Summary: Wonderful, very good
Comment: Great video showing that we, the "intelligent" race of the planet, have lot to learn from wildlife... For example, I enjoyed so much the Duck mom lesson: to protect their descendants with intelligence, audacity, valor, and love. This video is a must for anyone, so we can learn better why we need to respect nature and wildlife.

Summary: Beautiful indeed, a different kind of a documentary
Comment: From Jamie Uys, the director who gave us "The Gods must be Crazy 1 and 2" comes this very differently made yet interesting documentary. Only "Walt Disney's Wild Life Adventures" comes close. The enduring beauty of the lives of the animals, their natural habitats and the beauty of African nature all come together in this documentary that shares several scenes (particularly about the Kalahari bushmen) with "The Gods must be crazy" films.
Considering documentaries made of animals during that era "King Elephant", "Ape and Super Ape" Jamie Uys made sure the documentary was entertaining and that is the highlight of the movie. However watching the DVD many years later a lot of errors can be spotted. The inebriated apes scene after consumption of the fruit was completed fabricated. The scene where the bushman traps the monkey using the old fist-in-the-bottle trick was animated and literally took away the joy of the real thing. Even the sidewinder scaring off the elephant in the desert, and a drop of dew acting as a lens for the sunlight to burn of a nest seemed phony (editing tricks) though such happenings are possible. But otherwise several other beautiful scenes make this a great DVD to watch with your kids and for first-timers.
When it was released in Chennai decades ago it was titled "Beautiful People" and it had a run like any of the blockbusters of that time did.

Editorial Reviews:

From the creator of The Gods Must Be Crazy. Away in their own mysterious world, far from the prying eyes of people, Africa's animals lead lives of humor and horror, danger and dignity.
