatic character actor in Hollywood. The costumes are wonderful and the shots are perfect. I'm a little bit concerned about the numbers of elephants in the film, but I suppose it's not too surprising because the story has to take place on a big scale. I liked the fact that the story is being improved because it involves a number of other historical events and it is important to keep the story and the characters real. But the special effects and the musical numbers may just be too much. Even though I enjoy the films they are based on, I have not been too impressed with movies based on books such as 'The Lord of the Rings' series. Still, 'The Elephant Man' is a good film, well worth watching, and it should have been a classic. But it's a good story, a good movie, and even though I may not have given it much of a 10, I think it deserves a 7 or an 8. If you're in the mood for a good British movie, this is the one to see.

This has got to be one of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time. The movie is about an elephant who goes through an adventure of self discovery that is very uplifting and very emotional. While watching the movie, I didn't feel the passion or excitement of the adventure as much as I do with a modern day adventure movie like Disney's "Huck Finn", but it still doesn't matter that much as far as I'm concerned. The movie truly uses the main character of this elephant as a main character, and that is what keeps you hooked. Every elephant in the film is portrayed in a different and unique way, and this is what makes it so captivating. I also really loved the way the film shows you the unique way that people in the current society treat elephants. From the way the elephants are treated, the jokes and references that they make, and the way they behave. It really made me think and truly made me feel like I was in the movie. I also loved the fact that it really shows you the situation of elephants in their natural habitat. I also liked how it really showed how much suffering and pain is involved in being in the circus. You know, the wild animals in the circus and how they are treated as objects, rather than being treated as sentient beings. Overall, this is a must watch documentary that I highly recommend. It is really about how people treat animals and it shows the way that society treats elephants in a very nice way, and it definitely makes you feel good. Also, I think that the movie also gives us a nice perspective on animals in general.

Having been told that it was possible to get the whole elephant race straight from the Congo to London in about three days, we found the Great Elephant adventure to be more than sufficient to transport us across the African continent for the eight days it took to watch the film. What I found surprising were the views of the African landscape. Although you could appreciate the beauty of the scenery, you were so immersed in the story you didn't notice the dark side of the African landscape - and this is not an earthy movie. Even though the actors all appeared to be in good shape, there is a pleasing entertainment factor. I was amazed that an animal of this size was able to run like a normal human. The acting was first-rate and some of the story was unexpectedly fascinating.

There are several versions of the story, each unique. The director is said to have considered these versions, and made his own. I really like the Robin Bewkes version of the film, as it gives more about the circumstances of the demise of Robert E. Howard than what actually happened. Instead of just stating Howard died on the island, the film shows him being moved to the "Big House" (a theme park owned by Himeji, this film was pre-release and shows you don't need a specific location to depict the characters in a given scene). The sequence where the elephant is stunned by this building, is one of the most memorable parts of the film. It is a real treat to see Howard in the movie. On the other hand, the motion picture "Wolverine". No, this is not a remake of "The Wild Geese", but it is not bad either. It has that charm of the previous version, and I think that is why it is so much like the Howard story. The combination of the Disney version, and the Wild Geese version, is just one of the more memorable aspects of the film. This is really a film that is best enjoyed with the audience, and can't be enjoyed in the background of an English class. I recommend watching "The Great Elephant Journey" before you watch the "Robin Bewkes animated version". While this is not a replacement to the original, it is still a very enjoyable movie that can stand on its own.
