An Elephant's Journey

Young Sam Ashe Arnold gets an adventure of a lifetime when he journeys from Canada over to South Africa to visit his aunt Elizabeth Hurley and uncle Tertius Mientjes who are wardens on an animal preserve. One of their duties is to protect Africa's elephants from poachers.

On his first day their these two manage to misplace their nephew who gets lost on the veld. But he makes a friend of an elephant and the two of them in true Boy's Life fashion make fools out of gang of ivory poachers.

A bit of the old Fury TV series and a bit of the Jay North film Maya goes into Phoenix Wilder And The Great Elephant Adventure. It's a nice family film which broaches a serious subject about preserving the great herds of elephants from poachers lest they become extinct.

I'd see this one.
