Steve C @RT19610513 Jun 20 This is the darkest portrayal of the Babar world, especially regarding the rhinos. See more 02/16/2014 Won't entertain anyone but the youngest (sub 5 years old) viewer See more 11/04/2013 I watch this move on Disney Channel when I was 10/11 year old but its was good animated movie based on children book series, and TV series too See more 09/03/2013 I was quite surprised that one of my early childhood favorite movies was not only tolerable but also still fun to watch. I got a kick out of the songs again and it really brought back some memories. (First viewing - Childhood) See more 05/13/2013 "Babar" was one of my favorite movies as a child. But it's not the sort of movie that you love forever. See more 01/22/2013 A MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE!!! See more Read all reviews
