Amy, Jack, and I liked a lot this year's Disneynature documentary about a tribe of pachyderms. This one is narrated by Meghan Markle, credited as Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex.
Co-directed by Mark Linfield and Vanessa Berlowitz, it lives up to the brand, which you can explore on their website. Each entry in the series boasts breathtaking closeup photography that always has me trying to figure out how they could get the shots, as well as interactions between the young animals and their elders. It's perhaps not for the youngest viewers, because some animals usually don't make it, either due to age or predators.
The lovely African-tinged music by Ramin Djawadi can be streamed on Apple Music and Spotify, among others.
Linfield was last blogged for Chimpanzee (another Disneynature doc) and Djawadi for A Wrinkle in Time. The last Disneynature movie we saw was Penguins.
We watched Elephant a month ago on Earth Day as intended. With a few new Apple devices in the house we have a trial subscription to Disney+, and you know how those Mouse folks roll--there aren't any workarounds to see it legally another way, at least this year.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics and audiences are averaging 77 and 74%, respectively. We look forward to the series each year and were not disappointed.
