    Beautiful. I really enjoyed this, even if the actress who played Joy's accent was irritating. Elsa was a beautiful creature.

    A heartwarming, touching and simple film, Pleasant cast, but the acting is a bit stiff. Well made, always interesting, wonderful African location filming. Great hit theme song.
