Movie Report

As we all are aware about the success of Hanuman so more and more production houses are going to follow the trend. Now Percept Picture Company has made a film Jumbo. This is also an animated movies based on a story of baby elephant named Jumbo. Percept's Jumbo may not be as entertaining as Hanuman - one film that opened the doors for animation films in India - but it is shades better than most amateur attempts that followed the success of Hanuman.

Jumbo, based on 'Chao Praya Prah Hongsawadee', a story by Ariya Jintapanichkarn, tells the adventures of Jaiveer aka Jumbo, a baby elephant. He dreams of following Yudhveer, his absent father, and becoming the royal elephant. Jumbo decides to go in search of his father.

A weakened Jumbo then comes upon a village where humans and elephants are working together. He is befriended by a beautiful young elephant cow, but is then chained up until he is tamed. Jumbo soon learns to value the humans who have captured him. Under the training of a wise, old mahout, he becomes bigger and stronger.

A local warlord comes around annually to collect tax from the village, and his taxes have become greedier each year. The village rebels and with the humans and elephants working together, the warlord and his beasts are defeated.

The call then goes out from the king for elephants for his army. Jumbo is taken to the palace. There, he is seen by his mother, who calls out to him. Jumbo goes wild in trying to break free from his chains to meet his mother. The King notices this, and remembers Jumbo from his childhood. The king is able to calm Jumbo, and from then on Jumbo serves as the personal war elephant of the kin.
