This film has some pretty significant things going for it: The cinematography and lighting are beautiful; together they successfully capture a truly dense and wondrous natural landscape. The animal handling is impressive. The little girl is cute.
But if this film had had no narration and no voice over it would have been substantially better. Both (in the English version, anyway) are invasive, poorly written, and poorly executed. The music is also occasionally distractingly over-dramatic. It's unfortunate that the filmmakers didn't have enough insight to remove these unsuccessful elements in order focus on their strengths.
