I had high hopes for this film, and tried hard to like it. Particularly considering the good cause in bringing awareness to elephants. But was I disappointed.

Particularly considering the good cause in bringing awareness to elephants. But was I disappointed. It was very difficult to sit through in it's entirety. It felt like I was in Pre-School all over again, having my teacher read the class a story. Definitely not for adults, and I can't imagine most children sitting through a documentary like this. Pretty bad acting/over-acting, all the way around on this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, let me get this out of the way: Elephants don't exist. I know, I know, I'm a genius. But if you happen to be a dumb butt that believes in Africa, let me inform you why you're wrong from plotholes in this very movie. First of all, at the beginning, where was the water in the lake thing coming from??? Hm??? Yea, riddle me this libtards. Secondly, if they were in a tropical paradise with unlimited food and water, why didn't they stay? Why did Gaya lead them out? Hm??? Honestly, Gaya had it coming with the lions. Thirdly, where did the whole ecosystem come from when the lake-swamp thing filled up again? Literally fish were swimming in a lake that was made 5 seconds ago. There are so many plotholes Disney. The frogs, the purpose of the journey, and overall the concept of Africa in general. Why did a baby elephant just pop out? They didn't show a pregnant elephant anywhere. Wake up sheeple, elephants died 20 years ago along with Africa. Disney is trying to trick us to make us believe in global warming. BE BETTER.… Expand

Lasted less than 10 minutes, I couldn’t stand the narrators voice. The cinematography was beautiful and I truly wish a different narrator was chosen. Meryl Streep would’ve been way better.

Beautiful cinematography with a saccharine style. Kids will no doubt love this movie.

Am so upset that Disney used Meghan's voice for this movie. Ruined it. My children were over it within the first 10ish minutes and we LOVE elephants. All these 10s are clearly from the new PR team Meghan hired upon moving to LA. DO NOT wasteAm so upset that Disney used Meghan's voice for this movie. Ruined it.

DO NOT waste your money ... if u can view it for free, only then take the chance watching it. If you want to donate to the elephants plight, there are better ways to do so without having to hear Meghan's pretentious tone in this movie. Poor elephants… Expand

Awful, awful saccharine narration by an entitled, deluded rich girl spoils an otherwise well filmed and captivating wildlife documentary, rendering it unwatchable.

Cinematically lovely, but narration was cheesy and tacky. This was clearly narrated by an amateur in narration. Just really spoiled the whole experience for me. Bad move, Disney!

You really have to laugh at the 29 reviews giving 10! They are all from the same IP address and are ALL created by the same sad little person who is a minion of Meghan!

They are all from the same IP address and are ALL created by the same sad little person who is a minion of Meghan! Well what do we have here...a Z lister actress trying to break into Hollywood in the twilight of her life. The voice is corny, cheesy, dull, unimpressive, boring and inarticulate. The best way to watch this film is with the sound turned right down. Great scenes but oh that dreadful droning voice! The truth is that Meghan can have all the 10 reviews she likes on here but she just cannot act. She has zero talent and zero looks too. Too old, too boring too talentless. The elephants are great the narrator is rubbish.… Expand

Sadly for this beautiful film, this is a very amateur narration, with an annoying voice and a flagrant lack of experience from the narrator, which all contribute to make the listener tune out after a short few minutes. Nature documentaries should be left to the REAL professionals. Duchess or no duchess, Meghan Markle is nowhere near the excellence standard of Sir David Attenborough. Disney has shown terrible judgement by allowing Meghan Markle to spoil this exquisite documentary. Sorry Disney - one needs real talent to pull this off, you should have chosen wisely.… Expand

Pure She-ite. I’ve given this a 1 because of the nice shots of animals but the narration ruins it. Had to stop watching half way through. Normally I could watch paint dry while high and be happy but this was unbearable

This was incredibly boring made worse by the ‘narrators’ irritating voice .
