hayashimegumi To a person who is genuinely interested with the animal kingdom, people's history and culture, Khan Kluay (2006) is certainly impressive. The beautiful animations are both adorable and majestic which makes it truly an elephant tale which is also very lovely and inspiring. Half of this film is mainly about war but that doesn't mean it's bad. In fact, it is an eye-opener to Thai culture and warring-era. It can educate and enlighten, which also makes Khan Kluay (2006) quite an ideal teaching and learning tool for children as it is also filled with plenty of uplifting scenes. In brief, this animated feature is bittersweet as it has its own compelling life lessons. There are several themes that can be too serious for children; nonetheless vital to acknowledge and survive in our world. PS. I personally feel Khan Kluay (2006) needs longer running time although it's already amazing. Luckily, we can have more of it because there's Khan Kluay 2 (2009)!

shannoncarmack I was prepared to not watch this movie with my 4 year old son. It looks really lame on the cover. I was half watching, half reading until I saw the bandits. I closed my book and watched in awe as a beautiful Chinese fable unfolded on the screen. The elephants and humans don't speak to each other but they try to understand each other and everyone learns several real life lessons: Yes fighting is bad and we shouldn't do it, but sometimes you must defend your country and your family....your freedom.The blue elephant's mother tells him that fighting is bad but then when he is in the middle of a war he fights for what is important to him. This is a wonderful movie to use as a teaching tool for children who have family members in the service, to teach young children that they should not hit but that they shouldn't take a beating also....."is it worth it to get into a fist fight over a toddler toy at preschool - NO, but if someone is hurting you then you can defend yourself." It also works as a defense against adults - if a child understand bullying and tyranny they are more likely to fight against it.a wonderful movie, especially if you use it as a learning tool.

slleeson 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.

oldtiger 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.
