Babar - King Of The Elephants

This is a sweet, relaxing movie until Babar's mother is shot and dies in front of him early in the movie. My 4.5 year old broke down in pained sobs ... it was her nightmare come true. Granted, I should have prescreened; but nothing in the first ten minutes suggested that Babar would be nosing his mother's lifeless corpse out of the blue. My daughter's review: "you can be sad, but not that sad. I guess they were not paying attention to what they were writing!" I agree. Not worth it for a little one.

Kids loved it. Some sad and scary stuff for younger kids (Babar’s mother dying abruptly, later Babar has a nightmare which has some creepy evil stuff.) Storyline seemed disjointed and random to me, but the kids loved it

This movie is good, especially if your son or daughter LOVES Babar. However, the mother of Babar gets killed by a hunter in the very first 10 minutes of the movie. My son still loved it, he didn't cry or get overwhelmed; It did however, open up a lot of questions about why Babar mom got hurt. So be prepared for that, but otherwise as the story goes on, it is the story of Babar and Celeste which my son watches over and over and over again, until he almost knows the words by heart.

Delightful, full of fun for all ages, my granddaughters, five and eight years old loved it.As for me, it reminded me of my childhood, when we read the Babar books, writtenby Jean de Brunhof to pay for his sanatorium when he suffered from TB. HIs sontook over after him and continued with great adventures of the vegetarian tribe,who ate wonderful soup of bananas in chocolate!

I put it in and it worked. Better than the old one. Thanks.

I purchased this DVD so my 2 year old grandson could watch it at my house. He enjoys watching the Babar stories on On Demand. He loved this show! The music, the story, the content were all wonderful! It's sad when mother dies, but we talked about it a little and he was fine. He actually liked seeing the scary dream and asked to watch it again.H-m-m-m- Great purchase!!

Of course in typical Disney fashion the mom has to die for the story to move on...we skip that scene of course as well as one where the animals are at "war"...overall I wouldn't have gotten this but it was a gift so hey, free is free. Not one of my son's most favorite (right now we are watching Shrek ad nasueam) but still cute.

So few movies are appropriate for sensitive little kids, toddler to preschooler age, that we only have a few DVDs for our 2.5 year old.This DVD is a gem! Perfect for his age, with only two scenes that need parental interpretation (Babar's mother is shot in one, and Babar battles evil spirits in the other).A perfect introduction to Babar and the book series.

I LOVE THIS FILM, but the seller marked this as “Very good” condition and the DVD skipped all the way throughout so ruined it.

My 2 and half year old son and I love this film. It's very charming, the music, story and characters take you on an exciting adventure.

Bought for my 4 year old grandson and he loves it.

My daughter has watched this since she was around 4 or 5 and she still likes it.Make sure you can play region 1.

Disc is great. It's new, and packaged. No scratches. And it's the babar movie we all love to watch!Couldn't find it anywhere else in store, so great its online.
