Educated into the ways and manners of humans it isn't long before Babar becomes a sophisticated elephant-about-town. But Babar is soon drawn back to the jungle where -- with his new education he becomes King of the Elephants making Celeste his queen and building the town Celesteville in her honor. Together they will share many adventures as the story of their lives unfold.Running Time: 79 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 026359156724 Manufacturer No: 91567

The elephant king with the upright stance and smashing wardrobe finally has a movie to tell his story from the scampering days of his youth through his adventures in Paris to his days as husband, father, and king. Based on the popular HBO series--which in turn is based on the books of Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff--this 75-minute film features pleasant animation, a quasi-adult contemporary soundtrack, and adventures culled from several of the classic books, including "The Story of Babar" and "Babar and his Children." Celeste and the triplets, as well as Arthur, Cornelius, and Madame, all figure prominently. The resilient elephants face a series of mishaps, including fires, illness, and the battle with the rival rhinos. All tends to end well, except for the initial death of Babar's mother, which happens Bambi's-mother-style about 10 minutes into the movie. (Ages 2 and up) --Kimberly Heinrichs

My advice: either rent this movie or check it out from the library, do not buy it, and I would recommend do not even watch it as there are so many other better movies! The only redeeming part of the movie is the soundtrack. The movie version of Babar follows the book, originally written in the 1930s. The general plot revolves around Babar's life, which is very happy until suddenly his mom is killed by a hunter with a shotgun, he gets lost, and somehow wanders into a city in Europe (from Africa!?!?!?) ...

I'm a music teacher and used this to help prepare the kids for a Poulenc concert. The story follows the original quite closely and the music, though not the Poulenc, is very good. The students really enjoyed it.

This is a wonderful, gentle, sweet video of young Babar. It starts out calm and beautiful. The music and voice over is wonderful. But then, there's the shotgun death of his mother while he's riding on her back. The hunter then trains his gun on Babar, who manages to escape. My almost-3-year-old keeps asks, where's his mother? What happened to his mother? Other than this scene, and references to how when Babar thinks of his mother he's sad, I love the video. But I don't think the killing scene and ... Read More

Since our daughter loves her Babar books, we decided to buy her this DVD.
I often find even DVDs for kids too hectic and fast-moving, but this one is a pleasant surprise: The animation is very well crafted, the story moves along smoothly without too much "action" and dialogue which can easily overwhelm smaller kids. My daughter enjoys especially the songs that are beautifully integrated.
However, the scene in which Babar's mother dies and the war with the rhinos are so drawn out, that my ... Read More

As children, both my daughter and I loved the Babar books, and I was delighted to find this video for my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter. It is absolutely the books brought to life, and she never tires of watching it.
I would highly recommend this video to anyone with children 2 years old or more.
