《大象將軍》是泰國第一部3D電腦動畫長片，根據泰國歷史上一隻在重要戰役得勝的大象故事改編，那隻象也成為泰國歷史上最重要的象，並有封號。
故事是一隻長在森林裡的頑皮小象，為了尋找父親展開旅程，讓他學會許多事，並受訓成為一頭戰象。
3D電腦繪圖層次豐富，擬人化的象群造型可愛，打鬥場面逼真寫實，泰國風景、舞蹈皆入鏡，呈現泰國的風景、文化與反戰思想。

Khan Kluay is the story of a curious, naughty young elephant growing up independent in deep forest whose insatiable curiosity in regard to his missing father sets him on a journey to a great adventure. The many obstacles and difficulties that he encounters throughout the journey make him strong and the lessons he learns turn him into a brave, proud elephant full of energy but yet very gentle at heart.
