About This Movie

So, 'Ele, My Friend' from 1992 is a curious little film set in 1920s India. You’ve got this charming story of a boy, Charles, and his bond with a baby elephant named Ele. The pacing kind of ebbs and flows, which gives it a gentle, almost nostalgic vibe. The themes of friendship and loyalty resonate throughout, especially as Charles faces the challenge of saving Ele from hunters. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects used for Ele are quite impressive given the time. The performances, particularly from the young actor playing Charles, have a certain earnestness that adds to the overall charm. It’s one of those films that feels like a hidden gem, perfect for those who enjoy heartfelt family tales.
