About Elephant Boy

Elephant Boy: The unusual amalgam of documentary maven Robert Flaherty and pure-entertainment producer Zoltan Korda resulted in the 1937 money-spinner Elephant Boy. In his screen debut, eleven-year-old Indian-born Sabu plays the title character, a mahout named Toomai...Description Little Toomai longs to be a great hunter like his father but on an expedition his father is killed and Toomai is told to go home. But Toomai follows secretly and upon hearing his elephant's sounds of distress at being separated from him runs to the loyal animal and escapes with it into the jungle only to find the legendary herd of dancing elephants which the hunting party is looking for.
