Khan Kluay 2 (2009) is a recollection of the days when elephant flourishes the land. Elephants are not only large in size, they were also large in numbers before. That was centuries ago where they live in harmony and fight side by side with the human race. If films can be labelled with color and taste, I would say this film would be grey and bittersweet. Grey because it is depressing that most existing species of elephants are endangered today...bittersweet, well, do I really have to explain this?

This film is undeniably patriotic, where loving your nation and protecting its citizen is implied as a crucial duty. However, it is also sweet as there are plenty of scenes that strongly values blood ties and friendship above everything else which are honorable. Thus, the spirit of the family love in this film is no less of the characters' patriotism as towards the end, it teaches us that it is equally important to protect our own family (and others even if we are not related at all) as well. Life is indeed priceless.

In this sequel, the storyline and designs are much refined. Also just like before but much improved, the beautiful Thai animations are both adorable and majestic. There are a lot of aerial views of ancient Thailand and I find most of the characters gorgeous and I would certainly want to watch more of them on screen!

Do not know how to express this but I really, really, love Khan Kluay films. I love the beautifully animated elephants, they are the most beautiful animated elephants I've seen; love the historical adaptation, of the people and war living in that era and I definitely love the fact that I am able to watch Thai culture, animated.

Hopefully there's Khan Kluay 3 because if there is, I would fly to Thailand just to catch it on theatre! *Pray pray pray, I hope there is, and, no schedule clash please*
