My Lucky Elephant 2010


     A young elephant is very curious, he goes into a village and the people were trying to drive him away.  This behavior stopped when his very large mother came to rescue him.  Then, he followed a rabbit and his mother was not able to find him.  A young orphan boy discovers him and they become a family.  They have some jobs along the way to earn money but they end up at the Academy of Art.  Elephants are trained here to become painters and the art is sold to tourists.  Lucky doesn’t want to paint flowers like the other elephants and his surprising natural talent causes a stir at the Academy.
     This is a good family movie, some tension concerning what will happen to the boy and the elephant but all ends well.   Filming is done in Thailand and a first time acting job for Khunchan in the role of the orphan boy.  3 ½*  (I liked this movie) 

91 min, Drama directed by Eric Schwab with First Khunchan, Somboon, Tanyarat Pradittan, Hong, Charlie Sungkawess, Wallop Thearathon, Georges Levillain, Witoon Bauadaeng, Pawin Chantanimi.

Note:  Imdb 7.2 out of 10, Amazon 4.5* out of 5* with 34 reviews, Common Sense Media age 10+, 4* out of 5*, positive messages 3*, Positive Role Models 3*, Violence 2*, Dove.org 2* language, 1* violence, 2* nudity, 1* lying.
