While vacationing in Africa with her eccentric parents, 12-year-old Eliza Thornberry uses her power to talk with animals to track down poachers. She becomes friends with a cheetah family, and when one of the cubs gets captured by the poachers it becomes personal. She sets off alone to find and rescue him. An approaching solar eclipse sends all of the elephants to a remote valley where the poachers plan a mass shooting. Eliza, after escaping from the poachers herself, sets off to rescue them and stop the poachers once and for all. Fairly entertaining expansion of the Nickelodeon TV series into a feature length film, with the expected environmental message not too heavy handed.
