While the story was rather predictable to the adult viewer, younger viewers will enjoy this movie.
If you are a child watching, maybe you wouldn't think of search planes or helicopters. It was a very nice story though, and one worth believing in. There is some peril further in, and the chars are rather rough. Dialogue is also predictable and seems to end a little easier than expected.
The one issue I had was that they said Flora was in a circus in Wichita, KS in 1983. While we've had circuses come through, Wichita has never had "a circus". We have an award winning zoo that is vey lucky to have one of the best elephant preserving habitats - but no circus.
