DVD Reviews of Echo and Other Elephants
DVD Review: Echo- can re-echo over and over in my life
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderfully written and produced series. Not only does it inform people about the life of elephants but can also teach us about life and the meaning of life. It can be used to teach children about family and the purpose of extended family, the sense of belonging to a group and the reality of belonging to something larger than oneself, the purpose of sacrificing the good of one for the good of the many, and the meaning of working together to insure the continuation of all of life of the group.
DVD Review: Attenborough and Elephants - a great combination!
Summary: 5 Stars
Readers of my reviews will know that I am a sucker for both David Attenborough and Elephants. I'm happy to see a good documentary that combines the two. This set is actually a combination of several documentaries focused on the elephants in Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Each episode was done at a different point in time, so you can actually see how Echo and the other elephants in the family grow up. Cynthia Moss, a top elephant expert, provides commentary along with Attenborough.
The second disc stars Saba Douglas-Hamilton, daughter of the famous elephant expert Ian Douglas-Hamilton. Her documentaries include a mix of elephants, experiences with locals, following researchers, and other wildlife. It goes beyond Amboseli into the Namib and other parts of Africa, which is a nice touch. My favorite scene on this disc is actually her attempt to radio-collar desert lions.
This disc is far superior to another documentary about Echo, Nature: Echo of the Elephants. First of all, it has Sir David Attenborough as the narrator, which makes a big difference (trust me, having seen both recently, I can attest there is a difference). Second, this disc has several episodes and over 5 hours of footage, whereas Nature: Echo of the Elephants only includes the first documentary (around 40 minutes).

I enjoyed this longer look into the world of elephants...nicely done, great for family viewing.DVD Review: Mother's Day suprise
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this DVD set for my mother because she loves elephants. My mom had seen the first Echo documentary and fell in love with Echo's story. When I presented the DVD set to my mom on Mother's Day, she was thrilled to find so many elephant documentaries in one set. I am so glad I got the set. I recieved it really quickly too.DVD Review: message 9th february 2009

Good evening,
Today my order (see below) was delivered. To my big surprise I had to pay
almost 25,- at my door for taxes and clearing charges in addition to what
I allready paid via Mastercard . So this order became very expensive for me.
I don't think that in the future I will be interested to purchase items in
this way.
Greetings,

Description of Echo and Other Elephants
Echo and her elephant family stampede onto DVD in this spectacular two-disc set! Echo is extremely wise, an experienced mother and commanding matriarch of her family. Shes also an African elephant, and arguably one of the most famous elephants in the world through all the programs that documented her and her family for decades in Kenyas Amboseli National Park. Now all of the programs featuring these beloved elephants are available together on DVD for the first time! While it may seem that Echo and her clan live quiet lives, their days are filled with mating battles, difficult births, health problems, kidnappings, emotional reunions, mischievous children and, occasionally, death at the hand of a hunter. But with all her experience and knowledge, the 60-year old matriarch has been able to successfully lead her family through difficult times. It was also no small feat for researcher Cynthia Moss, who has followed the charismatic Echo and her herd for over 30 years. Containing 8 programs packed with stunning footage, this collection is definitely not to be missed!General DVDs
