So far we have never reviewed a film that was preceded by a Walt Disney Pictures studio logo.

One would expect them to maybe just sit this particular genre out.

There are some war movies that strive to be comedic, some animated war movies that are anything

but comedic, and then there's the movie 300 which is animated and anything but

the movie 300 which is animated and comedic but you almost never see a Disney comedy

set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War

but here we are here we are. Here we are, introduced to lovable comedic actor Danny Glover,

playing the role of outgoing liaison to a monting yard village up by the Hochiman Trail.

And it's America's most beloved funny man, Ray Leota, as his by-the-book replacement. Right off the bat, the two men clash over their radically different ideas of what the mission in Vietnam is.

Kids love this stuff.

A minor slip-up lands the village in hot water with the North Vietnamese army, who extract retribution

by murdering the village elephant, and hilarity ensues.

Ha! No.

Actually, the elephant plays an important role in the spiritual life of the village, and the

mountain yards will sour on the U.S. if the fallen packaderm isn't replaced in time for an upcoming festival.

And there's our Mad cap premise.

Our Felix and Oscar, our Lewis and Martin, Glover and Leota put together a crack team featuring Dennis Leary, Doug E Doug, and the guy from

Parker Lewis can't lose, to set out in search of an elephant.

It's planes, trains, automobiles, helicopters, river boats, and C-123s. Up the river and back again,

except this time it's an actual elephant waiting up there and not just Marlon Brando in black pajamas.

Just when you think, how many more hijinks can there be in this playful romp?

They parachute the elephant on a shipping pallet out the back of a cargo plane.
