Synopsis:
 A young orphaned boy and a baby elephant end up together in an adventure that takes them from an exotic jungle to a bustling city. They’ll discover that through all the laughter, the fun, the challenges and the surprises, life is better when you share it with a friend.

Dove Worldview:
 Here is a unique and fun story about a boy who takes care of an elephant. A young boy has no family and comes across a baby elephant. The boy befriends the elephant by offering him fruit and soon he is working with the elephant to make a living for them both.

The elephant is talented at using his trunk to paint and his paintings are very well done especially for...well, an elephant! The boy names the elephant Lucky and he and Lucky share several adventures. He and Lucky even do a dance together. When Lucky meets a female elephant it becomes clear that the boy might have to eventually set Lucky free.

We are pleased to award this DVD our Dove Seal for ages twelve plus, due to a strong utterance of language. The movie features some great moments between the boy and Lucky. Enjoy watching this one soon.
