Elephant

Disneynature's Elephant is a captivating documentary that presents an intimate portrayal of the life of an African elephant family. The film primarily focuses on Shani and her spirited young son Jomo as they embark on an extraordinary journey through the expansive Kalahari Desert, guided by their wise matriarch Gaia. Their odyssey is fraught with challenges such as unrelenting heat, diminishing resources, and persistent predators; however, these obstacles serve to enhance the narrative's emotional depth.

The film beautifully illustrates the incredible lengths that animals will go through for survival while also celebrating the indomitable spirit of family and the cycle of life in the natural world.
