Critics Consensus

Disneynature: Elephant adds to the studio's tradition of kid-focused, beautifully photographed nature documentaries that are just engaging enough for parents.

Read Critics Reviews

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Elephant is set in a world without poachers, developers or tourists: the picture it paints is beautiful and educative, but doesn't feel quite complete.

Rated: 3/5

Clarisse Loughrey

Independent (UK)

Though Elephant's narrative fakery is unlikely to please acolytes of David Attenborough, it's still a small thing of beauty.

Rated: 3/5

It's hard to truly buy into the idea that the film's narration is accurately describing what's going through the minds of these animals.

Elephant represents some of the best of what Disneynature has to offer, and the movie accomplishes the goal of both entertaining and educating people of all ages.

The movie is great. But the voiceover is boring and not authentic. There is no feeling. Awful

Her voice spoilt it. Shocking delivery. So inauthentic.

Too bad they chose a narrator with a voice that is unpleasant to hear, I feel sorry for the folks who worked hard on this.

The narration was more than bad enough to ruin this promising documentary for my whole family! It was just SO … AWFUL!!! Horrendously non-engaging to the point of putting us to sleep! That woman's voice is so unnatural, that it became shockingly off putting to where we could not get past it. The narrator was devoid of proper human instincts so she was unable to pull off being of any interest on any level (even the kids had bad looks on their faces!). And about how grating that voice was- yikes, it was just SO BAD!!! The irksome quality of the narration was distracting enough to completely ruin our normal experience of thoroughly enjoying every documentary we've chosen to watch on nature and animals. It was so phony and so monotone that none of us were able to engage other than to agree how off putting it was and finally call it quits before she bored us to death. What an EMBARRASSING debacle this is for Disney!!!

This is not MM's Skill set. She sounded like a robot, no feelings, just flat...Oh wait, that's because Narcissists don't have feelings. I'd rather listen to the Elephants narrating the Royal Wedding LOL!

I love the visual and editing of the film, but this overacting and sugary voice-over spoils all perception.
