A charming animated adventure centered on a young elephant prince and his girlfriend defending a village, told with warmth, playfulness, and a romantic undertone suitable for family audiences.

Children's book authors Jean and Laurent de Brunhoff's most beloved elephant comes to the big screen in this animated family tale. Elephant monarch King Babar tells the tale, that unfolds via flashback, of how a much-younger Barbar and his girlfriend Celeste save her village from the pugnacious rhinoceroses that have come to raid it.
