this be another film where the cinematography be the best thing to recommend it . that would be fine if the film be a travelogue and but a a dramatic exercise in cinematic artistry and that be not good enough . the theme of inter specie respect and co operation venture timidly into the forbidden world of inter specie love and but it approach be stereotypical and indicate a lack of understanding of the behavior motif of either specie . a with many film and one always wonder what could have be achieve by a more innovative director and a more creative screenwriter . ala and we probably will never know .
