    I rate this title iffy for age 3 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Elephant trunk doesn't look like that! Someones being inappropriate!!

    Ya know, I think the trunk on the elephant looks to much like a limp penis because of it's smooth texture and the way it kind of flops around!!!! I think it's disgusting to watch!! Remember the little mermaid ??? All that penis wiggling stuff in it and a giant penis on the cover of the movie!!?? Poor, poor animation of this character!!!!! It's down right aggravating that people can't design a character without considering these things! Disney channel is wrong wrong wrong for this one!!!!
