Babar the Movie is very loyal to the spirit and elegant minimalist graphic style of the original.

I loved it as a kid. I won't say it's a great movie, particularly if you're watching it as an adult. But your kids may like it, especially if they like elephants.

I was quite surprised that one of my early childhood favorite movies was not only tolerable but also still fun to watch. I got a kick out of the songs again and it really brought back some memories. (First viewing - Childhood)

"Babar" was one of my favorite movies as a child. But it's not the sort of movie that you love forever.
