Plot: Children's book authors Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff's most beloved elephant comes to the big screen in this animated family tale. Elephant monarch King Babar tells the tale, that unfolds via flashback, of how a much-younger Barbar and his girlfriend Celeste save her village from the pugnacious rhinoceroses that have come to raid it. Though primarily aimed at younger audiences, parents should note that some scenes of abandoned babies maybe upsetting for little viewers. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

Splendid!

Babar has been a favorite since I was a child, now that I have children they are just as fond of it as I was growing up. It's nice to have movies that my children can enjoy and shows them values and being mannerable.

Great
Added 10/17/2009

I remember watching this movie as a kid and later in life wished I owned it, I finally found it and it's as good as I remember. This movie is great and I'm sure it will be just as memorable to youngsters as it was to me when I saw it all those years ago. This is the kind of thing younger kids should be watching because it is Great and not inappropriate for the younger ages.

Passing my childhood memories to my 4 year old niece
Added 11/1/2008

I loved this movie as a little toddler, must have watched it as much as I could when it was shown on cable. I decided to watch the movie again as an adult to see how it held up vs how I thought about it. It held up pretty well, it had elements of comedy along with presenting more mature themes in what I thought to be an appropriate way. I was not exactly sure if my niece would like it, the Rhinos get a little intense, but I would argue it's not as intense as some Disney movies like Lion King, Aladin, or the sharks in Finding Nemo. Turns out my niece watched the movie twice on her birthday, and when I reached for the remote to turn the tv a little louder she shrieked "Don't turn it!", I noticed it was during a scene with Babar and the Rhinos. I think she did pretty well handling the movie and loved the few songs made for sing-a-long. Parents should watch the film and know that it has some mature things in it that younger children might not be ready for, but I would watch it with them and just ask them if they feel scared.

Ok for some children
Added 8/9/2008

I first viewed Babar The Movie when it was released in cinemas, then about six years old and looked to purchase this for my children, as some say even the series had mild violence but it's no Watership Down; it depends on your child, I recall it stirred me and made me sad at times when I was a child but that's why it became a part of my heart, Babar is a sentimental epic, sit down and watch it with your children like my father did with me, you are destined to enjoy it with an open mind.

Great film for kids
Added 7/31/2008

I remember watching this movie as a kid and I loved it then and I still love it now. I think that it deals with a lot of themes that are appropriate for all ages. It is also good for adults too because it is entertaining. I love the older version of the series as well.

Definitely would recommend this movie for everyone
