Mark Deeble and Victoria Stone’s “The Elephant Queen” might be easiest to enjoy if you think of it as a necessary corrective to the recent “live-action” remake of “The Lion King.” Whereas Disney’s hollow digital cash grab offered a soulless simulacrum of the African…
davidehrlichSep 26, 2019I love animals. I love elephants. I admire that the filmmakers dedicated four years of their life to following an elephant named Athena and her family. Unfortunately, the documentary wasn't really for me. I think it got too sidetracked with other species. There were…
