Sweet movie, but slghtly ominous for all the usual reasons. Who wants to see elephants straining to move stuff in 2017? But still, they're work elephants, so what do I know? Baby elephant is shown cute and with his mom for a few scenes, but then gets trained about how to accept weights on his back and how to kneel down by putting heavy weight on it's back. Progress, right? Soon they're out hunting tigers. Huzzah!
