Overall, Echo and Other Elephants is a must-have collection for lovers of great nature footage. Elephants are covered with such zeal and care within these eight documentaries that it’s hard not to become completely absorbed in the material. The documentaries about Echo are indeed the best of the bunch and the footage featuring Moss and the elephants is amazing, but the other pieces on the set are also well worth a look.
As a final caution, the DVD’s sound is incredible and really brings the bellows, roars, and noises of the elephants in their various stages of life stampeding into the living room. Speaker-rumbling sounds are common, as the mating battles and expressive reunions of Echo and Other Elephants take place. Proceed with caution, but don’t be afraid to take on this stunning collection.
