5.0 out of 5 stars Real story of nature with a heart!, October 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Whispers - An Elephant's Tale (DVD)

This movie was great fun! The realistic cinematography of all the animals in the wild was very educational and beautiful! Whispers is adorable and all the other elephants are fun to watch. The music was fantastic and the story is heart warming! A great movie for kids and adults alike, especially animal and nature lovers!

2.0 out of 5 stars Suicidal Cartoons, October 25, 2004

This review is from: Whispers - An Elephant's Tale (DVD)

We recently enjoyed watching the elephants walk around and talk to each other. After the feature film, we started watching one of the bonus cartoons that came with the DVD. This cartoon short was called "Clown of the Jungle".

The cartoon starts with a bird smoking a big stogie. After enjoying his cigar, he decides that life is too much to handle and attempts to kill himself.

Twice during the cartoon the character is seen holding a gun to his head.
Twice during the cartoon the character is seen with a noose around his neck.
Finally, since he didn't manage to kill himself using those methods, he decided that drinking poison was the only way to go.

My 2 & 4 year old girls really enjoyed this, next weekend they want to watch Faces of Death or maybe HBO's Autopsy.

On a more serious note, when I was growing up, we would see this all the time, but I think things have changed a bit since then. Of the millions of cartoon clips, I'm a little shocked to see one of this nature on a G Rated Disney DVD.

Enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars 2yr old son loves this movie!, October 9, 2008

My son loves this movie - he wanted to rent it everytime we went to Blockbuster, so I just went ahead and bought it. It is a cute story. The only rough part is hunters shooting off their guns, but it doesn't show any gore, and is pretty short. It is a cute family story with great live footage.
